We also offer a wide selection of game retailers <strong>and</strong><br />

New to the convention? If you have any questions, the<br />
convention staff will be glad to assist you.<br />
Again, thank you for coming. Enjoy the adventure.<br />
Convention Hours<br />
Gamex opens to the public at noon on Friday <strong>and</strong> closes at 6<br />
pm on Monday. While events such as seminars <strong>and</strong> tournaments<br />
are scheduled, open gaming never closes.<br />
Game Tournaments <strong>and</strong> Events<br />
The various Tournaments <strong>and</strong> Events being held at this<br />
convention are listed in the pages of this program in their own<br />
event schedules. Tournaments <strong>and</strong> Events have been broken<br />
down into sections (Board Games, Computer <strong>and</strong> Video Games,<br />
Demonstrations, Live-Action Role-Playing Games, Miniatures,<br />
Role-Playing Games, Special Events <strong>and</strong> Seminars), each with its<br />
own special information under the appropriate headings in the<br />
program.<br />
Common Rights of Event Officials<br />
To clarify the authority of the tournament judges <strong>and</strong> event<br />
gamemasters (GMs), this convention grants its officials these<br />
rights.<br />
1. Judges <strong>and</strong> GMs may modify game rules as necessary by<br />
announcement prior to commencement of the tournament or<br />
event.<br />
2. Judges <strong>and</strong> GMs may adjudicate a winner when time allotted<br />
for the completion of the round has elapsed.<br />
3. As necessary, judges <strong>and</strong> GMs may take appropriate action<br />
to ensure sportsmanlike play <strong>and</strong> fairness in the tournament <strong>and</strong><br />
event.<br />
4. If a tournament draws fewer than eight (8) players or if a<br />
role-playing event draws fewer players than the minimum the<br />
GM determines is necessary, the convention reserves the right to<br />
cancel it.<br />
5. Event officials have the right to eject, if deemed necessary,<br />
any player from an event.<br />
Event Registration<br />
You can register for participation in events on site by entering<br />
your name on the sign up sheet. These sheets can be found at<br />
the appropriate Event Registration Desk prior to the event’s<br />
scheduled starting time. Role-Playing events are an exception.<br />
Role-Playing event sign up sheets are in RPG HQ all day <strong>and</strong><br />
will be moved to the event location when that event starts, thus<br />
allowing walk-in registration.<br />
All on-site registration is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis<br />
<strong>and</strong> closes when the maximum participant limit for the event<br />
1
is reached. On-site registration must be done in person (one<br />
person may not register for another) <strong>and</strong> you may register for<br />
only one game event at a time. However, there is no limit on the<br />
number of game events you can register for over the course of<br />
the convention (as long as they do not conflict with each other).<br />
Please arrive at an event location 10 minutes prior to its<br />
scheduled start time <strong>and</strong> be ready to play. Bring the game if you<br />
have it as often tournaments are limited by the number of games<br />
available.<br />
Multiple Section Tournament Entry Limit<br />
In some cases, two or more tournaments will be staged for a<br />
particular game (these are denoted by a # symbol after them,<br />
such as Guillotine #2). If you have already played in one<br />
such tournament for a given game, you may not register for<br />
another tournament of the same game until one hour before<br />
the later tournament is scheduled to begin. This will give the<br />
first chances at registration to those who haven’t played in one<br />
of the tournaments for the game. After all, we want to ensure<br />
that as many people as possible get to play at least one of the<br />
game’s tournaments. For Role-Playing events, if multiple sections<br />
of the same event are offered for a particular game, you may<br />
play in only one of those sections over the entire course of the<br />
convention.<br />
Walk-in Event Entry<br />
If openings become available at a game event, you can inform<br />
the official in charge of the event that you want to play. Space<br />
for walk-in entries is available on a first-come, first-served basis,<br />
beginning approximately five minutes prior to the event starting<br />
time. If you have been unable to register for an event, it’s<br />
worthwhile to try walking in. Bringing a copy of the game you<br />
want to play greatly increases your registration chances.<br />
Late Arrivals<br />
Show up on time for your game events! Even if you’ve<br />
registered, if you’re not on time, it’s assumed you’re not going<br />
to show up <strong>and</strong> your place may be given away to someone else.<br />
Tournament Prizes<br />
Prizes will be awarded by Strategicon to the winners of<br />
several tournaments <strong>and</strong> certain events. Prizes are in the form<br />
of colored ribbons, award certificates, <strong>and</strong> “Dealer Tokens”,<br />
which are redeemable at face value in the Dealer Room for<br />
merch<strong>and</strong>ise (only). These Dealer Tokens are good for the<br />
calendar year they are awarded, <strong>and</strong> Dealer Tokens may be<br />
applied toward the payment of any state sales tax on your<br />
purchase as well.<br />
Private business firms or game manufacturers sponsoring or<br />
staging certain tournaments on their own may also award<br />
prizes. Terms <strong>and</strong> redemption of any such prizes are the<br />
responsibility of the business awarding them, <strong>and</strong> Gamex can<br />
take no responsibility for such prizes. Check with your event<br />
official to see when <strong>and</strong> where these prizes (if any) will be<br />
awarded.<br />
The prizes for board games will be as follows:<br />
Events are played for the pure fun of the game<br />
Tournaments are paid out as follows:<br />
Mega - $50, $20, $10, $5<br />
Large - $20, $10, $5, $3<br />
Tournament - $10, $5, $3<br />
Small - $5, $3, $1<br />
Sponsored events will often award some type of game or game<br />
2<br />
expansion<br />
Special Events will award some type of award, plaque, <strong>and</strong>/or<br />
dealer tokens, to be determined as the event is run.<br />
If a certain minimum number of players do not play a game, we<br />
may exercise the right to reduce or eliminate the payout.<br />
A Guide to Gamex 2016 for Non-gamers<br />
We’re very glad you’re attending this convention <strong>and</strong> hope you<br />
enjoy yourself. We want to state emphatically that you should<br />
not feel excluded from the activities going on this weekend.<br />
We’ve made a special effort to see to your needs. Enjoy<br />
yourself, make <strong>new</strong> friends, <strong>and</strong> live some adventures with<br />
us that you’ll remember. The first thing you should do is walk<br />
around <strong>and</strong> visit the entire convention. Take special notice of<br />
Open Gaming <strong>and</strong> the Dealer Room. Then w<strong>and</strong>er around <strong>and</strong><br />
just look at everything else. If anything piques your interest,<br />
ask someone what they’re doing. Don’t worry, people ask us<br />
all the time to explain these games <strong>and</strong> you’ll find that gamers<br />
as a whole are a very friendly <strong>and</strong> intelligent group who enjoy<br />
talking about, <strong>and</strong> sharing, their hobby. Don’t be surprised if<br />
they offer you an instant game lesson <strong>and</strong> invite you to play!<br />
You may wish to jump in <strong>and</strong> have some fun; after all, this is the<br />
stuff that good times <strong>and</strong> friendships are made of!<br />
The convention has many activities such as Auctions,<br />
Demonstrations, Seminars, <strong>and</strong> most importantly Game<br />
Tournaments. Many of you are already familiar with such<br />
popular family games as Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan,<br />
Ticket to Ride, etc. We urge you to sign up for a round at the<br />
Board Game registration desk. You’ll find that there are many<br />
beginners just like you in these enjoyable tournaments, just like<br />
you.<br />
Another type of gaming that you’ll enjoy is the “Card Game”<br />
division. These games include the fast <strong>and</strong> riotous action<br />
games such as Uno, Guillotine, Phase 10, <strong>and</strong> Nuclear War.<br />
Each of these games can be easily taught in about 10 minutes,<br />
<strong>and</strong> teachers can be found just about any time in the Open<br />
Gaming area or the tournament rooms prior to the start of their<br />
tournaments. Just look for someone with a copy of the game<br />
<strong>and</strong> ask him or her to teach you! You’ll be glad to hear that<br />
<strong>new</strong> players have a good chance of beating even the most<br />
experienced veterans in these freewheeling fun games.<br />
We have also added many party games, such as Wits <strong>and</strong><br />
Wagers, Liar’s Dice, 25 Words or Less, <strong>and</strong> Times Up to the<br />
schedule. We’d also like to invite you to play any number of<br />
role-playing games, most of which require no prior experience<br />
to participate – just bring your imagination <strong>and</strong> come play an<br />
exciting story – either for the tabletop or in free-form live-action<br />
events. For those who want something a bit more physically<br />
exerting, we have “Combat” Live-Action Role-Playing games<br />
that bring role-playing games to life with not only live acting, but<br />
also physical challenges such as dexterity tasks (disarming mock<br />
traps, solving puzzles, or “picking” locks) <strong>and</strong> live combat with<br />
safe, padded weapons.<br />
We have worked hard to ensure that the opportunity is here for<br />
you to have lots of fun in the gaming hobby. If you have any<br />
questions or suggestions, please stroll over to the Help Desk in<br />
the Registration area <strong>and</strong> a friendly staff person will see to your<br />
needs. It is our hobby, <strong>and</strong> we do love it. If there is one thing<br />
better than gaming, it is sharing our games with <strong>new</strong> friends.<br />
Enjoy the con!

Save Your Convention!<br />
The Hilton has become concerned about the volume of outside food consumed at the convention,<br />
<strong>and</strong> has asked us to remind people of the ...<br />
Hotel Food Policy<br />
Absolutely NO outside food or beverage items, <strong>including</strong> alcohol, are permitted in<br />
public <strong>and</strong> convention areas. This includes the hotel lobby, registration <strong>and</strong> gaming<br />
areas, meeting rooms, theater <strong>and</strong> dealer room. If you wish to have food in any of<br />
these areas, it must be purchased from the hotel.<br />
Any attendee, staff member or exhibitor bringing coolers, fast food bags, bottles,<br />
cases of beer or soft drinks, delivery boxes, grocery items or other outside food<br />
into public convention areas will be directed to take it back to their hotel rooms or<br />
the third-floor Courtyard.<br />
Convention staff must enforce the Hilton’s outside food policy. The convention can<br />
<strong>and</strong> will be fined for individual infractions, so your cooperation is appreciated.<br />
We don’t like this any more than you do, but note the last paragraph. That In’N’Out Double-Double<br />
you’re eating while reading this can cost the con $100. We have to cover that cost somehow,<br />

the threat.<br />

Echavarri at the bridge of Alcolea. Historically, the action was<br />
somewhat brief <strong>and</strong> the Spanish scattered upon general contact.<br />
But with better defense, the Spanish could have slowed Dupont’s<br />
advance <strong>and</strong> maybe changed some of the early history of the<br />
Peninsular war before the battle of Baylen 1808.<br />

casualties totaled nearly 8,000, while Pyrrhus lost some 3,000,<br />
<strong>including</strong> many of his officers. Pyrrhus later famously commented<br />
on his victory, stating, “One more such victory, <strong>and</strong> we are<br />

* Science Fiction Single * Open<br />
* Science Fiction Unit * Strategikids<br />
* Science Fiction Large<br />
* Single: All single 25 mm-35 mm human-sized <strong>and</strong> smaller<br />
models. Model should be on an appropriately sized base. The<br />
majority of miniatures fit into this size range. The upper limit may<br />
reasonably include things such as an orc on a boar (fantasy),<br />
Space Marine Terminator (science fiction), <strong>and</strong> mounted cavalry<br />
(historical). Judges reserve the right to move entries intended for<br />
the Single category to Large.<br />
* Unit: Groups of two to twelve miniatures grouped together as<br />
a cohesive unit. Entry should follow legal games system rules<br />
where available. It is suggested you use some form of tray for<br />
loose units but is not required.<br />
* Large: All miniatures larger than a normal 28 mm human-sized<br />
model. This may include models such as dragons (fantasy), tanks<br />
<strong>and</strong> similar vehicles (science fiction <strong>and</strong> historical), <strong>and</strong> largescale<br />
models.<br />
* Open: Entry can be anything from a single model straight out<br />
of the package to a sweeping diorama with dozens of figures.<br />
Have dueling dragons, blow-up tanks, or a completely scratchbuilt<br />
model? This is where it goes. The only restriction is that<br />
entries can be no larger than 18” x 18” x 18”.<br />
* Strategikids: For contestants 14 years of age <strong>and</strong> under.<br />
Any model of any scale may be entered. This is intended for<br />
beginning painters.<br />
Rules<br />
1. Entries must be submitted in person by the painter <strong>and</strong> must<br />
be the work of the painter submitting them.<br />
2. You may not enter any miniature that has previously won any<br />
type of prize or award in any other competition.<br />
3. Only one (1) entry per category per person. An entry may<br />
be refused if it is too large.<br />

disqualification if the judges decide that any common rule has<br />
been violated.<br />
8. Display bases are not considered for purposes of size<br />
restrictions or for judging of the miniature itself. Conversions<br />
<strong>and</strong> base scenics may contribute overall to a miniature’s ranking<br />
but are not the primary consideration for judging. Judges will<br />
rank entries based on painting technique, neatness, skill in<br />
execution, coherent color scheme, <strong>and</strong> overall appearance. The<br />
judging team consists of notable artists in the miniature-painting<br />
community who are well versed in the craft, <strong>and</strong> their decisions<br />
are final.<br />

who share a passion for the miniature-painting hobby, but<br />

responsible for damaged or lost miniatures. We will do our best<br />
to ensure the safety of all entries.<br />

competition indicates permission for Strategicon to use such<br />
images for any purpose, <strong>including</strong> posting to the online photo<br />
gallery.<br />

arise).<br />
3. All disputes regarding space, participant status, <strong>and</strong> wares<br />
should be brought to the attention of Convention Services. All<br />

Product Policy<br />
Game manufacturers or their designees have exclusive rights to<br />
sell their products at this convention. You may not violate any<br />
attending exhibitor’s product exclusivity. Therefore, the sale by<br />
any individual at the Flea Market, in the judgment of Strategicon<br />
or the attending manufacturer/designee, of <strong>new</strong> games<br />
produced by an attending manufacturer/designee is prohibited<br />
<strong>and</strong> constitutes a violation of this policy.<br />
In addition, the selling of any appreciable quantity of <strong>new</strong><br />
product (in or out of shrink wrap, freight damaged, etc.) is not<br />
allowed. The convention reserves the right to refuse the use<br />
of Flea Market tables. Individuals judged in violation of any<br />
of these policies <strong>and</strong> regulations may be expelled from the<br />
convention site for the remainder of the event without a refund<br />
of fees paid.<br />
Notice from the State of California<br />
If you do not have a seller’s permit <strong>and</strong> are not an occasional<br />
seller you MAY NOT sell at this event. A temporary seller’s<br />
permit can be obtained at any Board of Equalization office,<br />
at no cost to you. The business address on your temporary<br />
permit should be the address of the temporary selling location.<br />
The mailing address is your permanent place of business or<br />
residence.<br />
Occasional sellers are persons who will not be making a series<br />
of sales sufficient in number, scope, <strong>and</strong> character to constitute<br />
an activity requiring the holding of a seller’s permit. Occasional<br />
sellers are typically people who clear out their own garage <strong>and</strong><br />
who sell those items.<br />
Game Auction<br />
The convention hosts, as one of its prime attractions, the auction<br />
of games <strong>and</strong> related products. This entertainment highlight,<br />
where items often sell for below retail price, will be held on<br />
Monday at 11 am in the Seminar Room.<br />
Auction Registration Rules<br />
What is sellable at the auction includes any boxed, bagged, or<br />
envelope-packaged games or game-related materials (originals<br />

components.<br />
A Note About Lots<br />
A lot is auctioned off as a single unit. It may contain any number<br />
of items (a trilogy of games or a year’s worth of magazines, for<br />
example). The Lot Registration Slip should contain list what items<br />
the lot contains specifically along with any special features of<br />
the items. Details such as edition, condition (mint, punched, or<br />
partially punched), extra units <strong>and</strong> variants included should be<br />

(Tactical WWII naval, for example) in the lot’s description. Role<br />
Playing Games should have the system for which the item was<br />
designed listed in the description.<br />

Convention Rules<br />

Your badge is your only proof to us that you have paid your<br />
admission fee <strong>and</strong> is therefore required in order to participate<br />
in any convention activities. It should be worn above the waist,<br />
in front, so it’s visible to our convention staff. If you lose your<br />
badge, a <strong>new</strong> one will cost full price!<br />
2. Never use the table space in the tournament gaming rooms<br />
or demonstration area for open gaming.<br />
3. If you enter a tournament, please bring a copy of the game<br />
to be played. Otherwise, your participation in the tournament<br />
will not be assured, since there may not be enough copies of the<br />
game (brought by other players) to go around. In fact, if you do<br />
not have a copy of the game, you may be replaced by someone<br />
who does!<br />
4. Keep an eye on your property! We are not responsible for<br />
the safe-keeping of your belongings, with the exception of items<br />
left with us at the auction.<br />
5. If you register <strong>and</strong> pay for admission for one day only, you<br />
gain admission from the time you register until 8 am the next<br />
morning. After 8 am you must reregister <strong>and</strong> pay the difference<br />
in admission fees if you wish to continue your attendance.<br />
6. There is no rule number 6.<br />
7. All “Live-Action Role-Playing games” must be organized by<br />
the convention staff. All unauthorized “Live-Action Gaming” is<br />
prohibited. Anyone caught participating in a non-conventionorganized<br />
activity may be removed from the convention without<br />
a refund of admission.<br />
8. The legal age to drink or purchase alcohol in California is 21.<br />
No drinking is allowed in the convention meeting areas, only<br />
at bars <strong>and</strong> in hotel rooms. Violation may result in expulsion<br />
without a refund.<br />
9. No weapons, real or facsimile, are allowed in the hotel.<br />
This includes swordcanes, which are illegal <strong>and</strong> a felony<br />
in California. Weapons that are purchased in the Dealer<br />
Room must be wrapped <strong>and</strong> removed to your room or car<br />
immediately.<br />
10. No smoking is allowed anywhere within the Hilton Hotel.<br />
11. Do not use the fire exits unless there is an emergency.<br />
12. We are not responsible for your children.<br />
Convention Policy: Bonding<br />
Individuals still pay a preregistration fee in order to attend, even<br />
though they intend to work for a free admission. This policy of<br />
BONDING their convention fees is in case of poor performance,<br />
or failure to perform the required work.<br />
The fee is refundable upon the satisfactory completion of<br />
the required convention work. Simply bring your properly<br />
completed paperwork to Registration for reimbursement.<br />
Hilton Hotel Rules<br />
1. No gaming is allowed in the stairwells, roof, hallways,<br />
restaurants, or poolside. Plenty of room has been provided for<br />
you by the convention organizers, so please keep your gaming<br />
in the designated areas.<br />
2. The elevator capacity is only 16 persons or 2,500 pounds.<br />
Don’t overload them, because they do break down (it’s not easy<br />
to get someone to fix them on a holiday weekend either, <strong>and</strong><br />
you can be stuck in there for quite a while). Just wait for the<br />
next elevator.<br />
3. The pool closes at midnight.<br />
4. If you’re planning on sleeping here, you must sleep in a hotel<br />
room. That’s the law! We must wake anyone napping.<br />
5. Naturally, we don’t want our rooms damaged. A 10 pm<br />
“noise curfew” will be strictly enforced on all room floors.<br />
Complaints received about guests after hours may result in<br />
expulsion from the hotel.<br />
7. No propping open fire exits <strong>and</strong> no hallway horseplay<br />
8. Water coolers are not to be opened. Please do not reach<br />
inside to get ice as this is a health hazard. The hotel will<br />
prosecute anyone, regardless of age, to the furthest extent of<br />
the law!<br />
9. No outside food or beverage items are permitted in public<br />
areas.<br />

Hotel Food Policy<br />
Absolutely NO outside food or beverage items, <strong>including</strong> alcohol, are permitted in public <strong>and</strong><br />
convention areas. This includes the hotel lobby, registration <strong>and</strong> gaming areas, meeting rooms,<br />
theater <strong>and</strong> dealer room. If you wish to have food in any of these areas, it must be purchased<br />
from the hotel.<br />
Any attendee, staff member or exhibitor bringing coolers, fast food bags, bottles, cases of beer<br />
or soft drinks, delivery boxes, grocery items or other outside food into public convention areas<br />
will be directed to take it back to their hotel rooms or the third-floor Courtyard.<br />
Convention staff must enforce the Hilton’s outside food policy. The convention can <strong>and</strong> will be<br />
fined for individual infractions, so your cooperation is appreciated.<br />
A Word (or two) from the Con Man<br />
Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate<br />
their chances.<br />
Sometimes just when you think you’ve got it all figured out things<br />
come out of left field to derail a perfectly good plan.<br />
As many of you have heard, last show we topped 2100<br />
attendees — our largest show since the early 1990s <strong>and</strong> the<br />
largest show this group has run since taking over the cons 9+<br />
years ago. This show may very well hit 2000 attendees — the<br />
first ever for a Gamex.<br />
But that would be too easy. As some of you might have<br />
noticed, there’s an, shall we say, a heightened emphasis on<br />
disseminating information on the hotel food policy. Why? Well,<br />
go ahead <strong>and</strong> read it — I’ll wait.<br />
I have seen the writing on the wall<br />
The hotel has decided to crack down on outside food brought<br />
into convention space. That is their right — it’s in our contract<br />
with the hotel.<br />
But why now? That’s a whole lot of speculation, <strong>and</strong> quite<br />
frankly I’m not inclined to do it here. There’s certainly a bottom<br />
60<br />
line aspect to it someplace, but beyond that it’s anyone’s guess.<br />
Note that we’ve had it good for the last 35+ years we’ve been<br />
in hotels in that the hotels have mostly looked the other way.<br />
Not any longer. That said, Northern California conventions (with<br />
one conspicuous exception) have operated under these terms<br />
for years <strong>and</strong> have very similar restrictions.<br />
But for us the choice is one of put up or pay up, <strong>and</strong> this puts us<br />
all in a bind.<br />
So please, be underst<strong>and</strong>ing when we say we have to enforce<br />
this. We don’t want to any more than you want to have to deal<br />
with it, but this really is out of our control. We are working to<br />
sort this out for the long term, but for the short term we have to<br />
deal with it.<br />
At least we have someplace we can eat on the third floor. It’s<br />
not ideal, but it’s a start.<br />
It’s a con! Have fun!<br />
Distractions aside, Let’s have a good time. That’s what we’re<br />
here for, after all.
