I will set up Ticket To Ride: Heart of Africa. 5 people can play. 6:30 time slot.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1545284.jpg&hash=683c5af9cb652e820c96f9a6101b1664b78ca730)

Set in the vast wilderness of Africa at the height of its exploration by intrepid explorers, missionaries and adventurers, Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 3 - The Heart of Africa, a single-sided expansion map for Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe, focuses on the central and southern "heart" of the continent displayed in a vertical format. This expansion introduces 45 new terrain cards, divided into three different terrain types. Each type is associated with different route colors: Desert/Savanna cards for yellow, orange and red routes; Jungle/Forest cards for green, blue and purple routes; and Mountain/Cliff cards for black, white and grey routes. Players can draw terrain cards just like train cards and they may use these to double the value of the routes they claim, under certain conditions.

In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all. Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a fantasy follow-up to his award-winning Vinci, Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans, who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth. Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory! On each turn, you either use the multiple tiles of your chosen race (type of creatures) to occupy adjacent (normally) territories - possibly defeating weaker enemy races along the way, or you give up on your race letting it go "into decline". A race in decline is designated by flipping the tiles over to their black-and-white side. At the end of your turn, you score one point (coin) for each territory your races occupy. You may have one active race and one race in decline on the board at the same time. Your occupation total can vary depend on the special abilities of your race and the territories they occupy. After the final round, the player with the most coins wins.

Do you have what it takes to be a deep space colonist? An alien frontier awaits the brave and daring! This new planet will be harsh, but if you have the skills to manage your resources, build a fleet, research alien life, and settle colonies, the world can be yours. Alien Frontiers is a game of resource management and planetary development for two to four players. During the game you will utilize orbital facilities and alien technology to build colony domes in strategic locations to control the newly discovered world. The game board shows the planet, its moon, the stations in orbit around the planet, and the solar system's star. The dice you are given at the start of the game represent the space ships in your fleet. You will assign these ships to the orbital facilities in order to earn resources, expand your fleet, and colonize the planet. As the game progresses, you will place your colony tokens on the planet to represent the amount of control you have over each territory. Those territories exert influence over specific orbital facilities and, if you control a territory, you are able to utilize that sway to your advantage. The planet was once the home of an alien race and they left behind a wondrous artifact in orbit. Using your fleet to explore the artifact, you will discover amazing alien technologies that you can use to advance your cause. Winning the game will require careful consideration as you assign your fleet, integrate the alien technology and territory influences into your expansion plans, and block your opponents from building colonies of their own. Do you have what it takes to conquer an alien frontier? Roll and place your dice to gain advantages over your opponent and block them out of useful areas of the board. Use Alien Tech cards to manipulate your dice rolls and territory bonuses to break the rules. Steal resources, overtake territories, and do whatever it takes to get your colonies on the map first! Don't dream it'll be easy, though, because the other players will be trying to do the same thing.

In for Alien Frontiers.

Signing up for ticket to ride.

I'll be there! Gonna play Factory Fun, but it's already full.

After I'm done teaching Smallworld, we begin our Risk Legacy League. It's already full, but if anyone is curious to see how it plays, feel free to check it out!

I've wanted to try Small World for awhile now, I'll give that a go

I would also like to learn Small World, sign me up!

Most of the games are full. That mean I should bring one?

Please add Taisha (the wife) to the game of Alien Frontiers.

You are certainly welcome to bring a game. Others will be bringing games for impromptu play. If you are bringing a game and would like some players, post the game and we can add it to the schedule. See you on Tuesday. :)

I'm the Ambassador for the evening so I won't be available for a sit-down game until after 8pm announcements and I've got nothing scheduled as of yet. What's going on around 8pm? If nothing is planned in advance I'll bring a litlte something-something-- not sure what yet.

I would like to join smallworld if there is still space available

You are in! And Small World is now full.

Scotland Yard
One of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. His job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives, the remaining players acting in concert, move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

We'll be playing the 1980s edition from Milton Bradley, but don't let the mass market edition scare you away. This is a fantastic deduction game! It won the Spiel des Jahres in 1983. A newer version of the game by Ravensburger is still in print.

I am scheduling this game for 8:00pm. Supports 6 players.

Logan and Reese Drydale will be attending. I would love to play Carcasone (likely spelt that wrong) or Dominion, hopefully with a couple good expansions. The problem, I don't have those games. I am considering picking them up for the family for Christmas and would like to play each a few times so that I can teach and so that I know what are good expansions to buy. Any help from anyone???

I can bring carcassone with me.

I should be there shortly after 7pm and plan to bring a few card games (for impromptu play) if anyone is looking for something to play between heavier games.

I will be there. I am in Factory Fun to start, but carcassone will be played later, I may like to get in on that!

Please remove Taisha (the wife) from the game of Alien Frontiers.  She done caught herself a cold.

Darn I really wanted to play Small world.. :(

QuoteDarn I really wanted to play Small world..

There is a spot open in Alien Frontiers and it is a great game. You can also join Scotland Yard at 8pm-- help catch the elusive Mr. X.

Orrr, there may be other options. I can add some expansion craziness to make it six players. I could also step aside and just teach. I don't mind either scenario, or if you check out one of the other games. Just let us know and I will prepare accordingly :)

No that's okay. ^_^ I probably wont get there till later anyway. I'll bring my DS too =P.

Haha, fair enough  :8)

I have a copy of SmallWorld I could bring. If there is enough interest for two games, Tyler do you think you could teach a doule-sized group? Or would that be too much?

If there was THAT much interest, I could certainly try! That being said, I think we have enough games scheduled for tonight that still have open slots, so I'd say don't worry about it ;p

I can bring the dominion pack I won at the 24 hours to play with your food event. It has the main game and two expansions. I havent opened it yet it would be good to give it a go.

Tyler's first hit single...
Tempest's Milkshake Smallworld brings all the boys gamers to the yard ChewsDay Challenge  :D

That's actually my third hit single, but we don't talk about the first two. I could tell you, but I'd have to charge.

jumping in on Scotland Yard at 8.

Thanks Roxanne!
