Frequently asked questions

So, I have a question....

We love questions, bring 'em and we'll answer them as best as we can.

Here are some frequently asked questions.

Will WCM run events in the future?

A: West Coast MegaGames plans to run live events again once the world opens back up, and we are looking at the viability of running online versions of of Sengoku,Watch The Skies, and The World Turned Upside Down but no dates are set.

What are the victory conditions of a megagame?

A: The Megagames we run do not have a concrete victory condition like tabletop/board/card/strategy games. We do track many achievements throughout the game and teams are awarded them during the debrief.

That being said, you are free to set your own victory condition by which you will have "won" the game.

For example, in Sengoku your goal could be to become Shogun, exterminate a rival clan, bring peace to Japan, or even to just survive the game! There are many possibilities, and it’s up to you to decide.


When do we find out what team we are?

A: We don’t assign team during registration to keep the game balanced. We tend to finalize casting and send team assignments two weeks before the game.

Is it okay if I bring a costume or (purely ceremonial) weapon to the event?

A: Costumes are welcome and encouraged, but for participant safety we must ask that any weapons be either 100% non-dangerous (e.g., foam) or left at home.
