Plumes, Trains and Allegoricals! / by Norma Gallien

2020 ISN'T ALL BAD--WE PROMISE!!

It has been a tough year. Life as we know it changed. Our health, families, jobs, finances, sense of community, and so much more have been in crisis. We have suffered losses and hardships that are sobering. At the same time as we acknowledge this, we also know that we are privileged and remain grateful, even without any events this year. We are hopeful for a return in 2021 (tl;dr: we're hoping for the weekend of Pax 2021), and have included more details about that at the end of this message. However, the main purpose of THIS email is to CELEBRATE A SUCCESS STORY from 2020. Calliope Games, our number one sponsor, and without whom FTW Events would not exist, has put together a new game lineup that is impressive, even by their standards. They've done it all in spite of the pandemic, and we are therefore proud to partner with them in presenting to you...

Celebrate an evening packed with excitement and fun challenges for all! During your game night, you’ll build peacock plumes of vivid colors!  You’ll cooperate to construct a transit system and deliver commuters home. And in tales of epic lore, you’ll bid to win, but may lose if you do! And, if you act fast, you can get ALL THREE OF THESE GAMES for just 40 bucks!

Allegory

An allegory tells a captivating story while hiding a deeper, meaningful moral underneath. In the game of Allegory, you’ll compete with others as renowned authors, each scribing a trilogy of Tales: Nature, Energy, and Spirit. Master the use of Lore to incorporate powerful Themes into your Tales. At the end, you will be rewarded for weaving a hidden Moral throughout all of your Tales—but only the most concise Tale shall become a literary classic for the ages!

  • Unique twist on auction/ bidding games

Enchanted Plumes

In Enchanted Plumes, players strive to complete magical Peacocks by assembling plumes in sparkling rows from top to bottom, using multiple colors of Feather cards while matching cards of the same color from row to row.

The player with the most valuable plumes wins the game and is bestowed with the luck of the Peacock!

Mass Transit

It’s quittin’ time in the Big City, and rush hour is about to begin! It’s up to you and your team of urban planners to get all these Commuters home to their families. You will need to skillfully work together to construct transit routes out to the Suburbs, but City Hall bureaucracy limits how much you can help each other! If you can manage the red tape, and your team works like a well-oiled machine in getting everyone home, you will ALL succeed at Mass Transit!
