UberCon V - New Jersey : Games & Events : Tabletop / Board Games

More, more, more! Ubercon V will feature more of your favorite boardgames, more new boardgames, more thrilling tournaments, and more hidden gems that you're sure to love.

Our tournaments will be bigger and better than ever! The winner of our Settlers of Catan tournament will automatically qualify for the semifinals of the East Coast championship at Gen Con, and have an opportunity to represent the United States at the Catan Championships in Essen, Germany!

Don't miss our other tournaments. The winner of our Ticket to Ride tournament will qualify for the National Championship at Gen Con. We will also be running tournaments for Munchkin, Puerto Rico, Memoir '44, and Lunch Money.

You don't have to enter a tournament to have a good time. If you know Settlers of Catan, Puerto Rico, Munchkin, Illuminati, or Apples to Apples, you'll have no problem finding opponents. If you really like Settlers of Catan, try out the variants and expansions we offer. Some of them are only minor tweaks to the game, while others are radical departures from the original.

Try out a new game like Gloom, Stupiduel, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Reef Encounter, Kung-Fu Fighting, Doom: The Boardgame, or Boomtown. Challenge yourself with intense strategy games like A Game of Thrones, Age of Steam, Goa, One False Step for Mankind, or Diplomacy. Or try out a game you might not usually get to play, whether they're out of print games like Robo Rally, La Citta, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or overseas games like Schrille Stille and Falsche FuFFziger. You'll have a great time with whatever you choose!

Age of Steam by Winsome Games Age of Steam by Winsome Games
Go back to the late 19th century with this challenging and highly regarded rail game. Set in the Great Lakes area, players compete to lay track and ship goods to gain income. The real star of the game is the brutally difficult financial system. Will you rule the rails, or will you be forced into bankruptcy?

Players are called upon to select a red apple card from their hand with the name of a person, place, thing or event which they think is best characterized by the word on a randomly drawn green apple card.

Betrayal at House On the Hill by Avalon Hill Betrayal at House On the Hill by Avalon Hill
You slip into the haunted house with a few of your friends. Perhaps you’re looking for a thrill, or perhaps you had something else in mind... This game has been a favorite during the last few Ubercons, so we’re happy to bring it back! The players explore the haunted house until the game forces one of the players to betray the others. The game then ends in one of 50 wildly different scenarios! This game positively drips with theme (and hopefully nothing more) with its spooky gameplay and compelling twists.

Goa by Rio Grande Games Goa by Rio Grande Games
Portugal established the colony of Goa in India in 1510. Five centuries later, you can live the life of a wealthy Portuguese merchant in Rüdiger Dorn’s highly acclaimed game. It’s not easy; you will have to juggle taxation, ship construction, spice making, and colonization. All the while, you and your opponents jockey for upgrades through a clever auction mechanism.

Illuminati by Steve Jackson Games Illuminati by Steve Jackson Games
They're all around us. Secret conspiracies are everywhere, and where can you find the only truth? Certainly not in the game of Illuminati. Fnord. The phone company is controlled by creatures from outer space. The Congressional Wives have taken over the Pentagon. And the Boy Sprouts are cashing in their secret Swiss bank account to smash the IRS! Two to six players compete to grab powerful groups and increase their wealth and power. No ploy is too devious, no stratagem too low, as you scheme your way to victory.

Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run. Admit it. You love it. This award-winning card game, designed by Steve Jackson, captures the essence of the dungeon experience . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. You and your friends compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic items! Don the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff of Napalm . . . or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up to the Plutonium Dragon . .
