PAX East

Andy will be in the Foam Brain Games demo area all weekend. Come by and play a game with him!

PAX East is all about video games, board games, music, fun, fandoms, panels, and being yourself with people who are like you. Hundreds of people who are like you. Yay!

Book Con

Kristin and Andy will have a booth where they will be demonstrating our games, signing autographs, and selling our full line of products to book lovers throughout the land. We'd love to teach you how to play Fairy Tale Fluxx or Nanofictionary. Or maybe you'd like a hilarious round of Mad Libs: The Game or Adult Mad Libs: The Game!

BookCon is the event where storytelling and pop culture collide. Experience the origin of the story in all its forms by interacting with the authors, publishers, celebrities and creators of content that influence everything we read, hear, and see. BookCon is an immersive experience that features interactive, forward thinking content including Q&As with the hottest talent, autographing sessions, storytelling podcasts, special screenings, literary quiz shows and so much more. BookCon is the ultimate celebration of books, where your favorite stories come to life.

Gen Con

Looney Labs will again have a tiny booth where they will be taking meetings, demoing their latest games, and selling a few Looney things!

Gen Con is known as "the best four days in gaming," and with good reason! With over 500 exhibitors and 19,000 events, it's no wonder that over 60,000 people flock to this event to play and see their friends! There's nothing quite like it... one of those bucket list kind of events for gamers.

A:  When I built my first prototype for this game, I picked an initial slate of 24 events in a fairly arbitrary, off-the-top-of-my-head fashion. I chose a lot of the same big important events I’d featured on the Timeline for my original time travel game, Chrononauts, such as the Titanic, the Hindenburg, WW2, even 9-11. Such events provided me with very easy and symbolic imagery to start with.

For several years, as this game rattled around in my prototype bag waiting for its chance at production, I gave little thought to what the final choices for those 24 events should be; I figured we’d hammer that out when the time came.

It turns out that very few of the events I’d originally chosen would make it into the final version. Since we’re a bunch of peace-lovin’ hippies, we decided to reduce the focus on wars, disasters, and violence. While it made sense to focus on such events in my other games, which allow players to use time travel to change and undo such calamities, that’s not what’s going on in Time Breaker.

Instead, we decided to focus on achievements, discoveries, and milestones. We wanted to choose events that would be fun to imagine traveling to, and which might just teach a few things about the significant events in the process.

In business since 1990, Castle Perilous Games & Books is the largest tabletop gaming store in southern Illinois and the quad-state region and one of the largest in the Midwest. They stock every variety of in-print Fluxx and other Looney Labs games, as well as a number of out of production versions.
