A poster with bold red text on a black background. The title reads "Games Against the Empire" in large red letters with a white outline, with a graphic of Boshi embedded in the "P" in "Empire." Smaller text at the top says "Boshi's Place Presents." At the bottom, the event details are provided: "Panel: Tuesday, 11/19 @ 7 PM" and "Show: Thursday, 11/21 @ 7 PM" at "1002 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211." The logo for "Night City Games" is displayed on the left, and fine print at the bottom reads, "Game Design Days are supported by NYU Game Center and Empire State Development."
