What would MeepleCon be without meeples? Con I guess?
Following on from last year’s Mystery Meeple tournament (and with some lessons learned), we present the Mystery Meeple Tournament 2017. Which games will be involved? Well it wouldn’t be much of a mystery if we told you. But they do have meeples in them.
Mysterium

You are a group of investigators called in by a real estate agent who is trying to sell a haunted house. They need the house de-ghosted by next week. So put on your sleeping caps because the ghost needs to tell you what happened in the house (and to them) via dreams.
If your team of investigators can work out what happened before the end of the week, the poor ghost will be able to move on to the afterlife and be free.
Eight Minute Empire Legends Speedclock
from 6pm
Making it’s return is Eight Minute Empire Legends Speed Clock. Play it like it should be played, fast and brutal. Each player has their own time ticking away, so they need to take their turn quickly, because if you run out of time before your last move, you loose.
Dead of Winter

When you have to rely on your fellow humans to survive the winter after civilization has fallen, keep your eyes open.

You’ll get points for each card you add to the mix, a bonus point if the colour of the card isn’t already in the mix and another point if you control the mix. But be careful as the other team may attempt to drop your cards out of the mix.
There’s also a co-op party game mode where players try to fulfil the requests of the audience as fast as possible.
