Description:
Tracking for this event is all digital so you don't need to be anywhere at any special time to get involved. Register at our online registration page (link provided when you purchase a ticket). This event is about encouraging one another to walk more steps during the show & help out Gen Con’s charity partner. There’s lots of time to play games but also tons of opportunities for walking around the convention center & downtown Indy to make sure you fully explore the area, get some exercise in while there, support a great cause & enter to win a drawing for a prize. The more you walk the more prize entries you’ll get. To enter into the drawing bring your event ticket to the Overworld Games Booth (#2558), the ticket value will go to the charity. The drawing will be held Sunday morning; you will be emailed & can stop by the booth to pick-up your prize any time before the Exhibit Hall closes.
Part light LARP & part board game. Players to the test of handling an alien invasion, playing dice, strategy, role-playing, & economic games in this “megagame.”
Description:
Part social live role-playing game and part board game, Watch the Skies puts players to the test of handling an extraterrestrial invasion, playing dice, strategy, role-playing, and economic games during this “megagame.” Play as a scientist, a Chief of Defense, a Head of State, a UN delegate, or a part of bizarre alien society on a team of players tasked with either saving the world or plunging it into madness. Cooperate, coordinate, or compete with other nations and roles as you play one of the role-based mini-games, then meet back up with your team to discuss intelligence and make plans for future turns. Join dozens of players and build a complete story together, crossing the solar system and incorporating role-playing, game strategy, social engineering, and sheer dumb luck into this gargantuan gaming event!
Outwit. Outplay. Outwolf. Compete during the day for rewards. Scramble during the night to dodge the wolf. Do you have what it takes to stay alive on Werewolf Island, & become the Ultimate Survivor?
Description:
Now in its 5th "season" at GenCon, players will compete in tribes and individually to become the Ultimate Werewolf Survivor. During the "day", Game play will be similar to the popular TV reality show. You will do challenges to gain bonuses for yourself and your tribe. Every night a player is eliminated through a vote at the tribal council. Later during the night, any player can be a werewolf or a special role, but those cards are usually limited to the winner of the challenges! [Note: "Eliminated" players may still participate as a judge later in the game. You will be able to exact your revenge, by deciding who deserves to be the Ulitimate Werewolf Survivor!]
