Come visit your Uncle Atom and play all kinds of fun tabletop wargames! Not a tournament-based event, but an event to learn new games, play fun multiplayer wargames, meet like-minded players, and learn new things.

During this fourth? Maybe fifth? annual event, you’ll be able to play miniatures games and demos, home-brewed rules, narrative games, and more. There’ll be some teaching seminars, too – in theory! And daily door prizes!

The event is held on the campus of the University Wisconsin Oshkosh and there’s plenty of restaurants and bars right across the street for your enjoyment. There will probably be some activities after the game hall closes on Saturday night.

Saturday badge: $15, Sunday badge: $10, Weekend badge: $25 (you get two extra door prize tickets!)
Tickets will be available at the door.

Event Title: Japanime Tactics – Granblue
When: Sunday, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Game System: Japanime Tactics
Description: Japanime Tactics features modular terrain boards, premium acrylic character standees, and gameplay centered around hand management with cards associated with player’s favorite Anime characters. Japanime Tactics will initially launch with Granblue Fantasy by Cygames as its flagship intellectual property for this new product line.

The initial launch will feature two distinct character sets from Granblue Fantasy in addition to 12 expansion characters available in booster box displays. Each booster box will contain 12 unique characters and a singular booster box will give players all 12 expansion characters. Each booster has a chance to include premium foiled cards that do not impact gameplay beyond appearance.

Japanime Tactics was inspired by a love of Final Fantasy Tactics and other turn-based tactical JRPGs that helped to make such a great, creative game style. To capture that essence, Japanime Tactics needed to be less of a game in its own right, but rather a system with which other IPs could neatly rest and be used to combat an opponent. Japanime Tactics features a robust 1v1 skirmish-style gameplay centered around modular terrain boards and a set of basic objectives. Each player will field up to four characters per team to see which team comes out on top! In the near future, these teams could even be comprised of characters from multiple IPs to make your own personal dream team!

This game will be released by Japanime Games later this year.
