In Dungeon Lords, you are an evil dungeonlord who is trying to build the best dungeon out there. You hire monsters, build rooms, buy traps and defeat the do-gooders who wish to bring you down. From the publisher's webpage: Have you ever ventured with party of heroes to conquer dungeons, gain pride, experiences and of course rich treasure? And has it ever occurred to you how hard it actually is to build and manage such underground complex filled with corridors and creatures? No? Well now you can try. Put yourself in role of the master of underground, summon your servants, dig complex of tunnels and rooms, set traps, hire creatures and try to stop filthy heroes from conquering and plundering your precious creation. We can guarantee you will look on dark corners, lairs and their inhabitant from completely different perspective! Each turn, players use a hand of cards to choose where to place their worker. Actions vary from mining gold, hiring monsters, buying traps etc. Each action has three spots available - with each spot having different effects (e.g. mining gold lets you mine more gold in each spot). When using the cards, two cards will become locked and will not be able to be used next turn. There are 4 turns to place actions for each game "year" and two game years in a whole game. Each turn is identified as a "season". Each season, players will get to see the heroes and events to come in the following season. Thus allowing them to prepare. At the end of each season (after the first), heroes will be allocated to each player according to their level of evil. Heroes range from mighty heroes to sneaky thieves. Each hero has their own power for which the player needs to prepare for. Finally, at the end of each year, the heroes will travel down into the dungeon to fight. Scoring in the game is based upon what you have built, the monsters you have hired and the heroes you have captured.

I would like to bring Axis & Allies if there is anyone interested in playing a full game.
630
5 people 5 hours. We will call it quits at 1130. lol

Hello Omegadirective - I'd like a spot for Axis and Allies.  Which version are you bringing?

Cheers.

I will bring one of the regular versions.
Thanks for joining!

I'll be bringing Liberte. There is room for 6. It should take about 2:30.

Mark- which time would you like to start?

I'm tempted to get in on A&A but I don't know my schedule yet, so I'll wait and see 'til later. There's a chance if I do make it out, I'll be bringing Ikusa, Legendary, Tzolk'in or who-knows-what. (I've had requests for the latter two, and it is my intention to fulfill those requests.)

It feels like the week for long games. Get your fix in before the holidays.
I'm going to bring out Super Dungeon Explore, because I don't often have the opportunity to bring it out.
It's a 6 player game, but I think that'll take too long. So lets say 4 players @ 6:30, and I'm going to guesstimate it to take roughly 4 hours.

Super Dungeon Explore is a dungeon crawler inspired by old Japanese console RPGs. The 52 included miniatures are done in a cute / chibi / super-deformed style. Players take the role of classic fantasy heroes like the human paladin, a dwarf fighter, or an elf ranger. One player is the "Dark Consul" who controls the monsters of the dungeon. Every hero/monster has a character card that details the stats for movement, attack, armor, willpower, dexterity, action points and hearts . Additional information may include special abilities / actions / attacks and potions. The game is played on modular dungeon boards. During a round of play, the game passes back and forth between single heroes and the monsters, but the exact order may change from round to round. The characters use the stats from their character card, special dice (with hearts, potions and stars) are only used for combat and checks. If the heroes wound the opponent, they may draw loot cards to improve their stats. There is also the possibility to open treasure chests to find even more powerful things. The monsters have no possibility to "level up" apart from a single late game upgrade but the Dark Consul has an unlimited number of them. To win the game, either the Dark Consul must defeat all heroes in his dungeon or the Heroes must spawn the boss by killing monsters or destroying all spawning points, and then must then kill the dungeon boss to be victorious.

Ok folks, it is time to engage in some despicable corporate culture. That's right, corruption, greed, bribery, nice corner office. Time for:

In Power Struggle, players act as corporate puppeteers, pulling strings from the shadows of a big company. Players strive to increase their power and influence within the company by hiring and firing employees, creating new departments, acquiring the special services of division heads, investing in stocks, controlling the board of directors, and bribing other players. The first person to achieve 4 of the following 6 conditions wins the game: - at least 7 points on the Influence track, - at least 18 points on the Shares track, - at least 4 points on the Main Department track, - at least 9 points on the Corruption track, - at least 1 counsel in 3 different divisions on the Counsel track, - defeating your Archenemy.

This is a medium to heavy weight Euro design that is steeply themed in corporate back room shenanigans. I think this will take 3 hours with rules explanation and game play. I will only run this if we get at least 4 players. :)

Im tempted to get in A&A but power struggle looks good

Wowzers.  I got Eldritch Horror and haven't had a chance to play it yet so was thinking of bringing it out.  Is there too many games scheduled already or can i add one more for 6:30?

The only problem I think with having too many games at the same time is that there's the chance SOMEONE won't get to run their game; but I think if you really want to bring out a game, it's worth a shot. You never know for sure how many people are going to show, so there could be enough games for everyone.

Ya, go for it Rosencrantz. I personally don't mind if sign up is low for my game. More games means more choice for people.

I think on second thought I will hold off for another week.  Seems like there is a lot of good games already.  I will put my name down for Dungeon Lords.  If you could sign my brother Curtis M. up as well that would be great thanks.

6:30 should work

Hi Matt, put me down for power struggle, this sounds great!

Hey, please put me down for the Axis & Allies game. I'm new here and unsure how I can put my name on the list. Is that the thing a MOD does?

Thanks.

You let us know and we'll add you to the first post.

Liberté covers the French Revolution from 1789 and the meeting of the Estates General to the Directory and Bonaparte's coup d'état in 1799. The game is played in four turns. In each turn there will be a variable number of rounds, followed by an election to see which faction becomes the government. There are three factions, the Radicals (red), the Moderates (blue), and the Royalists (white). The most common action is for a player to place faction blocks on the board. He shows he controls these blocks by placing one of his tokens on top of the stack. The cards are divided into two sets, set 'A' and 'B'. The 'A' deck is used first and tends to favor the moderates and Royalists. Once this deck has been exhausted the 'B' deck comes into play, which tends to favor the radicals. The election is triggered when all of one type of faction block has been exhausted. The faction blocks will determine which faction forms the next government. Players are attempting to score victory points by having the most influence in the government and opposition. Points can also be picked up in later turns for being the general in charge at a victorious battle, and for winning elections in specific provinces.

If I wasn't bringing Axis and Allies I would definately be in for Power Struggle. Sounds super cool.

Could you put Curtis M down for Dungeon Lords as well please.  Thanks.

I'll get in on the Axis & Allies game

 have a 5th for Axis and Allies.
His name is Tim, and he is new to games night.

I'm looking forward to the new year and seeing all the new games we all get for Christmas!

:thumb-up

I would be in for dungeon lords if there is still room. I may be a few minutes late, but I have played before, so I will be there by the end explaining rules!

Last event of the year lets make it a gooder.   :excited

Alas, all the scheduled events are starting too early for me. But, not to worry...........I will bring along an easy play game (Cartagena, Zen Garden or Seven Seals), and hope to find an unsuspecting player or two to join me in a game.  ::)

If no one signs up for SDE, I'll probably leave it at home, and bring some smaller games. I'll be floating around.

I was thinking I wanted to try some longer games, but I think I'm gonna bring a few shorter ones this time. I'll also be floating around ;p
