Go down into the dungeon. Kill everything you meet.

Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the

treasure and run.

Admit it. You love it.

2 ? Turned Based

War Game

Ogre and its sequel, G.E.V., are tactical ground combat

games set in the late 21st century. In 2085 A.D., armored

warfare is faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks

and infantry slug it out with tactical nukes. But the most

feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's the

giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre.

If you're new to Ogre, here's a bit of fiction that will serve as

an introduction.

Ogre was Steve Jackson's first design. It was originally

released in 1977, as the first Metagaming Microgame. Since

then, it has appeared in Pocket Box and "Deluxe" large-

board editions, as well as a miniatures version and a

computer game from Origin Systems (now long out of

print).

3-6 2 Pen &

Paper RPG

In the 13th Age of the world, adventurers seek

their fortunes in the Dragon Empire while

powerful individuals known as Icons pursue

goals that may preserve the empire from chaos,

or send it over the edge.

Players decide which Icons their characters ally

with, and which ones they oppose. These

relationships, along with a personal history and a

unique trait chosen during character creation,

help define an adventurer’s place in the world of

13th Age and lay the groundwork for epic stories

that emerge through play.

There are also fun new rules for hitting orcs and

making them go splat.

Mobscenity Game Name

Gamerati FEB 2014

3-6 1 Card Game

Mobscenity is a hilarious new adult party game

where players compete to turn innocent words

into the most outrageous definitions imaginable.

Mobscenity is incredibly easy to play: every

round of Mobscenity, the round's "Master" picks

2 innocent words from their hand to create a

Mobscenity Phrase. Each player then tries to

come up with the best definition for the phrase

and then use it in a sentence. The Master picks

their favorite response and the winning player

gets a point. Not for the faint of heart, the

results are frequently side-splitting.

the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and

misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but

simple: you want your characters to suffer the

greatest tragedies possible before passing on to

the well-deserved respite of death. You'll play

horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or

Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to

lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to

cheer your opponents' characters with marriages

points. The player with the lowest total Family
