I will be there of course, for the League Race. As we did last time, and as mentioned elsewhere, if the race is not fully occupied by league racers, other players are welcome, whether or not you have played before. I find it is much more enjoyable with the full 10 racers if possible; it also makes me smile when people who aren't part of the league potentially crush the hopes and dreams of those who are. Of course, it'd make me sad if it happened to me, so don't mess with me please ;p

Please sign me up for Agricola

Post by: Rosencrantz on July 22, 2013, 03:03:12 PM
I'd like to add Vinhos to the schedule for 6:30 if possible.  It plays up to 4 and with teaching takes 90 - 180 minutes depending on the number of players.  Also, my wife will be joining me and would like to play Agricola.  Please sign her up (Corinne Harle).

From the box:

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic815592_md.jpg&hash=a60e23b7727dd012b13a89ee7f79ff9edd889a13)

In Vinhos (a Portuguese word meaning "Wines") you will play the role of wine producers in Portugal.

Over a period of 6 years, you will expand your business by establishing Estates in the different regions of Portugal, buying vineyards and building wineries. Skilled enologists will help you increase the quality of your wine, while top Wine Experts will enhance its features at the "Feira Nacional do Vinho Português", the Wine Tasting Fair.

Selling your wines to Portuguese local hangouts will establish a market presence for your company, help you secure the funds to expand your company, and to pay your enologists' salaries.

But, as everyone knows, prestige cannot come from money alone. To ensure a good reputation on international markets you must meet the requirements of various Countries, by consistently exporting high-quality wines.

Periodically, a Wine Tasting Fair will be held. It is up to you to decide the best time to announce which wine you intend to present. The choice of the best wine by value and features is essential to the prestige of your company and will definitely make all the difference!

So, it looks like Damien, Becky, and last time I talked to him, Cory can't make it for League Night. Would anyone else involved be upset if we pushed it ahead one week to the first week in August? I'd still keep the third league race at the end of August as well.

Thank you very much.

Bringing out Game of Thrones: The Board Game 2nd Edition :D no expansions in play this time around: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/103343/a-game-of-thrones-the-board-game-second-edition.  Chris will be teaching it @ 7:30, we can accommodate up to 6 players, we need 3 minimum to play, it'll take about 90 minutes to 180 minutes. I will be playing as well, so we have 4 slots open right now.

Don't worry about it, we're gonna bump League night ahead one week, so it'll be the first Tuesday in August.

As for my participation for this night, I'm not sure yet, I'll see what fills up for the 6:30 slots, if there's no openings, I might teach a deckbuilder (I've got Arctic Scavengers, Marvel Legendary and one of the standalone Ascension expansions) or something. Maybe small world.

Hi
I will be running game on tuesday.

Game: Grimoire.
Players: 2-5 (Better with max numbers!)
Play time: ~60-90 mins
Time: 7:30Description

Grimoires are ancient tomes from which Wizards learn their spells, everything from the simplest of cantrips to spells of unspeakable power. Wizards generally use this knowledge to help their fellow adventurers to quest for fame and fortune...but sometimes they turn that power on each other!

Each round they will choose from their Book of Spells to either help themselves or hinder their opponents, then gain Companions or Treasure to help them towards victory.

Join in the spell casting fun! (and yes, you get to use spell books!)

The featured games are filling up fast and I have this feeling there is going to be some new faces and lots of familiar faces at this week's event. So, as Ambassador, I will be prepared to set people up with games should they come in and have nothing scheduled to play. This week, my satchel of gaming goodness will be filled with quick playing 2-player games.
