He enjoys video games\, board games and most especially trading card games and even more so playing them with his family. He designs games for the fun of making systems and mechanics that are intuitive and rewarding. It's also a reason to design new characters and create new stories. \n \n \n  \n  \nDUNGEONESS \nAbout the Game: Deep within the heart of Myrvenria\, lies ruin an ancient kingdom of Magic and Prosperity. With your team of Explorers\, delve into the dungeons and uncover the secrets to their glory that lasted a millennia. You are not alone. Several other groups of explorers have arrived with their own agendas. Gather the relics together\, there’s no point in quarrelling amongst one another\, there is something sinister lurking in the darkness. \nAbout the Designer: Elijah Lopez is an artist and game designer.

He designs games for the fun of making systems and mechanics that are intuitive and rewarding. It's also a reason to design new characters and create new stories. \n \n \n  \nSKY'S EDGE \nAbout the Game: In this 3-6 player\, sci-fi/horror\, engine builder you are racing to colonise a planet and exploit alien relics... however the more colonists you dump out the airlock\, the faster you will accelerate and the sooner you will arrive. Do you really need that colonist? Or do you space them and arrive just ahead of your competition... \nAbout the Designer: Grant Bennett is a Canterbury local who fell into game design when doing space science outreach. He realised that while space can be really dangerous for the unprepared\, this makes it a great setting for both board games and role playing games. \n \n  \nBON APPÉTIT \nAbout the Game:Food should bring joy\, not germs!

Your aim is to wear shorts the most\, each and every round. Every round you succeed at this\, you win and get a point! Will you be the ‘shortiest’ player at the table? Or\, will you be forced by the others to be down-trod and up-trowed? In this game\, the shorter the leg-wear\, the better! Who will you make wear the Trousers? \nAbout the Designer: Henry Beeby-Zeier is a Christchurch based game designer.  After following through on an idea about what might happen if two games were combined he figured out that he enjoyed designing games!  This has led to him coming up with a series of concepts for board and card games\, one of which is No Time's Too Short For Shorts!!  You can find out more about Henry and his games here - preciselyeccentricgames.com \n \n \n  \nWe'll be adding to the list as we get closer to the event so remember to keep an eye out for some exciting updates through our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/Meepleopolis \nWe look forward to seeing your support for local game designers on the day!
