Preliminary Program Grid for Perrianne Lurie

This is the Preliminary program schedule. Perrianne Lurie may or may not actually be on these items, but probably will. However, due to circumstances beyond our control, modifications to the program can occur throughout the convention.

Friday 3:00 pm: FOREST SHUFFLE Demo (Ends at: 3:55 pm) Truman
Participants:Perrianne Lurie (M)
In Forest Shuffle, players compete to gather the most valuable trees, then attract species to these trees, thus creating an ecologically balanced habitat for flora and fauna. To start, each player has six cards in hand, with cards depicting either a particular type of tree or two forest dwellers (animal, plant, mushroom, etc.), with these latter cards being divided in half, whether vertically or horizontally, with one dweller in each card half. On a turn, either draw two cards — whether face down from the deck or face up from the clearing — and add them to your hand, or play a card from your hand by paying the cost, then putting it into play. During set-up, three winter cards were placed into the bottom third of the deck. When the third winter card is drawn, the game ends immediately, then players tally their points based on the trees and dwellers in their forest. Whoever scores the most points wins.
Friday 7:00 pm: Streaming SFF Discussion (Ends at: 7:55 pm) Jackson
Participants:Perrianne Lurie (M)
Let’s meet to discuss our favorite streaming SFF shows of 2024.
Friday 8:00 pm: Fix the Hugos (Ends at: 8:55 pm) Jackson
Participants:Brick Barrientos, Michael Capobianco, Perrianne Lurie (M), Jennifer R. Povey
There have been several controversies over the years. There have been emergency fixes and overreactions. What should be done to fix some of the long-term issues? Or should they just be left alone?
Saturday 10:30 am: HOLOTYPE Demo (Ends at: 12:25 pm) Truman
Participants:Perrianne Lurie (M)
A fast-paced light-strategy worker placement board game about paleontology for 2-5 players. Players use their Paleontologist, Grad Student and Field Assistant workers to gather fossils, do research and publish new Dinosaurs and Marine Reptiles as Holotypes. Personal and semi-collaborative Global Objectives feature modern paleontology concepts such as cladistics and taxonomy. The player with the most Victory Points from publishing Holotypes, completing Personal Objectives and contributing to Global Objectives wins.
Saturday 3:00 pm: Local Clubs, Conventions, and Events (Ends at: 3:55 pm) Monroe
Participants:Sarah Avery (M), Cathy Green, Morgan Hazelwood, Ingeborg Heyer, Perrianne Lurie
They may not have a fan table, but you can still learn about some local organizations and events. 
Sunday 1:30 pm: DRAFTOSAURUS Demo (Ends at: 2:25 pm) Truman
Participants:Perrianne Lurie (M)
Your goal in Draftosaurus is to have the dino park most likely to attract visitors. To do so, you have to draft dino meeples and place them in pens that have some placement restrictions. Each turn, one of the players roll a die and this adds a constraint to which pens any other player can add their dinosaur. Draftosaurus is a quick and light drafting game in which you don't have a hand of cards that you pass around (after selecting one), but a bunch of dino meeples in the palm of your hand.
