Hey, isn't this our first year anniversary?

That it is! And what better way to celebrate than with the championship race of the Chewsday Challenge Formula D League? I wish there were puns I could make that connect racing to birthday cake. Oh well. In any case, I should be there and ready to roll!

I also updated the roster with everyone that I talked to already or already have confirmation of their attendance. I'll update as necessary.

I should try playing something new... Buuuuut it's Factory Fun. I can't say no, so sign me up!

The year is 79 A.D. Pompeii, sitting at the foot of Vesuvius, is at the high point in its development. People come to the city from far and wide to try to make their luck in the city. So far nobody has dreamed of the danger that will bury all of their dreams under mountains of ash just ten years later. Who will survive the eruption of Vesuvius unscathed? The game falls into two halves: before and after the eruption of Vesuvius. Before the eruption, players play cards to place their pieces in buildings. After the first eruption, they can also place as many relatives as the number of pieces already in the building they placed their piece in. When Omen cards are drawn, the player can take any opponent's piece and throw it into the erupting volcano. In this manner, players try to get as many pieces onto the board as close to the exits from the city as possible. After the second eruption, the game changes. Now each player places a lava tile, which destroys any pieces on that square and may block exits from the city. Then they move two pieces toward the exits, moving them a number of squares equal to the pieces on the square from which they started. The player who gets the most pieces out of the city wins.

Players attempt to build the most successful factory to produce the best products by connecting input and output reservoirs smartly to your machines to build the most profitable factory! Players each start with a unique empty factory floor with a support pillar in the middle. During the game you purchase machines to place in your factory. Each machine takes 1 to 3 inputs from reservoirs (yellow, blue, red, and brown) and produces one output (of the same colors, or black end products). You must always connect all reservoirs and machines correctly by using the connectors (the pipelines). At the start this is easy, but becomes more puzzling during the game. Players start with one of each color reservoir, and can sometimes acquire additional reservoirs. On the machine-tiles you see the revenue of each machine. Connecting machines to each other (input on output) makes more advanced products which brings extra profit. But building connectors and reservoirs costs money and you must try to have the most money at the end. It was originally published by Cwali for 2-4 players, and later reprinted by Z-Man in a larger box with components for 2-5 players.

Breton and I are going to bring Downfall of Pompeii. We have room for 2 more players. Game takes approximately 60 minutes.

Please sign me up for Factory Fun and Jason72 for Downfall of Pompeii.  Thanks!

I'm in for formula de it's going to b a awesome race

I'll bring King of Tokyo with the Power Up! expansion.  Will play a few games of it over the course of the night, the first one can start at 6:30pm, and there's space each game for up to 6 players.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic761434.jpg&hash=b0d9b724c0c54208021b9a4caeda432bdd4c1e00)

In King of Tokyo, you play mutant monsters, gigantic robots, and strange aliens – all of whom are destroying Tokyo and whacking each other in order to become the one and only King of Tokyo. At the start of each turn, you roll six dice. The dice show the following six symbols: 1, 2 or 3 Victory Points, Energy, Heal and Attack. Over three successive throws, choose whether to keep or discard each die in order to win victory points, gain energy, restore health, or attack other players into understanding that Tokyo is YOUR territory. The fiercest player will occupy Tokyo, and earn extra victory points, but that player can't heal and must fact all the other monsters alone! Top this off with special cards purchased with energy that have a permanent or temporary effect, such as the growing of a second head which grants you an additional die, body armor, nova death ray, and more.... and it's one of the most explosive games of the year! In order to win the game, one must either destroy Tokyo by accumulating 20 victory points, or be the only surviving monster once the fighting has ended.

Signing up for king of Tokyo!

the hubby and I would like to try Factory Fun if that's alright :)

I am ambassador tonight so I will not sign up for anything early in the evening, that said, I have a couple of Stefan Feld games in the bag for later on.

Chad Boudreau (ComicReaders Downtown) and Matt Robertson have donated games so far. A detailed posting / thread will be created in the days ahead that outlines the contents of this "Ambassador Game Kit".
