In the cursed village of Ravenswood Bluff, a Demon 😈 hides among you.

But here’s the twist:
**Even if you die… you’re still in the game.**
### **What makes this special?** ✨
• Everyone has a **unique role** and **powerful ability** 🎭
• **Dead players continue** to influence the game 🕯️
• **Bluffing, logic**, and **social strategy** matter equally 🧠
• **Every session** unfolds **differently** 🔄
This is **not** Werewolf.
This is **deeper, richer** and **far more interactive.**
**Zurich Fun Gamers Guarantee**
• Suited for both **first-time** and **more experienced players** **🎲**
• **Clear rules explanation** before starting 📜
• **Multiple games** depending on group size 🔄
• **Atmosphere-driven** experience 🕯️🌫️

Flesh and Blood Pro Quest Las Vegas CC @Kabooom Comic Shop
# *Hear the crowd chant your name… Listen to the thunderous applause… It’s all up to you, brave hero!*
*Fight your way through friend and foe to claim your invite to the next Pro Tour, one of the most prestigious Flesh and Blood events of the year. Only the strongest and smartest will survive long enough to get a chance to battle for greatness.*
*Welcome to Pro Quest…*
The path to the next Pro Tour starts HERE, with Pro Quest: Las Vegas!
Pro Quest: Las Vegas offers players a direct qualification for the second Pro Tour of 2026, hosted in Las Vegas, with elite prizes up for grabs.
For the first time ever, **Silver Age** joins **Classic Constructed** as official formats for Pro Quest!
Learn more about Silver Age **[HERE](https://fabtcg.com/products/product/silver-age-2/)**.
**Format:** Classic Constructed
(For the registration, you'll need GEM ID account.)
**Participation Fee:**
CHF 25.-
**Start:**
10.30
**Doors Open:**
09.30
Please be here 10 - 15 minutes prior, so we have enough time to register you.
**Register your Decklist online on the Event!**
The pathway to **Pro Tour: Las Vegas** begins with more than 600 Pro Quest events taking place around the world. Featuring **Classic Constructed** and **Silver Age**, Pro Quest will both challenge players and reward them with immense riches.
The winner of each Pro Quest event will receive an invite to Pro Tour: Las Vegas. If they do, they will be restricted from playing any further Pro Quest: Las Vegas events in order to give other players a chance at winning an invite. Pro Quest events are competitive, but also **open entry**, allowing newer and older players to come together for some truly exceptional gameplay, learning and growing together as they prepare for the next leg of the Flesh and Blood World Tour!
Winning a Classic Constructed Pro Quest event earns points for your hero on the Living Legend leaderboard, with weekly checks commencing every **Monday** (United States time).
Any hero that crosses the 1000-point threshold attains Living Legend status and, along with their signature weapon, will no longer be legal for official Classic Constructed tournament play effective from the **Friday** of that same week. This means some high-ranking heroes could rotate out of the game mid-season, creating a fluid and dynamic metagame to keep players on their toes!
Also on offer at Pro Quest events are a range of awesome exclusive prizes!

Dinner Game Night
Come ready to play.
We’re turning dinner into a full-on game night. Card games, competitive chaos, and yes, those long strategic nerd games my friends love to play. We’ll also have Jackbox games on the big screen so everyone can jump in and talk a little trash.
There will be pizza. There will be drinks. There will be snacks. There will absolutely be laughter.
Pull up, grab a slice, pick a game, and let’s make it a night.
\* This will be at someone's house so address will be given night before the event.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
