I am running the Changling Resistance game at PonyCon this year.
The Game
This is a Ponyfied version of one of the classic, imposers, card games. In this pony version Queen Crsyslis has taken over Equestria and you are a small group of pony resistance fighters trying to overthrow her. There is just one problem, some of your team are not who they say they are...but changlings!
The game is simple enough to play, cards are handed out at the start with the majority of players being ponies and a few being changlings. Everyone then closes their eyes with the changlings opening them so they know who each other are but not the other players. The game then proceeds to rounds where a leader will pick players to go on a mission and try not to pick a changling player...unless they are a changling in which case they will want to being them on the mission. All the players get to vote to approve or oppose the proposed team with lots of fun finger pointing as the game goes on with players accusing each other of being changlings. If players vote against the selection a new leaders is appointed and they pick a new team. When the mission goes ahead the players chosen get to secretly vote on if it succeeds or if it's sabotaged, only the changlings can vote to do that of course but can choose not to if they don't want to give themselves away yet.
If you want here is a video of a different version of the game being played,
In addition to the pony cards the game will also feature a story with appropriate artwork and the players on the winning team will be entered in a prize draw where you could win some prizes.
Volunteers
There will be 4-games of Changling Resistance running simultaneously during the 2 time slots 5-6pm on the Saturday and 4-5pm on the Sunday.
I naturally will be running one of the games on each day so I need a minimum of 3 volunteers to run the other games on each day, or up to 6 if there are people who could only do one of the days and so a different volunteer was needed for the other one.
Along with familiarizing yourself with the rules so you can explain it to the players (rest assured I will provide you with a full write up you can refer to in case you forget) they will also need to monitor the game to make sure it runs smoothly and read out the story I've written up to go with the game, passing the story appropriate artwork round to go with it.
Alas I can't offer anypony money for helping out but you should have a lot of fun!
