Each card a player draws represents either a universal “Mod” card used to equip your Bot with powerful combat stats or a unique “Program” card that has a game changing one time effect themed around one of the 5 types; Attack\, Defence\, Cards\, Nexus and Load.  Manage your limited resources to play your cards and don’t get caught “Overloaded” for too long or you’ll find yourself with 0 Hit Points before your opponent! \nAbout the Designer: Khuzwane Holder is passionate about creating fantasy stories and worlds and thinks table-top games are an amazing medium to experience these worlds and tell these stories. With help from other creative friends like Hayden Cook\, Simon Boxall and James Bradley\, his crazy ideas are coming to life and making their way out his head and onto the table \n \n \n  \nMANDRAGORIUM \nAbout the Game: You are a Botanist in search of the prized Mandragora\, leafy creatures who are both sly and mischievous.

He enjoys video games\, board games and most especially trading card games and even more so playing them with his family.

With your team of Explorers\, delve into the dungeons and uncover the secrets to their glory that lasted a millennia. You are not alone.

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!

Complete your job and you’ll still advance. Just don’t be the last to complete their job or pull out the wrong tool. \n \n  \nGARDEN RUSH \nAbout the Game: A 2-player\, family-friendly game that takes about 5 minutes to learn and 40 minutes to play.

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!
