Featured Game: Mazes and Mahars!

Is it that time already? Today makes the final weekend of EPICon, and our final game release, an extra special blast from the past. No doubt some of you remember the playable demo of Mazes and Mahars that was available at EPICon 2010. Well, EPICon 2013 has another big announcement - unfortunately, production for Mazes and Mahars has been halted indefinitely, and the game likely won't be going into production.

JUST KIDDING! What kind of announcement would that make!? EPICon 2013, in partnership with our sponsor, Magicians of the Mesa, is proud to announce the full release of Mazes and Mahars!

What a way to end this year's convention! Be sure to collect your points from this much-anticipated game, as well as your bonus points from any of our previous games. You can earn 10 EPICon points for playing a single game of Mazes and Mahars (that's right, a single game), and an additional 10 bonus points for a win! Even better, for this last weekend you can play any combination of your favorite games to earn those 70 daily points. Knock yourself out!

If you're not too distracted by all of the glitzy foil cards, be sure to spare a vote for fellow con goers in the Cosplay Contest, but make sure you do so before the convention hall closes at midnight!

Once the weekend concludes, we'll be tallying the votes for the contest as well as all the EPICon points that you have collected from our games, and releasing some exciting prizes! Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming announcements.

I think I'm happy this is almost over. This game is long and I'm bad at it. ;)

If someone could either direct me to a tutorial, or could just shoot me a comment with instructions on how we're supposed to select cards, I would be eternally grateful ^_^;

Couldn't play this game last time but it sounds fun. Unfortunately I haven't had time to check out the last 2 games yet, not enough time. Hope it stays up for a while.

...Thank you!!! I never got to play this before but holy hell is it fun. It reminds me a lot of games like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. It took me a few turns to really get the hang of it but that padlock went down pretty quickly after. >=3

I think I am too stupid to understand this new game. I can't seem to be able to click anything beside 'continue game' and then it's my opponent's turn and I didn't do anything...?

So this is the first time playing M&M.... not doing too well XD It's interesting though!

Okay, I thought I didn't understand this game at all, but I only had to look something up in the rules once and I won my first game, so I guess I actually do.. (:

After so much hype and nostalgia comes a boring, overly long and confusing game. Even worse than Stealth Bomber during the lag...

I wasn't around for the previous Epicon, so I never played this game before.. I think I'll need to read the rules a dozen times for them to sink in, I'll keep them open in another tab for now.. Can you please add an option to play this full screen? cause I have a 5" screen with 1366x768 resolution and there is no way in hell I'll ever fit the whole game + the 'continue game' button in my browser screen at the same time. I have already hidden my taskbar and the game alone fills the entire height of my screen.

Thanks so much for Epicon....there are some games I didn't like, some I did but I enjoyed the thought of coming to Subeta and something new every day. You guys are wonderful!

Thank you so much for giving us 10 points a game :o And being able to play whatever we want with no restrictions!

- if you want to play Mazes and Mahars 7 times for your daily points, you can ;) Or play something else 70 times. Or.. do a mix. GO WILD :D

I've never heard of this game and even after reading the rules I can't win :(

Idgi- do we just have to play one game of Mazes and Mahars to max out on the "Required Score: Play" for that game then? So we just have to play one game and win one game? And then we can play any of the other games 60 times? Or we can just play Mazes and Mahars 7 times to max out completely for the day? xD is confused

I liked this epicon "game-marathon" marathon ALOT thank you very much for all the fun new and un-retired other games

it was great to see them all come back

some i was good in others a bit less - but like i said i enjoyed it !!! mostly because i could do them in my online time and as much as i could-was able to :):)

a restock war was always frustrating because you had to be online all the time and if lucky you didnt get a " this items is already sold " message rofl :) ) because the restock kings and queens where always quicker than me rofl :):)

thanks again for again something totaly different, interesting and fun twitch in a standard formula :) this way it never gets boring :):)

It helps to read the rules before you try the game. They aren't fabulous at explaining everything, but it gives you something to start with! So far I've played three games and won all of them. That earned me 40 epicon points right there, which makes me quite happy. ^_^ My wrists are getting tired from the games, and I'm avoiding the bug-swatting one!

Done. I'm never playing games again on this site after this weekend apart from the BC unless needed. This event really defined the meaning of the word "Overkill"

Hmmm... I was ready to commit playing this 10 times! I am so happy you guys are using this game to wrap up Epicon with. The only thing I think that would make this better would be the option to play as Mazes OR Mahars.

I love this game but why does it have to be sooooo slooooow!? sobs It's bad enough that the "Continue Game" button even exists - why can't we just get on with it automatically telling us what the Maze is doing already!? - but it takes about 5 seconds each page load for that button to appear! Never been so glad I have a widescreen monitor, so I can go watch videos or something in the other half of my screen while waiting and waiting for everything to load each turn.

Nvm, figured it out. It's double-click on the card, apparently.
