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!
I'll run Kremlin (classic version) at 8:30 for maximum 6 players including me. Lori will also play. Playtime is approximately 90-100 minutes including teaching.

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:
1: The 'original' with fictional politicians, set in a USSR where KGB investigations send those found guilty to Siberia. This version will have victory conditions based on the original Fata Morgana rules.
2: A version inspired by the Avalon Hill variant titled 'Revolution'. Set in the 1920s, it uses historical politicians as well as fictional politicians. It's a more violent game as those arrested by the KGB are shot and removed from the game
3: A new 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.

Jim I would like to play some Kremlin with u
Sign me up, Komrade!
Please sign me up for Kremlin as well! Thanks!
I would also like to get in on Kremlin.
I can bring any of the following:
- Nation: a mighty spark
- Forbidden Island
- Pandemic
- 3:16 Carnage in the Stars
Lori should be added to Kremlin too. Thanks.
I think there was enough interest in Brass this week to warrant bringing it out again next week. So, Brass it is at 6:30. 3-4 players.
Apparently I like suffering so I will play Brass again! :excited
Back for Brass.
I'd like to bring out Phantasy Star Online Card Revolution again. 2 Players, 60 minutes @ 8:30.
Brass? 120 minutes? Is that accurate?

I just took it from BGG. If it's more or less then it can be changed.
I'd put 180 minutes for Brass. It took us well over three hours yesterday.

Yea, 120 minutes would be with 4 people who have played the game quite a bit. It should take us less time than it did yesterday, but 180 minutes would be safer than 120 minutes.
I will bring At the Gates of Loyang to teach anyone that is interested. I think it is an underrated part of the Uwe Rosenberg harvest trilogy. It plays up to 4 and will take 2 hours. Can start at 6:30.
I'm also going to bring out Ticket to Ride Asia for 8:30. If we play the Team Asia version it can play up to 6 and will take about 90 mins.

I'll give it a try.
Guys checking in from Dallas I got mad castles of Ludwig Barry will take a spot 630 4 players if enough interest 830 or 9 I'm sorry Jim I'm out on kremlin
I'm in for Castles of Mad King Ludwig if there is an 8:30 or 9 game. I will still bring Ticket to Ride Asia as a tentative back-up, just in case.
I'll sign up for At the Gates of Loyang at 6:30 as long as I can for sure pull away at 8:30 to run Kremlin.
Thanks!

Sounds good! I don't think time will be an issue.
I am going to bring out The Manhattan Project for 6:30. Plays up to 5 and box says 120 minutes.
Yeah, baby!
I'll bring out Power Grid: 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition for 630!
6 Player 120 Minutes
Dang, I won't be able to make it out this week which is too bad because there are a couple of games I've really been wanting to try (Manhattan Project and Castles of Mad King Ludwig). Hopefully they'll make it to the table another week, soon.
Woot woot, sign me up for Power Grid Deluxe!
I'm going to jump into the 6:30 Castles of Mad King Ludwig.
Could you add Street Disciple (Trent) to the Manhattan Project , thanks !

Me and Jason would be interested in Mahatten Project if you have room for 2
Whoops my mistake, I forgot I have something else to do that night! So I'll be dropping out of castles. Sorry.

Thanks Cordawg! That later time (9 pm) will work for me to play Castles.
Sorry guys, but I am very sick today and not going to make it out tonight. I will have to cancel Power Grid and back out of Kremlin.
I won't be able to make it out tonight so there is now an open space in Brass.

Hope you feel better! To everyone that was signed up for power grid, the only game I brought to the city with me this week is Battlestar Galactica. If you want to play that instead of powergrid I can bring it...or if someone else has another game to bring that would be good too because I am playing BSG next week!
I could bring out Lords of Xidit if anyone is interested. I haven't played it yet, so it would be a learning game for everyone. It needs at least 4 players to play nicely, up to 5. (Thus why I haven't been able to play test it yet, but I've watched a lot of videos.) If people are interested, I could bring it for 6:30 and drop out of Castles. I'll only bring it if there is enough interest.
