(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1727949_md.jpg&hash=33f9a37d58fbca8ca0268fdffdd8a7c9a0cd046f)

In Rampage, you arrive in Meeple City as a gigantic, famished, scaly-skinned monster! Your goal: Dig your claws and dirty paws into the asphalt, destroy buildings, and devour innocent meeples – in short: sow terror while having fun. The monster who has caused the most damage after the carnage finally ends wins the game. The buildings in Meeple City are comprised of floor tiles and meeples, with the meeples serving as pillars that support the floors. Four wooden vehicles are on the ground in the eight neighborhoods in the city. Each monster, which consists of a wooden paws disc and a wooden body, starts in one corner of the game board.

Please Sign me up for Rampage at 7:30p :) thanks

Might as well sign me up for rampage at 730

Rampage for me and Alex at 6:30'please. I will bring something else to run later in the evening......not sure what yet.

I'll take that last spot in 6:30 Rampage, please.

I can run a game of Freedom: The Underground Railroad at 7:30.  It's a cooperative game that kinda sorta plays like Pandemic but with much more historical flavour injected into it.  It'll take 90-120 minutes (but we'll say 120 to be on the safe side) and can accommodate up to 4 players.  Here's a description from BGG:

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1478723_md.jpg&hash=7baa9cb0ada5a748af4e20eb6d4afc7d23c9b535)

Freedom is a card-driven, cooperative game for one to four players in which the group is working for the abolitionist movement to help bring an end to slavery in the United States. The players use a combination of cards, which feature figures and events spanning from Early Independence until the Civil War, along with action tokens and the benefits of their role to impact the game.

Players need to strike the right balance between freeing slaves from plantations in the south and raising funds which are desperately needed to allow the group to continue their abolitionist activities as well as strengthen the cause.

The goal is not easy and in addition to people and events that can have a negative impact on the group's progress, there are also slave catchers roaming the board, reacting to the movements of the slaves on the board and hoping to catch the runaway slaves and send them back to the plantations.

Through careful planning and working together, the group might see an end to slavery in their time.

Alex and I will join you for Freedom: The Underground Railroad.

Time to play a Reiner Knizia Classic...

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic97031_md.jpg&hash=db8233101e8c759857e58100e5e5edb3b3a4ee2d)

A lively game of horse racing where players bet on several of seven horses to try to gain the most money by the end of the game. A re-issue by Alea of Knizia's Turf Horse Racing published by Gibsons Games. This edition has better graphics and uses the same mechanism of 4 symbols on the horse cards also appearing on the die. Players roll the die and choose which horse you want to move from those not taken their turn yet. The seven horses vary in strength, but even the weakest horses have some amazing bursts of speed. Players bet on the horses before each race and so either co-operate or compete to get their horses over the line. The circuit is oval, the horses start in a line of seven places, not all together. In the race, they cannot share spaces so a horse can only move to the next available empty space. This can make it easy to block the ones at the back and it's nearly possible to lap the final horse, or end the race before it's even crossed the start line. I've never seen a horse race where they start nose to tail! There is a variant where the betting is done secretly with players using a 0 betting chip (for bluffing) in addition to the 2,1 and 1 betting chips of the basic game. There's also a sprint bonus in the race and a penalty for the last horse. Wear your best Sunday hat, it is time for a day at the races!!!

Any chance you'd run a third game of Rampage, Dana? Lareina and Chris brought it out to Chewsday Challenge on the 14th and it drew a crowd of interested onlookers.

I'd like to run Firefly again. I know Marc Bendig is in...please put us both down and there are two spots open. Long game so start at 6:30 if possible.

Ok, It is time for another Stefan Feld Game:

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1652004.jpg&hash=08e2ef0e04f79daa2b806e9ea3e2eaf5fd3ede87)

Bruges in the 15th century – culture and commerce flourish and make the Belgian Hanseatic city into one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. In Bruges (a.k.a. Brugge or Brügge depending on the country in which you live), players assume the role of merchants who must maintain their relationships with those in power in the city while competing against one another for influence, power and status. Dramatic events cast their shadows over the city, with players needing to worry about threats to their prosperity from more than just their opponents... The game includes 165 character cards, with each card having one of five colors. On a turn, a player chooses one of his cards and performs an action, with six different actions being available: Take workers, take money, mitigate a threat, build a canal, build a house or hire the character depicted on the card. In principle, every card can be used for every action – but the color of the card determines in which areas the actions can be used or the strength of the chosen action, e.g., blue cards provide blue workers and red cards help mitigate red threats. All of the action is geared toward the gathering of prestige, with the most prestigious merchant winning in the end.

I would like to sign up for firefly at 6:30 please

Sign me up for Freedom:The Underground Railroad please.

We will be bringing out another copy of Rampage, so there can be 2 games of Rampage going on at the same time :D I don't know if we'll (Chris and I) be playing it or not, but it's free to be used.

Chris and I will be running a game of Zombicide @ 7:30 with the Toxic City Mall expansion: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgameexpansion/137987/zombicide-toxic-city-mall we can support 6 plus ourselves (so a total of 8) because of there being more survivors available, it'll take roughly 2 hours to play.

Cool stuff, Lareina. We'll run 2 games at 6:30 & 2 at 7:30. I put you and Chris down for the first game.

Now that there is more Rampage in the house, I will park Winner's circle for a future game night and get in on Rampage.  :excited

First timer for Chewsday  :)  I would like to try Zombicide, love everything Zombie so would seem like a good first introduction to Chewsday. I have never played Zombicide before so I hope that doesn't matter, downloading the rules and will get familiar as best I can by tomorrow! Looking forward to my first Chewsday!
