I have a small grip of new titles to try out at this years ManCabinAPlanCon:

 - While we are likely too old for this because of the lasting damage and downtime it would cause us all, I kickstarted DrunkQuest and received the game on New Year's Eve!  It's a fantasy themed drinking game where one player reveals a monster card that takes x many sips to defeat, then it goes around the table with other players playing effects on the card to increase, share, split the amount of sips, then the last player is left to play a card then either defeat the monster by taking all the sips and gaining levels and treasure (which are played on other players) or running away like a baby.  There are boss cards where everyone plays together and has to each take the number of sips, too.   I think we could do it and have some fun if we kept the sip sizes small.

 - Space Cadets - like a boardgame version of SpaceTeam where each role has a different sort of mini-game   that contributes to the overall mission - Engineering, Weapons, Shields, Helm, Captain, etc.  Sounds fun!

 - Star Wars: LCG - Looks fun!

 - X-Wing - played a few turns against myself and definitely see some potential for beer and pretzels sort of fun, with a twist of tactics and maneuver.

 - The Hobbit Card Game - a lil trick taking game with characters and damage

 - Cthulhu dark - a SUPER simplified rule system for running Cthulhu games.  Super simple like no combat rules, but a Fiasco like twist where you can force a player to try and fail if you think it would be more interesting to the story.  The time it would take to get started would be about 10 minutes.  Did I mention there are no character sheets?

Dreadball - Got my custom BB-esque board ready, and three starting teams painted up (sure, they are just BB teams, reappropriated, but still).

Dominant Species: The Card game - NOT AT ALL like the boardgame.  Played it a few times with Leslie and it was fun!  I think with 3+ players it will get more interesting, and even with 2 it was a good time.

A man a plan a mancon panama awaits!
