If you would like to schedule a game. Please post in this event thread with the following information:
Name of the game, when you would like to start, The duration of the game, and the number of players it can accommodate.

I'll bring Among the Stars w/Ambassadors expansion for 8:30 - 4 Players 90-120 minutes.   

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.artipiagames.com%2Fats%2FAtS_small.jpg&hash=7422bf13b9cb183aeb65f9d0195f708457fb69dd)

Among the Stars takes place in a war-ravaged galaxy where the warring alien races have declared peace in the wake of a threat with the potential to destroy them all. An Alliance is established to build space stations throughout the galaxy in order to promote trade among the races, strengthen diplomatic relations, and defend against this impending threat. Each player takes the role of one of those races trying to build the greatest space station. Through card drafting, the players select locations, and use these to build their station, scoring victory points based on the placement. The construction lasts four years, and alien race with the most points at the end wins. The Ambassadors: In order to assist in the construction of their space stations, each race has formed a team of ambassadors to visit other space stations in need. These ambassadors are willing to offer their services and strengthen the bonds of the newly-formed alliance. These ambassadors are introduced in the game with the addition of a fourth action that allows the players to invite them to their station and make them part of their Council. Each ambassador comes with a different ability, based on his race's strengths and capabilities. However, there is limited space in each player's Council so they have to choose wisely who they are going to invite.

Can't decide what to bring out for this week.

Any suggestions or requests?

If you still have Alea Iacta Est in your collection I'd really like to try it but Nov 4 and Nov 11 don't work for me so maybe a more distant Chewsday?

I'm not sure of the footprint of either of these games, so they may not be CC-friendly, but I'd love to try Endeavor, Stronghold or Bora Bora at 8:30. 

I'll try Among the Stars.

Just received my copy and can't wait to play! to the Table reviews calls it the "Best co-op game ever!"  Plays 2 - 7 6:30 start

Imagine that you are one of the crew in your favorite science fiction TV show. Now imagine that in the last 10 minutes of the show things have gone so badly that the captain is dead, and you and a member of your crew have to pull together and save the day yourselves! The Captain is Dead is a co-op game for 2 to 7 players. All you have to do is get the ship's engines (aka "Jump Core") back online and you win; but because there is a hostile alien ship trying to destroy you, that is easier said than done. You have an impressive star ship full of useful systems that will help you fend off the aliens, and get the Jump Core back online. Each system gives you an advantage while it remains online. The assault from the hostile alien ship tends to keep knocking those systems offline however. So you need to balance your time between keeping the ships system's online, fending off the alien threat, and completing your objective. Each member of your crew has special abilities and skills. You need to work as a group to maximize the potential of each role. If someone tries to be a hero, you'll all die.

I'll give that a shot at 6:30 Murray, looks pretty good.


I will run Endeavor afterwards.

8:30 start

I set it for 90 - I am playing on Wednesday so I will have a better idea [first time] but f we get 7 I would think the 90 makes sense

I'm in for Endeavor.  Thanks for bringing it out, Colin!

I will join Endeavour too

I'll play The Captain is Dead.

Beam me up! I'll try captain is dead.

in for the captain is dead

I'll take the last spot for the captain is dead. Also  it's the first Tuesday of the month which means it's draw night!

My friend Barry and I will take the last spots for Endeavor.  Barry assures me he will show up this time.  :D

Please mark me down for Among The Stars - I've been wanting to try out the expansion.

I'll take Barry's spot if he cancels again!  ;)

I picked up a couple of shorter games so I figured I may as well bring them both out.

First up is the recent Spiel des Jahres winner Camel Up. This is a fun family game, fairly light, that involves racing wooden camels around a desert track and betting on which will finish a leg first or finish the whole race first (or one of several other ways to win money throughout the game). The movement of the camels is mainly determined by dice coming out of a "dice pyramid" (though there are other ways to have an impact on the camels) and if camels land on the same space they land on each other and form a stack. Then when a camel lower in the stack moves forward, it takes the rest of the stack with it.

It can handle up to 8 players but I'm going to keep it to 6. Fortunately its footprint is fairly small. It's really quick to learn so everyone's welcome to give it a try.

(6 players, 30+ minutes at 6:30)

Next is the card and dice game Machi Koro. Nicole was nice enough to bring it out a few weeks ago and I enjoyed it so I got a copy, too. Each player develops their own city by purchasing buildings and sites as shown on the cards you get. Rolls of the dice activate the cards you have or those of other players to make you either gain or lose money. You're trying to get enough money to build the larger landmarks - be the first to complete them all and you win.

This one is also quick to learn and play.

(4 players, 30+ minutes at 7:30)

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1918028_md.jpg&hash=37f99358350b248eaba54e99fe4215c6aeb538a1) Witness the craziest camel race of all time, as things really go topsy-turvy when camels stack up and entire pyramids turn upside down. As members of Egyptian high society, you gather in the desert with one simple goal: to gain the most money by backing the right camel to win a leg or even the entire race. However, in this race, it's not just the lucky ones who can beat the odds. Reading the dynamics of the race and having a good sense of timing is just as important when it comes to backing the right camels and taking the victory. Camel Up is a simple, quick and outrageously exciting family game that can be enjoyed by up to 8 players.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1992476_md.jpg&hash=edc207e772f9978126622763b741452257fea423) Welcome to the city of Machi Koro. You've just been elected Mayor. Congrats! Unfortunately the citizens have some pretty big demands: jobs, a theme park, a couple of cheese factories and maybe even a radio tower. A tough proposition since the city currently consists of a wheat field, a bakery and a single die. Armed only with your trusty die and a dream, you must grow Machi Koro into the largest city in the region. You will need to collect income from developments, build public works, and steal from your neighbors' coffers. Just make sure they aren't doing the same to you!

I would like to add Island Fortress to the schedule for 6:30.  I haven't played it for a while and I don't think it has been brought out to a Chewsday before.   It plays up to 6 but I will cap it at 4 for space and time purposes.  I will also toss in the promo card expansion that adds secret scoring goals for the players.  It should take 2 hours to play.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1342730_md.jpg&hash=2a90944d7c07a5f9a010129c411d8053d5334ad4) In Island Fortress, you play a master builder chosen by Governor Cortland Hansen to help construct the mighty Fort Aldenford using the penal colony on Alcott Island. Your goal is to become the most distinguished architect with the help of your Taskmaster, Workers, and the Governor himself! In the game, all players use identical decks of five Role Cards to plot their actions such as purchasing workers, building the wall, collecting money from the treasury, and more. In addition to scoring points for having built the majority of blocks on each row of the fortress wall, players can also gain various bonuses for completing favors for the Governor by building the walls in specific ways, following the Governor's preferred patterns.

I'll be hosting some X-Wing for hopefully a 7:30 start to secure a round table or two if the restaurant clears out by then.  There are some out of town players who would like to play a few games.

I'll take the last spot in amoung the stars

I will sign up for Camel Up at 6:30 and Machi Koro at 7:30.  I would like to bring out a couple short to play games for after that; One Night Ultimate Werewolf at 8:30 for sure and then I will just put up a players wanted sign for the rest when we are done that.

I'm bringing out Risk Legacy for 7:30 as long at least 2 other people from the League make it out/sign up.

...I probably won't be in attendance otherwise.

I'm in for Risk Legacy

I would like to sign up for Camel Up and X-Wing Miniatures please.

Should have mentioned start time lol. Starting Blood Feud In New York at 630

Could you sign me up for camel up?

May have to cancel again this week, arthritis in ankle flared up again.

Not definite, just giving a heads up to those I am signed up with to not wait for me if they don't see me.

I'll take Colin's spot in the captains dead if he doesn't show up

Sorry, I am going to have to bail again this week.  My wife is feeling unwell so I have to stay home and watch the kids.
