High roller night
Experience the night!
Atmospheric theme nights
At Mysticon, it's all about the experience. That’s why we organize unique theme nights where specific board games are played in a perfectly matching atmosphere.
On Friday 31 July, we kick off with the High Roller Night, where risk and reward take center stage in a casino setting with games like Stockpile and Ready Set Bet.
​
Free play & discovery
Beyond our themed events, there is plenty of room to play at your own pace all weekend long. Dive into our extensive game library to discover classics or brand-new titles, or join special sessions like Dungeons & Dragons After Dark and the suspenseful Blood on the Clocktower. Do you have a favorite game at home, or did you just pick up a new gem from one of the vendors at the festival? Feel free to bring it to our gaming tables and share the fun with fellow visitors!
our GAMES
Stockpile
In Stockpile, you step into the shoes of a stock market investor at the end of the 20th century with one goal: striking it rich. The unique twist is that while nobody knows everything, everyone knows something. Thanks to insider information, you have an edge over the market, but you aren't the only one with secret knowledge. By cleverly bidding on bundles of shares (the 'stockpiles') and buying or selling at the right moment, you attempt to grow your fortune. Watch out, though, for unexpected trading fees or a sudden corporate bankruptcy!
​
About the activity
We invite you for an exclusive session in our dedicated "High Roller Night" tent. This activity is perfect for visitors looking for an accessible introduction to the world of high-stakes finance. In an atmospheric setting, complete with thematic music and a volunteer in matching attire, you'll learn the tricks of the trade. Sessions are played with 3 to 5 people, with our volunteer explaining the rules and joining in if necessary to keep the market moving.

Magical athlete
Magical Athlete is a madcap and chaotic racing game where anything can happen. Forget standard track and field; here you compete with a team of bizarre characters ranging from centaurs and wizards to... a banana or an egg. While the basics are simple — roll the die and move your athlete — every character possesses a unique, often "unfair" ability that completely flips the rules of the race. It is a game of pure fun, unexpected twists, and boisterous moments at the table.
​
About the activity
During the "High Roller Night," we transform part of our large tent into a magical racetrack. In this high-energy evening session, you'll experience the most unpredictable sports competition of the festival. Our volunteer (stylishly dressed in a fedora and bowtie) will help you draft your dream team and explain your athletes' unique powers. Whether you win through speed or a clever magical trick, the atmosphere is guaranteed to be electric with matching music and fast-paced sessions.

Ready set bet
In Ready Set Bet, you head to the races for a day filled with cheering, jeering, and betting on your favorite horses. The fate of the horses depends on every roll of the dice, but you decide where to place your money. The game unfolds over four rounds, each consisting of a race followed by bet resolution. During the race, players freely place their bet tokens on the board as the action unfolds. After each race, you win or lose money, and receive special VIP Club Cards that help you in subsequent races. The game combines strategy, bluffing, and pure excitement.
​

Wolf street
Wolf Street is all about bluffing, negotiation, and making the right deals under pressure. Inspired by the frantic world of the stock exchange, you play as a trader trying to outsmart your rivals. In this high-energy game for large groups, you'll need to think on your feet, take calculated risks, and above all, figure out who is telling the truth and who is trying to pull a fast one. Only the most cunning trader leaves the floor with the biggest profit.

hot streak
In Hot Streak, everything revolves around nerve, timing, and that thrilling rush you get when you dare to push just a little further than you should. Each round brings a new rapid fire challenge — based on reflexes, intuition, and a healthy dose of boldness — and the longer you stay mistake free, the more impressive your streak becomes. But one wrong move… and the whole run collapses like a house of cards.
During High Roller Night, it feels like everyone’s taking a chance: fast challenges, rising tension, and that irresistible “just one more try!” energy that keeps the room buzzing. The game is easy to learn, lightning quick to play, and delivers the perfect mix of excitement, light chaos, and unexpected twists. Ideal for anyone who loves snappy interaction, a bit of risk, and a game that instantly cranks the energy up.
