If you would like to schedule a game. Please post in this event thread with the following information:
Name of the game, when you would like to start, The duration of the game, and the number of players it can accommodate.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic636868_md.jpg&hash=847746ac9cb8a9bbe0dae2353f60c28f636a8e33)

In Citadels, players take on new roles each round to represent characters they hire in order to help them acquire gold and erect buildings. The game ends at the close of a round in which a player erects her eighth building. Players then tally their points, and the player with the highest score wins.

Players start with a number of building cards in their hand; buildings come in five colors, with the purple buildings typically having a special ability and the other colored buildings providing a benefit when you play particular characters. At the start of each round, the player who was king the previous round discards one of the eight character cards at random, chooses one, then passes the cards to the next player, etc. until each player has secretly chosen a character. Each character has a special ability, and the usefulness of any character depends upon your situation, and that of your opponents. The characters then carry out their actions in numerical order: the assassin eliminating another character for the round, the thief stealing all gold from another character, the wizard swapping building cards with another player, the warlord optionally destroys a building in play, and so on.

On a turn, a player earns two or more gold (or draws two building cards then discards one), then optionally constructs one building (or up to three if playing the architect this round). Buildings cost gold equal to the number of symbols on them, and each building is worth a certain number of points. In addition to points from buildings, at the end of the game a player scores bonus points for having eight buildings or buildings of all five colors.

It wouldn't be a month of Chewsday Challenge for me if I didn't run at least one game of Smallworld. This time I think I'll run Smallworld Realms, which works the same as Smallworld/Underground, but this time it's a tile-building game. There are different options of play that basically come down to either a scenario from the book versus just making a map and playing on it. Knowledge of previous Smallworld games isn't necessary, as I can teach how it works all the same. The set up is a bit longer, so I'd say it takes about 2 to 2 and a half hours. I'd like to start this one at 6:30 as well.

Please sign me up for citadels!  Thanks!

Hi folks, I am posting that I will be bringing the game Pillars of the Earth.  Up to six players  see more details on BoardGameGeeks here:  http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/24480/the-pillarsof-the-earth

Game time 120 minutes after explanation.  Would like to start at 6:30 or so

Please add my name to Pillars of the Earth. (And thanks for the personal "heads up" Guy.)

Had a schedule change and can't make it, sorry Matt

Please sign me up for Pillars.

Please sign Becky and myself up for Small World.  We will try to make 6:30 but due to work schedules can't guarantee arrival before 7:00; will that still be okay?  Thanks!

To be fair to other players please try to arrive as close to 6:30 as possible. Unless of course Tempest wants to change his start time to 7pm. Let us know Tempest!

Well, since you guys are the first to sign up, I have no problem at all moving it to 7:00 PM; or let me know what time you think will work best. :)

Please sign me up for pillars of the earth thank you.

We always aim for 6:30, but work/traffic can affect it, so don't want to promise and not deliver...7pm I can guarantee.

7:00 PM it is!

Hey guys, I've had a schedule change with work and can't make it on the 26th.  Can you please un-sign me for citadels?  Thanks!

Can u please sign David and Deb for Pillars of the earth Thanks

Please put me down for Citadels

I would like to get in on Pillars of Earth!

I plan to get there by 7/7:30 and bring backgammon, and it sounds like Ted G will be attending also.  I have just done repairs and cleaning on my 3 BG sets, so room for more than one game if people so desire.

Sign me up for Small World please. It is a Small World, after all...

It's Small World Realms not Small World

It still plays the same as regular smallworld; the major difference is that the layout will be different depending on which scenario is chosen. The world will still be small ;p

I just like the song.

Damnit! Ear worm!   :o

Sir, I believe you may have recently suffered some serious head trauma! I'd recommend seeking medical attention! ;p

Work schedule has changed and I will be out tonight.

Nothing planned yet, but I will bring along a few favorites.
