Where: Skybound Tabletop Booth #2438
What: Four exciting new tabletop games from Skybound on preview only for Gen Con attendees.
August 1: ContraBanter (Skybound Original)
The secret word is out! Can you catch it and collect the points? ContraBanter (awarded the Dice Tower Seal of Approval) is a team word-smuggling game where the gift of gab and a poker face (and voice) are the keys to victory. Each team has three secret words to try and say each round. The opposing team will ask a question or use a prompt card to get the conversation going, and then the hunt is on! Your team will have 90 seconds to talk about anything and everything while sneaking your secret words into the mix. But beware! If your opponent’s catch on to the subterfuge in your soliloquys, they have three chances to stop the clock and confiscate any secret words they guess correctly. Your team gets points for smuggling your words past your opponents and correctly guessing the secret words they try to smuggle past you. Whichever team has the most points after three rounds, wins!
August 2: Creepshow
Welcome to Creepshow, a wicked story-building card game where players become Creeps and weave twisted tales of dastardly deviants meeting well-earned demises. You’ll need strategy and cunning for this story-rich card game, and to know when to push your luck because deception could be waiting at every turn.
August 3: Ultimate Dibs
Ultimate Dibs is an area control team party game where your team is trying to connect categories one-at-a-time by calling dibs on things that match in the grid. Tokens are placed on the cards to indicate who is currently in control. If the opposing team disagrees, a vote is taken to uphold that spot. If the active team loses the challenge, their turn immediately ends. The goal is to lock in three spaces orthogonally or diagonally before the other team to win the game.
August 4: Sheep in Disguise
Sheep in Disguise is a strategic card game about protecting helpless sheep from being devoured by the many dangerous predators. Your goal is to collect flocks of sheep, keep them safe from attacks, and use action cards to destroy anyone that gets in the way.
Be strategic and be devious. If you play your cards right, you can turn the Attack card into an extremely powerful tool to help you get ahead… otherwise, you may end up as the victim. If you find yourself falling behind, don’t worry! All players are in it until the very end and one big move is all it takes to flip the whole game on its head!
