Oh and series two is coming out soon! (Rumor has it series two will be available on Sunday of our convention. Not sure if they will have it for sale at Mythic Con or not, but never hurts to ask!)

Luck Factory Games

Our first stop along our game store tour is Luck Factory Games. They have LOTS of games you can play! And a selection of games you can purchase!
Luck Factory Games is located in Gibson Mill Market at 305 McGill Ave. N.W., Suite 80, in Concord, NC 28027. (Tuna says it is a really cool place!)

Luck Factory Games was founded in 2021 on the simplicity of fun, good vibes and connection with others. They strive to create an environment where all skill levels of gamers are welcome and encouraged to meet new challenges, make new memories and enjoy some down time with good people. If you don’t know how to play, they’ll teach you. If you don’t have a game group, they’ll help you find one…and offer you some tasty snacks while you play. Yum! Snacks!

In addition to small groups, they also host private parties and events up to 30 people. Go to their website and reserve your table!

Buzz City Games

What do you get when you combine an old bank building with lots of games and puzzles? Buzz City Games! They are located in an old bank building at 4 Union St N in downtown Concord, NC 28025. They still have the big bank vault! (There's a smaller one tucked into a corner by the window as well.)

Buzz City Games has almost everything a gamer could want. Tables to play at, restrooms, refreshments, tons of board games, D&D stuff, RPG stuff, Warhammer stuff, puzzles and squishables! (They were smart and didn't put any beds in there otherwise the gamers would never leave!)

They will help you sell your used games and will give you $5 store credit if you bring back a puzzle you bought from them! (They do have some fun puzzles.) Go check them out. Event calendars and other info can be found on their Facebook page.

Oh and Richard wanted to mention that parking can be a little tricky the first time you drop by. Because they are in downtown, there's not a lot of street parking, but there is a parking garage a block away that is free! (He prefers the parking garage because you don't have to parallel park! :P)

Rebel Base Comics & Toys

Next we highlight a gamer friendly store! Rebel Base Comics & Toys has been a Charlotte staple since 1994. They are located at 701 S Sharon Amity Rd in Charlotte, NC. You will need to head downstairs to find them. (When Karen goes she likes to pretend she's visiting a fellow nerd in their mom's basement. But this is waaay cooler than any mom's basement she's ever been in.)

Rebel Base has an amazing amount of collectibles and they are stocked from floor to ceiling with cool stuff. They also travel to comic conventions, so you may have seen them at Charlotte Comic Con.

Go check out them out! More information and events can be found on their Facebook page.

The Mighty Meeple

This game store is well known in the north side of Charlotte, The Mighty Meeple! If you haven't gone by there, you are missing out. (And no, living on the south side isn't an excuse! 😛 Expand your world! Go north!)

As they are hosting all kinds of tournaments (MTG, 40K, Age of Sigmar, MCP and more), they have a laaaarge play space. We haven't gone in and measured, but we think it may be larger than the actual store? Why you may ask? Because the Mighty Meeple believes in supporting the gamer community. And gamers need space! And check out the refreshments they have while you are there, you won't be disappointed.

Go check the store out at 8440 Pit Stop Ct. in Concord, NC! Its past Concord Mills and on the right.

Check out their Facebook page for events, releases and more.

Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find

Heroes Aren't Hard To Find is the next store we are highlighting. Located at 417 Pecan Ave in Charlotte, Heroes has been a Charlotte staple since 1980! While you won't find any games at Heroes, you will find a huge selection of comics and comic related items. (Nick thinks most of us can agree there is a large overlap of comic lovers and gamers!) Go check them out!

Heroes Aren't Hard to Find also hosts their own convention: Heroes Con! Heroes Con is happening June 14-16, 2024 at the Charlotte Convention Center. Mark your calendars, tickets will be going on sale soon!

You can find more info, including a list of all the cons they are attending, on their webpage.

Comic Monstore

Next store we are highlighting is Comic Monstore! They are located north east of Charlotte at 813 Jake Alexander Blvd S in Salisbury, NC.

How often do you get to play a game in a dungeon themed room?!?!? Comic Monstore has comics, toys, games, gaming accessories, and cards! But they have gone one step further, they have rented the space next door and converted it into dungeon themed gaming rooms! Seriously, you HAVE to check this out! Grab your gaming group and go make a day of it! (Just make sure you leave the bathroom spotless, or the dragon will NOT be happy.)

(Tuna's wallet wants to warn you all about the 50% off table in the back. It is much lighter after Tuna discovered the table.)

Don't forget to check out their Facebook page as well!

Victory Point

Next on our game store tour is Victory Point Game Store in Gastonia! They are located at 2212 Union Rd Suite 600 in Gastonia, NC 28054. Victory Point has to be one of the cleanest game stores we've ever been in! Its so well organized that they don't use the GW stands for their paints, they have their own rack that matches the rest of the store!

One thing to definitely look for while you are there — their dice display. They have high end dice displayed like jewelry on nice stair stepped stands in their glass cabinet. Definitely worth a look and taking one or two for a roll.

They host a lot of card tournaments in the adjoining gaming room. Be sure to check out their calendar on their facebook page.

Your Local Game Store

Today we highlight Your Local Game Store. YLGS is a Charlotte staple for those who live on the east side of Charlotte. If you don't live on the east side, then head to the east side and drop in! They are located at 6908 Matthews-Mint Hill Rd #350 in Mint Hill, NC.

Are you like us and don't have a good place to host a game? Would you like to have a private room to run your game in? YLGS has got you covered! They have several PRIVATE rooms you can reserve (see their webpage for more info)!

They have board games, RPGs, Magic and other card games, Games Workshop products, dice and other things that you didn't know you needed. (Trust us, you NEEEEED them!)

Oh! And if you are looking for a game and don't mind it being used, check out their consignment area. There's some good deals there. (Or if you want, sell something that has been collecting dust on your shelves!)

You can find events on their Facebook page.

Demo Update!

Posted on October 9, 2023October 17, 2023 by Mythic Con

Unyielding Universe

2-4 players attempt to make long and beautiful lifelines. They achieve this by drawing "Year" cards and then placing them within their lifeline chronologically, either by adding them at the end or replacing them. All the while the Universe will try to make their lives more challenging and complex. "Universe" cards that add a scoring adjustment or a gameplay modifier will be drawn, or "Life Complete" cards will be drawn and wreak havoc on your lifeline, not allowing you to play cards past a certain age.

The goal is to score the most points at the end of the round. Scoring factors in the length of your lifeline as well as the quality of your lifeline.

Life is challenging and it is up to us to try and make the best of it, even if we must spite the Universe to do so.

Four Horsemen: the Omega Wars

In 2025, aliens make first contact with Earth. They've arrived hoping to find a rich new source of resources or advanced technological trading partners. After all, they've detected deep space probes and evidence of space travel. Needless to say they're disappointed

Now 100 years later, humanity has made a name for itself as tenacious and resourceful mercenaries. Unable to face most aliens hand to claw, they've developed powered combat armor known as CASPers, Combat Assault Systems Personal. These 8 foot tall, half ton combat suits have given humanity a serious edge, and the aliens are tired of it.

In a carefully coordinated plot, Earth has been invaded, and the human merc armies fled in order to survive. With Earth occupied, the Omega War is underway. The future of Earth, her few tiny colonies and all of our people's lives are at the stake. This is the Omega War

The Four Horsemen: Omega War is a tactical, strategic and operational competitive card game for two to four players set in the Four Horsemen literary universe created by Chris Kennedy and Mark Wandrey. It is a brutal struggle for power that rewards both careful planning and bold execution as you assume the role of a Commander for one of the various factions.

Restoration Games’ Return to Dark Tower

And just for fun, Clarion Games be bringing and running Restoration Games’ Return to Dark Tower too!

For an age, the tower lay in ruins. Unbeknownst to the people of the realm, a great evil stirred in its bowels. It started with strange sightings: a flock of crows flying in circles until they dropped from the sky, the lake frozen solid in the height of summer. In time, they could not deny that which they most feared.

The evil had not been vanquished. The darkness would soon fall again. The tower will rise.

A "sequel" to the 1981 grail game, Return to Dark Tower is a game for 1-4 players who take the role of heroes. Together, they gather resources, cleanse buildings, defeat monsters, and undertake quests to build up their strength and discern what foe ultimately awaits them. When the heroes face the tower, the game shifts into its dramatic second act, where the players have one chance to defeat the enemy once and for all.

The game features both cooperative and competitive modes of play.

The game features traditional game mechanisms, such as engine building and resource management, paired with a technological interface unlike any seen before in games, including the titular tower, which holds more than a few secrets.

Rocket Fire: A Space Exploration Board Game

A competitive family "turns base" dice and card game for 2 to 4 players. In Rocket Fire, the goal is to become the first player with six or more rockets ready to launch into outer space.

Fuel the Fire

Undermine other players and give yourself explosive advantages with Power Cards. After resolving dice rolls and with enough chips, players can take control of the game using as many power cards in their hands as they can afford.

Still, everyone starts somewhere, and these actions can’t just be used right away. The first round differs as each players prepares their strategy and their hand with the resources available at the start of the game. However, for every round after the first, the gloves are off, and the scheming begins!

Eyes to the Skies

Though creating setbacks for other players can be fun, don’t lose sight of your ultimate goal: becoming the innovator that sends six or more rockets into the endless web of space and discovering all of its secrets.

TROSS

Tournament Saturday

Twice Alive Games is bringing back TROSS. TROSS is Viking chess/checkers. But unlike usual checkers, the objective is not to eliminate your opponent's pieces, but to humiliate by capturing their throne. It’s about the throne, not the pawns. Send the enemy home cowering and dishonored! TROSS is Norwegian meaning “to spite”. You must cleverly outwit your opponent without completely eliminating their pieces. You might have to spite your own pieces to do so.

The listing is for one complete handmade game including the canvas scroll game board featuring rustic stained wood ends, attached with sturdy brass nails and a red stained, wooden box with screen printed TROSS logo. All 20 wooden cube pieces are also hand-stained and are contained in a handy burlap drawstring bag. Game instructions also included.

Your TROSS game board can also be wall hung and displayed as the work of art that it is via the attachment on the back upper wooden end. The game is available with red stained wood ends. The game storage box and wood ends are stained red.

Recommended for ages 8+. Please be advised that small cube game pieces may be a choking hazard for young children. You can pick up TROSS on their website.

Trash Dash

Find some time to go experience Trash Dash. (The critters you can play are sooooo cuuuuuutttttteeee!) Who knew playing with trash could be so fun? (Hint: Karen's cat, Karen's cat knows)

Trash Dash is a fast paced racing card game in which 2-6 players are trash animals competing to be the quickest critter on the streets! Racing laps around an alleyway may seem straightforward enough, but when you’re up against the most mischievous trash animals from across the city you’ll need to stay sharp!

Every game of Trash Dash is filled with playful conflict as the litter critters use their special abilities and hand of Action cards to mess with the other racers. Balancing the tension of that conflict are moments of sudden excitement when a player takes the lead with a well timed Trash card combo or when a player’s risky gamble is rewarded with that perfect roll of the Burst dice! To win on these streets you’ll have to be speedy, savvy, and a little bit scrappy!
