Event Descriptions

Friday: The Devil's Due

By Joe Donaghue, Brett Johnson, Link Maritineau, and Nate Nolan

On the isle of Tortuga there are many secrets, perhaps the most sought after is the lost treasure of the infamous Pirate Mortimer Black. For over fifteen years his ship, The Devil's Due, was the most feared sight in the Caribbean, but that was years ago.

Much has changed since Mortimer's disappearance, but Tortuga is still home to native islanders, ambitious Europeans, and rapacious pirates - each with their own secrets and goals.

Play a pirate or landlubber and do your best survive, get rich, and achieve your goals.

This is a (somewhat) kid friendly game filled with pirates, combat, treasure, and scheming.

Players: 22+

Saturday: The Last Episode

By Dave Ehren and Rob Purple

Two years ago, something brought the Muppets to life! The Muppet Show continued, but behind the scenes changes were occurring… The whole world is still watching, and wondering what will become of these darling "living dolls".

Now, their show is ending! The unpopular Muppets are losing their life force, becoming inert again. Can you maintain your popularity while staying true to Jim Henson's dream? Will living Muppets become Americans, or declare independence? Will the Count become more popular than Edward or that other guy? Is it really an alien baby if a Muppet has one?

Lots and lots of laughs, with some plots to make you think. Existential or just funny voices, many kid-friendly characters.

Players: 18-27
