Den of Wolves (Saturday)

In this Battlestar Galatica-inspired megagame, a small fleet of interstellar starships balance survival, politics, and military challenges as they try to stay one step ahead of their pursuers.

It is the 27th Century. After a catastrophic attack on humanity, one battlecruiser and a smattering of civilian vessels must fight to survive and maintain order as they flee from their pursuers. 'Den of Wolves' is a game about difficult political, military and survival choices in a long-term crisis scenario. Players will take on the roles of starship captains, officers, and engineers, as well as specialists, politicians, and military personnel. The game has a focus on managing resources, as well as various units and assets – however, talking and negotiating with other players will be crucial in order to achieve success. After touring a number of board game conventions, Midwest Megagames is proud to present this modern megagame classic in their home [lake]waters of Minneapolis.

Den of Wolves is a modern classic by John Mizon and plays up to 43 players.  The rules are mechanically driven but easy to understand (about the complexity level of Settlers of Catan) and flexible enough to allow for fun narrative gameplay.

Players will be assigned specific roles in the game closer to the date of the game. Feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, clarifications, or requests to Peter at petenixon1@gmail.com.

This is the first of a pair of megagame Den of Wolves events that will occur on the same weekend.  This Saturday game will last longer and will be aimed at a slightly more serious crowd. The Friday event will cater towards more casual gamers or first-time megagame players.
