Välkommen till Doozy of a Days Associations avancerad nivå för figurmålning.

Kan du baskunskaperna i firgurmålning men vill utveckla dig att lära dig annan teknik eller flera steg i ditt målande? Då är denna workshop för dig.

In Path of Dice the goal is to create a connected path of dice from your starting area to the opposite end of the board by placing the just-rolled dice according to a few simple rules. Your opponent is of course doing the same from the other end thus creating a lot of conflict.

It's a fun, fast, simple and surprisingly strategic game for two or four players.

A 2-player game is played in about ten minutes with strategic decisions being made on most throws.

With so many dice being rolled luck does play a big part in who wins the game. But the strategic depth of the game could still surprise its creator even after 50+ played games.

Come and try games and prototypes by Swedish Meeples

1995 kom zombierna till den lilla staden Möllinge och efter det var inget sig likt. Ingen brydde sig längre om finanskrisens efterdyningar eller försökte få biljetter till bio premiären av Braveheart. Livet handlade helt enkelt om att överleva dagen.
Kom och spela Hjärnor! Ta rollen som en av våra vardagshjältar och försök tillsammans med dina medspelare överleva zombieutbrottet. Det svenskutvecklade spelet är ett kooperativt figurspel med ett actionfyllt och intuitivt regelsystem som inte kräver några förkunskaper.
Börja med introduktionsscenariot eller något av de scenarier som finns i regelboken. Du har också möjlighet att provspela material som är under utveckling. Passa också på att byta några ord med spelets skapare som håller i arrangemanget.

Try a quick game of Perilous Pond or Bushido Duels!

Jump in and roll some dice in this fun and tactical action programming game set in an ever-changing pond. Life isn't easy for a small frog and every turn is a new puzzle for you to solve. Use your available actions like catch or lure fireflies, push opponents, walk, jump, and manipulate the water lilies of the pond. Fight for position and food in this small box game with excellent table presence. A game takes about 15 min per player.

Bushido duels is a fast, fun and action-packed card game where the players try to out-think each other, act unpredictably and have faith that their risks will reap rewards. The game is designed by Frozen Maze Games and illustrated by the talented Emily Ryan. A duel takes about 10-15 minutes

Both games are suitable for young and old alike.

Feel free to drop by and try them out, no pre-registration is required. We also have the games for sale, including a convention-exclusive expansion for Perilous Pond.

Grid Attack Arena is a two-player character-based game where each player issues commands to a team of robots battling in an arena with a dynamically vertical playing field. This unique mechanic gives players control over the terrain, making it a core part of the tactical decisions throughout the game.

You have never seen anything quite like this in your entire life... Endless amounts of all matter of items, dusty documents, artifacts of all kinds from a lost world, of a time long forgotten.

The very odd archivist greets you and quickly shakes your hand with a wide bright smile on his face. He wants to show you everything, yes, yes! It's been so long since someone last visited him and had any interest in his work.

You are a wanderer and you have no memories of your previous life. However wherever you go people welcome you with stories, food and shelter in exchange for your assistance.

You help others in order to recover what you have lost. If you choose not to aid, their desires will become cursed and forever lost.

Rumors of a strange deadly affliction called the Red Lichen has led you to a very old library. There you are hoping to find a remedy to the horrific disease that plagues these unfortunates that ultimately take their own lives...

You'll be faced with cruel choices; this game is not about winning. It is about telling a tragic story in a medieval ever-changing world, where the forest lays claim to everything, and where its creatures have gone mad, where nature and animals are merging with humans, and fears and nightmares materialize in reality...

"WalkingStick" is a game that has a strong emphasis on collaborative storytelling, and all players are encouraged to create major parts of the narrative during play. The entire group rolls the dice together as one and from there decides the outcomes of the dramatic moments discovered throughout the session.

Enjoy a Ghibli-esque and Nightmarish Fairy-tale in "Walking Stick".
