Players then send those ‘expendable assets’ into the shadows of the mean sprawl streets of the Sixth World, fighting past magic, tech and more to collect resources and corporate secrets to defeat their rivals!

YashimaYashima: Legend of the Kami Masters

$39.95

 

A long time ago the Kami, spirit protectors of the world, were unknown to all but those who practiced Shinto. Then, a cataclysmic event nearly destroyed us all. What was salvaged from the wreckage were people who could see Kami and bond with them. This power, combined with elite training in schools of martial arts, lead to powerful clans fighting against the chaos. But what happened when the darkness was defeated? The strongest fighters bonded with their Kami are destined to repeat the past in a battle for honor and domination!

 

Yashima, Legend of the Kami Masters is a card-driven miniatures game where each player customizes their deck in a free-for-all or team based showdown to be the last one standing! It includes four characters and four Kami, each with their own deck of cards. Each character has their own high-detail miniature.

 

2-4 players

21After an incredibly successful convention in our new venue, AdeptiCon will return to the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center March 31st through April 3rd, 2016!

 

AdeptiCon 2015 saw several changes, the most obvious being the move to a new venue. The Renaissance Schaumburg, with all its additional space and amenities, proved to be the upgrade AdeptiCon needed. We are very excited to announce our return to this fantastic facility in 2016. AdeptiCon 2015 also saw the integration of a new registration system which we will continue to refine and polish going forward.

 

AdeptiCon 2015 attendance was at an all-time high, as the convention offered the widest and most diverse event list to date. Huge tournaments, the addition of board gaming events, a much larger Vendor Hall, a new area for the Crystal Brush painting competition, and an expanded Hobby Seminar classroom space all made for an exciting and busy convention.

 

AdeptiCon 2016 will continue to build on our recent successes by refining our existing schedule and adding new and exciting events. Work has already begun, so mark your calendar now!

 

A couple of additional dates to keep in mind:

  • Hotel Block: The hotel blocks will open on May 15th, 2015. The Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel is currently accepting hotel reservations at the special AdeptiCon rate. Please note that all individual reservations will be charged a non-refundable deposit of one (1) night room and tax at the time of booking with a minimum of a two (2) night stay.  Click here to reserve your room at that special AdeptiCon rate!
  • Event Submission: Begins on August 15th, 2015.
  • Convention Registration: Late October/Early November of 2015.

Now get painting…that new army and that Crystal Brush entry aren’t going to paint themselves! See you in 2016!
