Board Game Demo - Arboretum
2024-06-01 11:00 - 14:00 (Asia/Shanghai) | Comic Quest, 23811 Bridger #111 CA 92630, Lake Forest, CA, 92630, United States
FREE Demo: Arboretum

Saturday June 1. 11am – 2pm
Comic Quest is providing FREE demos of a fun board game. Learn in a couple of minutes, it might be your next favorite game.

Arboretum is a strategy card game for 2-4 players, aged 10 and up, that combines set collection, tile-laying and hand management while playing in about 25 minutes. Players try to have the most points at the end of the game by creating beautiful garden paths for their visitors.
The deck has 80 cards in ten different colors, with each color featuring a different species of tree; each color has cards numbered 1 through 8, and the number of colors used depends on the number of players. Players start with a hand of seven cards. On each turn, a player draws two cards (from the deck or one or more of the discard piles), lays a card on the table as part of her arboretum, then discards a card to her personal discard pile.
When the deck is exhausted, players compare the cards that remain in their hands to determine who can score each color. For each color, the player(s) with the highest value of cards in hand of that color scores for a path of trees in her arboretum that begins and ends with that color; a path is a orthogonally adjacent chain of cards with increasing values. For each card in a path that scores, the player earns one point; if the path consists solely of trees of the color being scored, the player scores two points per card. If a player doesn’t have the most value for a color, she scores zero points for a path that begins and ends with that color. Whoever has the most points wins.

When do we play?

Wednesdays, 7-9pm
at Comic Quest (http://comicquest.org/)

How does this work?

Hello! We play D&D 5e on Wednesday nights, 7-9 pm, in-person at Comic Quest in Lake Forest. If you are looking to join one of CQ’s Wednesday night D&D 5e groups, here’s what you need to know.
First, join our Discord Server, which is the primary way that we organize and discuss regularly scheduled D&D groups and events. ** Once there, please look at Start Here for general information. Link to our Discord server: https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD
No experience with D&D is required, but different tables and DMs may have preferences. If you are interested in learning how to play there are “learn to play” sessions approximately once a month.
Our games are frequently full. Whether there is room at any given table changes week to week, so you have to post a message on the channel of any table you think you might be interested in to see if there are currently openings, as priority goes to regularly attending players. Some tables have PINNED information about their campaigns (click on the push-pin looking icon on the top ribbon of each campaign). Also, we often run a 1-shot table which is open to new players.
Facebook Group
What do I need to play?
Please check in with the DM of the table/game you are joining for these details, but some helpful items:

A character sheet (either your own or the pre-generated)
A writing utensil (Pencil, Pen)
Appropriate dice for your character
Appropriate source material for your character (basic book, Players Handbook, ability cards, whatever floats your boat)
A miniature (optional, but helpful)

We also have a Discord server: https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD](https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD?fbclid=IwAR3KLXW32PY__0KkFJjOwkw0HKpYYQMb-Cgr5HUSvDvXbl-SMZOmS0uaKXo)

Towel Day
2024-05-25
May 25th is known as “Towel Day” and celebrates the work of Douglas Adams. Fans carry around a towel due to a passage in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (and an earlier reference in the preceding radio series) that praises the versatility of towels for interstellar hitchhikers. May 25th doesn’t have any particular meaning in the fandom (FYI, the anniversary of the first radio broadcast is March 8th), the anniversary of the death of Douglas Adams is a few weeks earlier and it took time to set up the first Towel Day.

Below are some of the summaries of the tables and some hints with their missions for the event.
Duel of the fates: The time has come to fight. There are many platforms that will cause very unorthodox combat and even closer than some armies would prefer. But the unexpected activation of ray shields might change someone’s movement or force two units to fight. This table will have many height differences and platforms with the mission being fighting heroes and killing them for points.
Pod Racing: Start your engines, as you must compete against your opponent to move your pod racer through the track as fast as possible and make it to the finish line. But watch out as the other pod racers might get in your path to stop you from victory. This is a canyon based table where you will move your podracer around the track to finish the course before your opponent.
The Senate Floor: I love democracy, as the true fighting is fought in the senate. Have your voice be heard as you have representatives speak their mind and “vote’ on current matters that can impact your game AND other games around you. Units with a political background will have a bigger impact here. This table will have many key locations that will control who gets to vote on the issues at the end of the round and whoever controls the chancellor’s seat in the center has the emergency powers to control the game.
Great Grass Plains: The battle has been brought to Theed. Fight in open warfare. The defenders have a mighty Famba that creates a shield that protects your units but the attackers’ mighty onslaught will keep coming. Who will hold out longer? This table is an attack and defend style mission where each side will have advantage to gain the upper hand on the battlefield as they fight to the death.
Naboo Swamps: Trek through the swamps of Naboo after just landing on the planet. Find your forces and quickly get your bearings as the swamp is unforgiving. Some humble servants might be found in these swamps to assist you as a guide but the terrain itself is very rough.” This table has many terrain aspects that will affect units that are unprepared for the harsh environment. If they units can regroup and await a signal from command they will be able to win the day.

Eliza Doolittle Day
2024-05-20
Eliza Doolittle Day is celebrated on May 20th, based on a line from the song “Just You Wait” in the 1956 Broadway musical My Fair Lady. In the song, the character Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl, imagines the king saying “Next week on the twentieth of May, I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day”

Board Game Demo - Goblin Vaults
2024-05-18 11:00 - 14:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
FREE Demo: Goblin Vault
Saturday May 18. 11am – 2pm
Comic Quest is providing FREE demos of a fun board game. Learn in a couple of minutes, it might be your next favorite game.

In the dark corners of Kulbak Prison, away from the prying eyes of the construct guards, inmates play a game of Goblin Vaults in secret…
Goblin Vaults is a strategy card game for 1-5 players featuring bidding, card placement, and scoring patterns. In the game, you wager cards to win loot from the central cell block, then stash that loot wisely in your vault, earning gears based on the position of cards within that vault. You can also gain gears from scoring objectives that change each game.
With cunning and clever scheming, make your bid to be feared amongst your peers! You’ll need wits and luck to play your cards right as you fill your vault and influence the warden in your favor. After nine rounds, whoever has the most gears wins!
