The last season of a Game of Thrones may be over, but you don’t have to leave Westeros any time soon. A Song of Ice and Fire tabletop miniatures game by CMON will be making an appearance with up to 4 tables of wargaming goodness. With beautiful miniatures and an innovative tactical gaming system, choose your House, raise your bannermen, and take to the battlefield for the Iron Throne!
If high fantasy and a more skirmish scale game are more to your taste, there will be a Games Workshop’s Warhammer Underworlds (WHU) tournament for up to 10 players! WHU is easy to learn skirmish game played on a hex-grid board with card driven mechanics, that doesn’t take hours to play. Official trophy and swag are just among the prizes the players can expect to win!
The good couple from Starting Player will be demonstrating and tabling their new game, Race for the Chinese Zodiac, their second design after their first award-winning Three Kingdoms Redux, They had a successful Kickstarter this year with fulfilment around August, so this is your chance to try this game before most folks!
Star Wars Legion made its debut at WEG 2018 and we are glad to welcome the game back with a superb demonstration put up by dedicated players! Come down and see the unveiling of the Battle of Hoth table, a classic battle from The Empire Strikes Back film!
Role-playing games have gone from strength to strength and WEG is no stranger to RPGs. Counting at least 5 different tables of RPGs this year, there a module for anyone! From the evergreen Dungeons & Dragons, Dungeon Masters will be running Defiance in Phlan, an Adventurers League module great for beginners new to DnD.
Sunny Pair of Dice will also be running End of the World RPG, where you play a fictionalised version of yourself and play in as little time as 10mins! The setting was a hit at SOGCon 2018 and Sunny will be looking to draw more new players to the wonderful hobby of role-playing games.
