60 players! 6 hours! 100% fun! Inspired by the pilot of Battlestar Galatica, Den of Wolves is a cooperative megagame that combines elements of board games and diplomacy. Players cooperate to allocate resources while fending off waves of attacks from the vile "wolves". Beware! These wolves are tricky, and a traitor may roam amongst us.

Infinite Domain is an expansion to the original Den of Wolves which increases the player count and incorporates new ships as well as several bonus roles.

The Event

The Megagame Coalition is proud to present Den of Wolves - the modern megagame classic by the UK upstart designer, John Mizon of SW Megagames. The Infinite Domain expansion to the original Den of Wolves was designed by Portland Megagames, it increases the player count and incorporates new ships as well as several bonus roles.

A PAX Unplugged Convention Badge is required to attend this event.

Den of Wolves is one of the most-played megagames of all time, sporting strong themes common in military sci-fi (like the Alien series or The Expanse) and satisfying resource management mechanics. Folks familiar with the pilot of Battlestar Galatica will find very similar themes and setting.

The Setting

A still image of one of the greatest game mechanics of all time - if you know, you know.

A small fleet of interstellar vessels tries to balance survival, politics and military challenges as they attempt to stay one step ahead of their pursuers.

It is the 27th Century. After a catastrophic attack on humanity, one battleship and a few civilian vessels must fight to survive, govern themselves and maintain order, as they flee from their pursuers. Den of Wolves is a game about difficult political, military and survival choices in a long-term crisis scenario. Players will take on the roles of starship captains, officers, and engineers, as well as politicians and military personnel. The game has a focus on managing resources, as well as various units and assets – however, talking and negotiating with other players will be crucial in order to achieve success. The game also seeks to represent political and military systems, and their decisions, and so players should expect some political simulation.

Beware! There may be secret traitorous roles among us!
