Thanks in part to Double Exposure’s Envoy program we have a selection of Play to Win games at Nuke-Con this year!
Look for the Play-to-Win tables near the main entrance of the Ballroom. Any paid member can check out one of our Play to Win games and try it out at our Play to Win tables.
Brought to you by Richard Norton, Artemis is a cooperative spaceship bridge simulation game, where 2 to 11 players become the crew of a spaceship that you can fly from the comfort of your cushioned chair. Come and bring some friends to see the star captain experience!
Players can choose become the Bridge Captain, Navigation, Communication, Weapons Officer and more! All playing levels allowed. Check out more about Artemis here.
Nuke-Con wants you to come play your games with us because we don’t want to keep all the fun for ourselves. Pick your few favorites and then schedule your games here. Make sure you get them submitted by September 8 at 11:59 pm to get them into the schedule and the program book!
Don’t fret, it’s a full weekend of games so you have the time and space to plan game slots and still play games, too. Don’t forget to tell your friends!

We want the kiddos to have plenty of choices to pick from and enjoy themselves as much as the adults do and these events are designated “kid friendly”.
A few of the events we expect to see:
Floriferous : “Experience joy as you gather flowers from your garden and pair them with your cards!”
Monkey Palace (the Lego game) : “Rebuild a breathtaking palace for a community of monkeys.”
Solar Gardens : “Draft tiles to build a rooftop garden in harmony with nature.”
Many thanks to Katy Themm for putting this schedule together, and to the GM Kids who’re running other games throughout the weekend.
