Join seasoned 13th Age designers to build a brand-new monster that takes advantage of the game's mechanics to deliver some nasty surprises at the table.
Try a new take on an old game. Discuss what you love about co-op games and learn a co-op rules set for Uno.
Description:
While competition is valuable, we have come to the realization that co-op styles games are great tools to teach teamwork, logic/planning, and fostering community and cooperation in groups. Whether you are looking to dip your toes in the co-op pool, breathe life into games collecting dust, or just try something new and weird - you should find what you're looking for. We'll start as a group discussing co-op games and why there is so much power in a shared experience. Then we'll look at a co-op take on a classic - Uno. Bring a deck and try a round (either with your in-person group or virtual groups). You'll get a copy of the rules to take with you. We'll finish with some feedback/suggestion time on how the game (and others like it) can be improved.

Materials- black poster board, brads (paper fasteners), xacto knife/blades, cutting mat, clear tape, craft wire, wire cutters, 2 wire coat hangers (or firm but bendable wire rod) or bamboo skewers.
