First in this week: Zapotec, you build temples, cornfields, and villages in the three valleys surrounding the capital to generate resources needed for building pyramids, making sacrifices to the gods, and performing rituals. Next in Golem, players take on the role of rabbis who create and grow these powerful creatures that will be moved around the neighborhoods of Prague under the control of students. Be careful, because if a Golem becomes too powerful, it will destroy everything it encounters on its way. Finally, Drinking Quest, like a typical Role-Playing Game, you have a character sheet, roll for saving throws, fight monsters and find treasure BUT when your character dies in this game you must chug your drink in real life! It adds a real level of tension and excitement to the battles. Everything matters.
