As has become tradition we invite you to join us for a light snack (or more correctly a heart stopping fry) in the morning before kick off.
Myself and the Knaves will be sitting down to brekkie around 8:30/9:00 tomorrow morning in the Hotel. Carb up and get a good run at the day
Huzzah!

Thanks to all those who have already jumped on board with the Knavecon Grand Raffle. I’m a little late with this post, as promised I’m adding some more games to the prize fund and because I’m a little late I’m extended the double ticket window until Midnight 2nd April. So without further adieu I’m adding PAGODA to the draw
All those who have entered the draw will also be entered for the Pagoda draw.
There’s still time to jump onboard and throw your hat in the ring for what some are saying will be the biggest raffle since the National Lottery*
WATCH THIS SPACE (well you know what I mean), more items will be added in the run up to Knavecon
Huzzah!

Gambit is the first electronic expansion for star realms. They really hit it out of the park with Star Realms. It’s a great great game and works so well electronically.
Gambit on the other hand is a minor enhancement. It adds a little but not a huge amount to a the base game. It’s certainly not essential to your enjoyment of the game
I’ve had it for a few weeks now and it’s fun but really compared to what you get for your money with the base game it’s small beer. I’ve waited a few weeks before I gave my opinion and it hasn’t changed.
Star realms itself is a stupendous game, it’s so much more than the sum of its parts. Gambit doesn’t add enough to recommend it. If you’ve had your fill of vanilla star realms then it could be worth a look. If you’re a die hard fan chances are you’ve already in game purchased it and are now wondering what you could have done with that 3.99 you burnt
There’s another few expansions coming down the tracks and those I’m looking forward to. Until then don’t bother, just like octodad it’s a damp squid…..
Sorry

a Big game of Cards against humanity has become a tradition at Knavecon. Once we’ve entered the terminal phase of the con where young ninjas are safely tucked away, grog has been piped and a more robust turn of phrase is abroad, out comes CAH. This year we’re going to freshen things up by adding the five expansions to the game which should be winging their way to Knavecon central as we speak.
If you’re easily offended make sure to join this game on the night.

I regularly get slagged off for playing inappropriate music at games nights. Even though Knavecon can be a noisy affair I always thought it lacked music, so rather than subject the gamers to my Excellent taste in music I’m bringing in a professional. Say hello to Big Phil. Phil Wade is a veteran DJ who regularly plays in Limerick and as a gamer himself is perfectly placed to produce the ambient atmosphere and background music the con deserves.
This is going to be a hell of a day!
Huzzah!
