Ambercon 2011 * April 14th-17th, 2011 * Detroit, Michigan

This is an elders game that gives the people playing the elders a chance to do what the elders do best, con people. The idea is this: Why do elder amberites often seem to (in)conveniently forget important details from the past? Why does no one comment on Ganelon out-wrestling Gerard? Why do elder amberites rarely have children? Why do so few people really understand the trumps? Why is such import placed on having possession of, or being in, Castle Amber? How did Bleys really survive falling off the stairs? How did Corwin really survive the plague? How did Corwin really survive Caine's assasination attempt? How is it that Amberites long thought dead might still turn up on a somewhat regular basis? Why does Merlin, who is half Chaosian demonstrate more cosmic powers than most elders? This game provides the answers to those questions. "Within Amber's Ygg boundary, countless worlds live free from the oppression and depredations of the Lords of Chaos. But the boundary isn't enough. Amber's enemies need to know that the immortal royal family of Amber is watching them, keeping things under control, and ready to counter any sudden change in the status quo. Sadly, forever turned out to be a long time. The odds caught up with the Amberites one by one. Their trusty retainers in Castle Amber weren't ready to give up the ghost and let Chaos take over. That's where you come in. You may not be cosmically powerful, but all the worlds in the universe are counting on you. If anybody asks, you're a Prince of Amber."
