Martin Wallace and Treefrog Games present Ankh-Morpork, set in the largest city-state in Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Lord Vetinari has disappeared and different factions are trying to take control of the city. Each player has a secret personality with specific victory conditions, which means that you're not sure exactly what the other players need to do in order to win. The action takes place on a map of Ankh-Morpork, with players trying to place minions and buildings through card play. Each of the 132 cards is unique, and "the cards bring the game to life as they include most of the famous characters that have appeared in the various books. The rules are relatively simple: Play a card and do what it says. Most cards have more than one action on them, and you can choose to do some or all of these actions. Some cards also allow you to play a second card, so you can chain actions" (Wallace). A team of artists have recreated the city and its residents for the cards, game board and box, with Bernard Pearson coordinating that team. Ankh-Morpork has been sublicensed to Mayfair Games for the North American market and Kosmos for the German market.

I'm willing to host a game of Spartacus with the Serpants & the Wolf expansion at 6:30.  It can have 3 to 6 players and will take about 3 hours to do a full playthrough.

I'd be in for Spartacus.

I'm not familiar with the novels but I will give Discworld a shot. Thank you.

Cant make it this week 

jumping in on discworld

Please post if you're bringing a game so we can add you to the sign in sheet!

I will run trains at 6:30

Trains? Is that a new shiny game?

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1606346.jpg&hash=74cef1b16821da69782ac6c20ae55e3b392830cd)

In the 19th century, shortly after the industrial revolution, railways quickly spread over the world. Japan, importing Western culture and eager to become one of the Grand Nations, saw the birth of many private railway companies and entered the Golden Age of railways. Eventually, as a result of the actions of powerful people and capitalists, many of these smaller companies gradually merged into larger ones. In Trains, the players are such capitalists, managing private railways companies and striving to become bigger and better than the competition. The game takes place during the 19th and 20th century in the 2012 OKAZU Brand edition, whereas the 2013 AEG/Pegasus edition is set in modern times, with bullet trains, freight trains and more. You will start with a small set of cards, but by building a more effective deck throughout the game, you will be able to place stations and lay rails over the maps of Osaka, Tokyo or other locations. The trick is to purchase the cards you want to use, then use them as effectively as possible. Gain enough points from your railways and you will ultimately manage the most powerful railroads in modern Japan!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Not a lot of announcements this week, but just as a friendly reminder we'd like to encourage everyone to post ahead of time if you're attending, even if you don't have a specific game in mind of playing/joining/hosting; it allows us to communicate with Boston Pizza so they can be properly prepared in case they have large groups or potential reservations, etc. for that evening. Also, among other things, it's an easy way to request a game you might be interested in seeing on a particular night if you don't see it posted already!
