GameFest Brisbane 2015 was the biggest show yet.. with 58 hours of games played across the 3 days (Friday night to Sunday lunchtime), and more than 30 people registered over the weekend.  \nFirstly a big GIANT THANK-YOU to everyone for attending, playing, hosting and supporting GameFest, not only this year, but over the previous 5 years as well. Whether you were there in person or in spirit, I have felt everyone’s good will over the years.  \nSecondly, the the games this year were an interesting mix – representing a slight shift in focus, with no less intensity of enthusiasm for events, but with a definite favouring of the role-playing genre, tactical miniatures, horror themes and for trying new game-types (including a very original mash-up game by Ash “The Void Gothic” and a “Artemis”, tabletop-group-co-op game using a LAN network of computers to simulate the bridge crew of a starship.  \nOf particular note this year was also the overwhelming interest in a couple of games where we needed to run parallel sessions or large groups due to sign-ups for these events: Mice and Mysticsand Eldritch Horror and a 9-player game of Formula D!  \nOf course, the staples of Carcassonne and Settlers of Catan were back, as was Dungeons & Dragons B/X (Basic-Expert) . These were joined by the famous deck-building game Dominion, which has been out since Essen 2009 and has been going string ever since. Thanks for introducing that one to the fold Brendon… 􀀭  \nFor this year’s Saturday night dinner, we ordered-in catering from Robyn’s Charcoal Chicken and it seemed well-received.  \nThis year’s programme also saw some tinkering by yours truly, as we endeavoured to:  \n-place all the tactical games in the mornings (when, presumably our minds are sharper.. though I’m not convinced that was the case for me on Sunday morning! :-)  \n-place the Role-plays (or pseudo-RPGs) on the first night (Friday), and in the afternoon of Saturday.  \n-place the Board-games elsewhere; figuring that times like late Saturday night was the best place to put games that didn’t require as much intense concentration.  \nThe use of this year’s venue changed somewhat in structure also:  \n- we included the use (with permission) of the downstairs area (affectionately known asthe “Babuska lounge”) for either the more atmospheric or story-telling games or where a more peaceful environment was preferred; which seemed to work OK; feedback on that is welcome BTW…  \nAnyway, enough of my musings.. let’s review the game round-up for this year:  \nFormula D – Formula-1 Car Racing board game  \nOn the famous Monaco circuit, the drivers pushed their multi-million F1 cars around the track at breakneck speeds wearing out their tyres, engines, brakes, suspension and gearboxes until there wasn’t much more than grinding metal and carbon-fibre left to carry them precariously over the finish line..  \nThe Stig watched-on approvingly, as the drivers paced themselves..  \nNeck-and-neck action in the corners; and high speeds on the straights was the order of the day..  \nThere were a couple of fiery wrecks which narrowly avoided flash mobs of spectators, but luckily their drivers were catapulted free, landing comfortably on deck-chairs beside the pool; Pina Colada on stand-by of course.. 􀀭  \n…and there was some very tight racing in the S-bend corner:  \nMice and Mystics – The fantasy adventure game where the players take the roles of heroes transformed into mice.. who must navigate the castle and defeat the plans of the evil queen!  \nOf course, although being mice allows the heroes to escape prisons meant to hold humans, it does present certain other unforeseen obstacles such as “climbing up onto a towering tabletop to retrieve a weapon”(aka sewing needle) only to find a bunch of rats (the evil queen’s guards transformed) waiting there to stop them..!  \nDue to the high level of interest in this game, we ran two simultaneous sessions!  \nThe story-telling elements in this game are m","cbCail9sO6XOrhC3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail9sO6XOrhC3","pdf",6667813,33,"English","# Wrap-Up Overview\n## Event Highlights and Thanks\n## Programme Scheduling Changes\n## Venue Adjustments\n## Game Round-Up","[{\"question\":\"How big was GameFest Brisbane 2015 and over what time period?\",\"answer\":\"GameFest Brisbane 2015 featured 58 hours of games over three days, from Friday night to Sunday lunchtime.\"},{\"question\":\"What notable shift happened in the 2015 game programme?\",\"answer\":\"The programme showed a stronger favouring of role-playing, tactical miniatures, horror themes, and experimentation with new game types.\"},{\"question\":\"Why were parallel sessions run for some games?\",\"answer\":\"High sign-up interest required parallel sessions or large groups to accommodate multiple tables for events like Mice and Mystics, Eldritch Horror, and Formula D.\"}]","GameFest 2015 Wrap-Up | PDF",1791344731,51]
