[Deptheads] Virtual Gamex

Wed May 6 22:32:59 PDT 2020

For marketing:

We are happy to announce Indie New Games as an official department of
Strategicon! We showcase and celebrate the board game designers and their
team! Come be part of the process and help play-test the games that have
yet to hit the shelves with the game designers themselves.

We happily present the GameX 2020 Charity Raffle! Any donations towards the
charity raffle will go towards the Los Angeles Firefighters and GeeKitties
Cat Rescue. We want to focus on front-line workers as well as friendly
local game stores that have been hurting because of COVID-19. You can
donate to the charity for entries, as well as play a game from the Indie
New Games Department for additional entries. You can also make a purchase
from your local friendly game store affiliated with the charity, and you
will receive entries. Winners will be chosen randomly via Gleam on Tuesday,
May 26.

Some games that are included in the prize pool are: Cat Lady, three copies
of Cat Rescue, two copies of Upstaged, two copies of Skully Bunnies, and a
copy of Hurt ‘Em!

Upcoming games to look forward to in our department include:

·       *Battle of Souls *and *Death of Liberty *by William Brevard (No
Limit Games)

·       *Hurt ‘Em! Expansion *by Andrew Lowen (Biff’s Games)

·       *Icon *and *Upstaged *by Mike Trias (Koalatie Games)

·       *Macaron *by Ta-Te Wu (Sunrise Tornado)

·       *Skully Bunnies *by Chick Meow Studios

·       *Logolepsy, StarFall, MetaBuilder, *and *LARP Rejects *by Dakota
Bloom and Emma Michaels
