This year we are lucky to have a number of game designers who will be present to demo their games.

Game Description
The new century is upon us, and the 20th Century promises to be something great for the game of baseball. Across the eastern half of the United States the national pastime is taking shape. The leagues are settling into traditional formats that will remain unchanged for decades.
You are an owner of one of the charter franchises, a leader with the money and vision to grow the game into its modern form. Invest wisely – it is not only the team on the field that matters, but also the stadium, media, and fans that can set you up for success! This is not a baseball game simulation; this is a game about building a baseball dynasty. Your business savvy and skills will win the day.
Lords of Baseball is for 1-4 players (expandable to 6 or 8 and can even be expanded to 16 with two base games and 4 expansions). Lords of Baseball takes about 40 minutes per season to play. It is a card-driven strategy game that unfolds over multiple seasons (you can choose to play a short, medium, or long game).

King’s Coalition
Publisher: Play to Z
BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/335652/kings-coalition
Game Description
King’s Coalition is card drafting game for 2-5 players. The king needs the parliament to vote him taxes, and your job is to build the strongest coalition in your hand of 7 cards. The cards come in 8 asymmetric classes, from the numerous but weak peasants (all valued 1 or 2) to the few but strong nobility (all valued 7 or above). Each card counts its face value for scoring, but you also get bonuses for multiple cards of the same class or a run of 6 or more numbers regardless of class. In addition, variable bonuses appear during the game that give 10 to 30 points for different combinations of classes.
King’s Coalition is a highly interactive game that rewards strategic thinking. It plays in half an hour.
