All board game and card game events this year have been designated School of Hard CHUCKS events. School of Hard CHUCKS are learn and play events where sets will be provided and rules taught for a few of CHUCK's favorite board and card games. Come to school, and learn a few new (or "old") games in a relaxed environment down by the river. Prizes may be given, depending on the level of competition, but are not guaranteed. School of Hard CHUCKS events are primarily learning and fun events, played under the guidance of the event GM, and not sanctioned tournaments. Scenarios may not be balanced but are intended to be instructive. Players who are already familar with the game may also play. If enough experienced players are present, more advanced scenarios may be used instead. |
 Race for the Galaxy is a card game by Tom Lehman first published in 2007. It is "related" to both Puerto Rico and San Juan. The game is currently complete with all three planned expansions published. The base game and possibly the first expansion will be taught and played at CHUCK-a-CON. In Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Each turn each player chooses one action, but the others will share in the actions chosen, each player secretly and simultaneously chooses one of seven different action cards and then reveals it. Only the selected phases occur. For these phases, every player performs the phase’s action, while the selecting player(s) also get a bonus for that phase.  |
