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.

Due to the overwhelming success of ChewsDay Challenge we might need to limit table space in the early evening if attendance is high and the restaurant is busy. We ask that larger-sized games be planned for 7:30 and later after Boston Pizza's dinner rush when we can spill out into the dining area, if needed, and with the restaurant's permission.  Please be considerate when choosing your table area to maximize player density. Thank you for helping make ChewsDay Challenge a success!

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic2000680_md.jpg&hash=b302c6370ebbf0a210184c42bfe798313df92ec1)

I've just gotten Imperial Settlers and would like to bring it out to teach at 6:30. This will be 4 players approx 120 minutes.  If there's enough interest I could run it again at 8:30/9:00 "Settlers from four major powers of the world have discovered new lands, with new resources and opportunities.  The Romans, Barbarians, Egyptians and Japanese all move there to expand the boundaries of their empires. They build new buildings to strengthen their economy, they found mines and fields to gather resources, and they build barracks and training grounds to train soldiers. Soon after they discover that this land is far too small for everybody, then the war begins... Imperial Settlers is a card game that lets players lead one of the four factions and build empires by placing buildings, then sending workers to those buildings to acquire new resources and abilities. The game is played over five rounds during which players take various actions in order to explore new lands, build buildings, trade resources, conquer enemies, and thus score victory points. The goal of the game is to have the most Victory Points, earned by expanding your empire and hindering your opponents. During the game, players can gain Victory Points (VP) in various ways: from deals they  make, from actions they take, and from Location features. The Locations that become part of a player's Empire are also worth Victory Points. At the end of the game, players add the VP value of their Locations to their current VP score to reach their total score. The player with the most VP has built the greatest empire and wins the game." Silent_Rob and PhotoJim should be listed for 6:30 (both to confirm in this thread)

Putting out the call for Risk Legacy League, I will be there

I'm in for Imperial Settlers at 6:30.  If you are open to the same people playing twice, then I'd like to play it at 8:30 as well.

I would love to play Imperial Settlers as well.  Sign me up for 6:30!

Imperial Settlers at 630!

I would like to teach a new game I bought.

CO2 at 830
2-5 Players
120 minutes

It will be a first run for me.



In the 1970s, the governments of the world faced unprecedented demand for energy, and polluting power plants were built everywhere in order to meet that demand. Year after year, the pollution they generate increases, and nobody has done anything to reduce it. Now, the impact of this pollution has become too great, and humanity is starting to realize that we must meet our energy demands through clean sources of energy. Companies with expertise in clean, sustainable energy are called in to propose projects that will provide the required energy without polluting the environment. Regional governments are eager to fund these projects, and to invest in their implementation.

If the pollution isn't stopped, it's game over for all of us.

In the game CO₂, each player is the CEO of an energy company responding to government requests for new, green power plants. The goal is to stop the increase of pollution, while meeting the rising demand for sustainable energy — and of course profiting from doing so. You will need enough expertise, money, and resources to build these clean power plants. Energy summits will promote global awareness, and allow companies to share a little of their expertise, while learning still more from others.

In CO₂, each region starts with a certain number of Carbon Emissions Permits (CEPs) at its disposal. These CEPs are granted by the United Nations, and they must be spent whenever the region needs to install the energy infrastructure for a project, or to construct a fossil fuel power plant. CEPs can be bought and sold on a market, and their price fluctuates throughout the game. You will want to try to maintain control over the CEPs.

Money, CEPs, Green Power Plants that you've built, UN Goals you've completed, Company Goals you've met, and Expertise you've gained all give you Victory Points (VPs), which represent your Company's reputation – and having the best reputation is the goal of the game ... in addition to saving the planet, of course.

All my dreams are coming true.  Count me in for CO2!

Can you two (Brandon and Ryan) flip to 8:30 and do Brandon's game at  6:30?

I had set 6:30 (with Jim and tentatively Rob from the bottom of my original post)
Lori

Silent_Rob
Scuudz

So 8:30 could be
Lori
Omegadirective
Rosencrantz
Scuudz

Thanks very much, Lori - I'm confirmed for 630.

Im ok with CO2 at 630 and Imperial Settlers at 830.

Rosencrantz? You ok with that?

Absolutely. 

I will try CO2

A few of us gave CO2 a go last night. Its a cool game. Neat dynamic for building green power plants and moving your "scientists". I'm totally looking forward to playing it again!

I'll sign up for CO2!  One of my friends was just asking about this game so I have to try it!  I will also bring Battlestar Galactica for after CO2.  3-6 players, 180 minutes.  If anyone who signs up has an expansion to BSG I would love to try one!

I have been dying to try Battlestar so I am signing up!

Please sign me up for Battlestar Galactica, too. Though I've never played before - hope that's all right.

That's fine!  If you want, there is a couple brief tutorials on youtube.  If you don't have time, that's fine!  I have taught this game a couple times at chewsday challenge so all is good  :) 

I'll play BSG. So will my bud Shane.

I'll jump into BSG

I had a lot of people interested in Kremlin last week so I'll run it again at 8:30 pm.  This time I'll run the Modern (third) version.  Maximum six players; playtime about 105 minutes.

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1787203_t.jpg&hash=9df4ad7bea9c62b46bae98b5a68744a7da2daef6)

Kremlin A game of political intrigue set in the Soviet Politburo. The game consists of a large number of politician cards, some of which form the first politburo. Politicians have certain stats (preferred offices, for instance) and an age. At the start of the game, the players secretly note influence on ten politicians, graded from 10 (most) to 1 (least). Gameplay is not clockwise, but happens from top to bottom in the politburo. Whatever action the politician in a certain office can take is done by the player who reveals the greatest influence on the politician in question. Actions include accusing other politicians of espionage (potentially exiling them to Siberia), pardoning them, reshuffling the politburo and others. But each action a politician takes lets him (or in one case, her) age by one or more years. Once a turn each politburo member must face a health roll which can result in sickness marker or even instant death (the older, the most likely). At the end of each turn, the reigning head of state must wave to the crowd at the October parade without collapsing (which gets harder the sicker the politician is). A politician who succeeds in this three times makes the player who controls him/her the winner. The original Fata Morgana edition included rules requiring the players to hold funeral speeches for deceased party chairmen and drinking vodka with it, for instance. The later Avalon Hill edition scrapped these rules and gave the game a less satirical and more serious tone. The Jolly Roger edition provides three different KREMLIN games in one box but we'll be playing the new "modern" version, set in the modern USSR and Russia, an era of entrenched bureaucracy and alternatives for escaping KGB persecution. This version introduces the concept of "Going into Exile" to avoid Siberia. It also includes modern politicians from the 1960s onwards, whether it is Kosygin or Putin and Gorbachev.

sign me up for kremlin

Sign me up for Kremlin as well! Thanks!

Put me on the kremlin list as a maybe since risk legacy might  b done by then

You know people liked Kremlin when two of the people who played it yesterday want to play it again this week.  :)

I told Lori that while I'm a competitive gamer and I really like winning, Kremlin is one of the games where I can lose and still have a blast.  Last night was certainly one of those times.  I turned the game upside down at one point with a play I made but I still lost.  :)

Given last night's time experience, let's change the runtime of Kremlin to 150 minutes.  See you next week!

I'm going to bring Lords of Xidit back again. Had a blast this week playing it. Needs at least 4 players, up to 5. (120 minutes @ 6:30)

(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic2074460_md.jpg&hash=c598d3f8f81773c72ccb7fb0c7e64c7544cf955f)

The Black Southern Host has arisen, corrupting the hearts of the indigenous creatures. Afflicted by a mysterious sickness, they are attacking human cities. The last remaining hope for restoring peace to Xidit lies with the Kingdom's noble heirs, the Idrakys. As one of them, you must roam the Kingdom recruiting brave soldiers and reclaiming threatened cities. Your bravery will not go unrewarded: accumulate wealth, send bards to sing your praises, and build Sorcerers' Guilds! Lords of Xidit features simultaneous programming and an elimination-based scoring system that leaves no room for complacency! In more detail, at the end of the game players compare their influence in one category and the player with the least influence is eliminated and his pieces removed from the board; players then compare influence in another category, with a player again being removed. The order of elimination is randomly determined at the start of play, forcing you to thinking in different ways each game. Prepare to ride out, Idrakys, and forge your legend!

We can wait 5 or 10 minutes but we'll have to start at 8:40 if you're not ready.  Hopefully you can make it.

Unfortunately I'm no longer able to make it out.  Please remove me from CO2 and Imperial Settlers.   Hopefully these games will be brought out again.

I'll take both of Rosencrantz's vacated spots (CO2 at 6:30 and Imperial Settlers at 8:30).  Thanks.

My buddy Shane can't make it out now so there is an open spot on BSG.

I'd like to teach a game of Cadwallon: City of Thieves with the expansion(The King of Ashes). It is a 4 player game so with myself & Bellis(please confirm), the game is open to 2 more players. I'm hoping to start by 7:30 but I will be there earlier to go over the rules if anyone hasn't played the game before. BGG has a 60 minute time for the game but it will be more like 90-120 if it's the first time playing the game. See you on Tuesday.

I couldn't make it last draw night (I was in Toronto) and I would have won.  Sucked.  :)

I will run a game of Suburbia with the Inc. expansion at 6:30 for 2 to 4 players, estimated playtime of about 90 minutes

The league is meeting for Risk Legacy.  Not a lot of games left, should have a clear leader soon.

I will bring the game Splendor, it is an easy game to learn, but a challenge to win. It is a four player game, takes about 30 minutes, A 6:30 start

My nephew Nate will now be kicking our butt in BSG. Guaranteed Cylon, folks.

No problem Barry. I ran a game on the weekend just to get a bit of a refresher myself. Hopefully we can get 1-2 more. I've only ever played it with 2 so I'd like to see how it plays with more. I'm assuming it would be a bit more intense & add to the game play & play time of course. See you tomorrow.

Sign me up for Cadwallon

I will be bringing Colt Express tonight.

6:30pm Start
With setup, teaching, etc - total time should be an hour
The game can accommodate 6 players and there are two spots open.

Can you please sign me up for CO2 at 6:30pm?

I would love to take a spot for Colt Express! Also, I will bring Ragami for 8:30, first time play through, looks interesting! 2-4 Players.

Can you sign myself and Nicole Dimen up for Kremlin at 830 please?
