Featured Game: Mazes and Mahars!

August 9, 2013 1:55 am

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.

You don't drag the card you want to play you just click it. Don't worry I did that too at first LOL.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

May I ask though...how do I present my move? I guess I have to drag my card somewhere, but where? Nothing I try seems to work.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And so. I shall return to being suckered in by Mobage's tcg annnnddd ...' I suck at card games that kind of resemble Yugioh or Pokemon or whatever okay. My head kin of hurts from just seeing those cards laid out. XwX This does seem fun though...if I can get my arse off my smartphone.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

uh how do we move? o_O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Never mind, I figured it out.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I won on my second attempt. I guess I was lucky enough to have the sugary sweetness and swipe cards in my hand at the same time while the maze was low on HP.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I would just like to say that I like that I got 20 points for playing this twice (because I lost the first time and wanted those bonus!)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Haha, that was fun. Yay for only needing to win one game to get all 20pts though since a game can take a while :D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You can't do any combination though D: I love Tubular Tiles so I wanted to play that for my points but can still only submit 10 games. Will this be changed? Guess I'll have to do the other games instead. Shame, I didn't want to seashell my points.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

my only suggestion is I wish we could play on the mazes side. using guardians w/ traps sounds infinitely more fun than the myriad of support cards we have to use

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i'm so confused :|

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm meaning on like, do we click on something or use the keyboard? Everything I'm trying to do isn't working. Just keeps telling me what the cards are every time I mouse over them... /:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eh, not sure how I feel about people playing 60x-70x seashell spotter (depending on if they play the bonus) to max out for the day having the same point total as people who diversify and spend a longer time on games. xD But eh. We'll see, I guess. Yay for M&M. Been hearing about it a lot, so it's nice to get to play it! 8D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

me playing this game::::: Blindly clicking, ok next lets go, hurry the Ef up, click. I hate these types of games. They make no sense & they are dumb

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

we never got our pony rides you liars

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's like yugioh. No one knows how to play it.

I gave up after 10 minutes because it wasn't fun.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

love this game :D 20 minutes or so and won first game.. got 10 points and 10 bonus points for the one game? hurrah :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Whelp, I'm lost. I do not remember how the heck to play this thing either... Help? ; - ;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-DUEL!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have prepared many years for this. slams YuGiOh deck beside laptop gleefully bounces off

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The sP payout for all these new games is really unbalanced. I just got 9k for a 10-minute game of MaM, whereas a 2-minute game of Tubular Tiles pays 10k and a 30-second game of Memory pays ~20k -- it's just all over the place. For a lot of these games, the reward just isn't worth the effort.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Points Earned Required Score: Play 10

I played 1 game and lost that took about half an hour :).
How can the game score be maxed out after one game XD. I have no clue how to play this game even after reading the how to play information XD. It was fun to try though ^_^.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh god I'm so horrible at games like this. had a friend try to get me into MTG and she failed. but I was able to hold me own and get the hang of it a little bit (:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Idk what I am doing 8D; the how to is pretty confusing. I wish there was a round of it that teaches you how to play. So for now I am playing it as if it is yu gi oh because Im boss at that :U -flops-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Won my first game o/ I totally trounced the Maze too. Won with like 2 lost health. This game is really fun x3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

awww still capped at 70 points? That's a bummer, I was hoping we could make a mad points rush at the end XD, especially if the shop is as large as previous posts have hinted at. As far as I know, no other events have a points cap but I could be wrong. Oh well, it was fun and I think I did ok on pointage. Thanks for this event, I got so many achievements I never would have even tried for otherwise!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I love the art for this game but omfg I soooo don't know what I'm doing it's so confusing....

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

either I get the suckiest hands ever, or the Maze gets the most OP cards in the deck :C or both

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN I kinda wish the reward was more interesting but I really love this game; I'm going to play this a lot probably.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

// stares puzzled >D WHAT AM I DOING?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Do not like refreshing like, every turn. I guess I'll do the rest of the games I've been doing. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING 8D

clicks randomly wheeeeeeee

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

omg yes yes yes. Thank you, I was hoping you'd be bringing this back! :D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eeh...I might give this game a try if it didn't require refreshing the page very single turn but as it is I'm not going to even try. I was really hoping Epicon would be over today and not drag on through the weekend.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh awesome ong yay thank you!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oh - reading again and looking at the new Epicon Games page: so we only need to play once each day? Well, that sounds more feasible, at least I hope so, lol.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

it has been mentioned a few times that they will! :D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

SO glad I finally got the 'Psychic' achievement title a few hours. I love all the new games! :) Hope they stick around after this EPICon ends.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Rumi better get on releasing that last sticker then!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And there I thought logging on, Spindles would remain the weekend game, which would at least have been good for my pets' int! Shortly peeking into the "how to play" tells me, this is a massively time consuming game?! And that for 3 days? I don't think so...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wait?!? We can play seashell 60 times and then the 10 for the bonus and be over with it!!!! Thank you for listening!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU!!! Whoever think of these "MARRY ME!" Just Kidding!! I won't ask someone to marry me over the internet! Want some food with that proposal?
