Randall N. Bills (Catalyst Game Labs Managing Developer) and Matthew Grau (from WildFire, the creator of CthulhuTech) will be attending NeonCon in Las Vegas, from November 5th to the 8th.

Matthew will be running the CthulhuTech RPG while Randall will be running a host of new casual games soon-to-be-published by Catalyst Game Labs, such as Poo: The Card Game and Ergo, as well as talking about Leviathans, Catalyst Game Labs new, epic alternate history, steampunk miniatures game releasing in 2010.

Both Randall and Matthew will also participate in the GamesU seminars on Saturday, November 7th.

We hope to see you there!

Catalyst Game Labs is starting to roll out its new casual game line. Unlike the intense, large-scale games of BattleTech, Shadowrun, Eclipse Phase or CthulhuTech, Catalyst casual games are easy to learn, easy to play games with lots of great re-playability.

The first two in the line-up are Poo: The Card Game and Ergo.

Ergo taps into the philosophy geek in all of us, with players attempting to prove their existence while disproving the other player’s existence through classic philosophical rules of logic. Minutes to learn the rules, yet mastery only comes to the smartest players. Ergo comes with 55 cards and a fold-out rules sheet in a beautiful metal tin.

Poo: The Card Game taps into the little kid in all of us…and the jokes that just write themselves. Also minutes to learn the rules, the game is a fast-and-furious ball of laughter, great for larger parties as the game can take up to 8 people flinging poo at one another. Poo: The Card Game includes 110 cards and a fold-out rules sheet.

Both games are perfect stocking stuffers, regardless of what type of gamer you’re trying to please. Ergo will retail for $14.99 while Poo: The Card Game will retail for $12.99. Both will be available November/December timeframe…just in time for the holidays!

Keep watching www.catalystgamelabs.com for when we announce their street date and online availability. Not to mention future casual game releases, such as the next products coming down the pipeline: Merchants and High School Drama.

The following book has a street date of November 10, 2009:
