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!

GAME TITLE: Progress: Evolution of Technology (https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/140717/progress-evolution-technology)

This is a civilization styled card game that's all about the tech-tree. Age I starts with the invention of things like the wheel and writing, progresses through Age II with windmills and the printing press, builds to Age III with factories and steam engines and gradually ends up in Age IV with automobiles and oil extraction. The art is super delicious in this one but as per most civ-type games there are decisions to be made that lead to longer play times although I think it will depend quite a bit on the individual players.
prairieguy and Bricktown will be playing Twilight Struggle @ 5:00
I'll play Progress.
I'll play progress
I am excited to get my new Kickstarter to the table - I am going to play with Nicole first and then if anyone else would be interested I will post a second game @ 8:30
If I am wrong about the time it takes for me to lose Twilight struggle then I will move this to 8:00. Nicole - if you get there at 6:30 and my butt isn't kicked by then I will be surprised. If you would rather book something at 6:30 go ahead and we can move this until 8:00

Bricktown had a good Twilight Struggle mentor ;) An early war victory is possible, especially if he rolls USSR.
I'm going to bring out the new, pepper-growing game Scoville to play. In this "hot" game (see what I did there) players are pepper farmers trying to grow and cross-breed the hottest peppers in the town of Scoville (named after the Scoville Scale for measuring the heat of a pepper). The peppers players grow are either replanted to grow different peppers, sold at the market to earn money, points & other peppers or used in recipes at the chili cook-off (the hotter the recipe the more points they're worth). The game features pepper meeples in the various colours that are actually "planted" in to holes in the board.
Everyone's welcome to play as I'll start by teaching the game. And while the game plays up to 6, we'll keep it to 5 players for length and so we don't spread out, too much. Speaking of length, the box says 60min but after playing it I'd say 90-120min is more accurate with new players.

Really want to try that one. It's been on my to-buy list for a while since I saw the Kickstarter for it. You'll have to bring it out again sometime, as I'd like to try it but I'm already scheduled.

If there's still a free spot in Progress: Evolution of Technology, could I get signed up for it please.
I would like to join Carsiccone and CO2 this week please. I have played both before. (Great Games).
I'm in for Quantum
I'd like to sign up for Carcassonne please!

If there's a lot of interest we can push to 8 players, but that slows the game down a lot (especially when teaching) so I'd like to cap it at 6.
me and Jason would be up for Carcassonne if you have room for 2 more
I'm in for Robo Rally. If anyone else is looking for hair-pulling carnage centered around deceptive simplicity you should sign up too! It's always a riot, especially when your opponent finds his poor little robot in a scrap heap in the corner somewhere.

I have an emergency trip out of province tomorrow and sadly will have to miss games night. Can you take me off of Scoville and free my spot for someone else?
Thanks!
Robert Kuster will join scoville and quantum
sign me up for tokaido
Going to try to make it out to my first chewsday challenge tomorrow night! I'm going to bring Acquire and XCOM (I know, two different sides of the fence) around 8-8:30 PM, if anyone wants to join great, otherwise I'll try to sit in with someone else.
See you there!

I won't be able to play (scheduled for something else) but I brought Acquire a month or so ago and we had a blast. If you wanted to run it another night I'd be happy to join in.
Put me in for Tokaido at 7:30.

Let me know if you want to set a starting time for 1 or both of these and they could be put on the schedule. I'd also need the player counts and game length. If you want to just play it by ear that's cool too.
I'd like to try XCOM some time but tomorrow likely won't work for me. Hopefully you'll bring it out again!
I didn't realize XCOM was out already... I don't know if I'll be able to join this time, but I'm definitely interested in checking it out.

Me and 2 buddies are going to bring arkham horror as we love it and have spent a ton of time learning it over the last month. we want to run the table with 5 so we have room for two more people.
I'm really sorry but I got sick over the weekend and unfortunately, despite a lot of medication, I'm still pretty sick. So I'm not going to be able to make it, tonight, and will have to cancel Scoville. Sorry again to everyone who signed up - I was really looking forward to it. I'll bring it out another time, soon.

Sorry to hear it. Hope you feel better.
Since nobody has signed up for Pastiche yet, I can bump that up to 6:30 if people were interested. Or I can bring out Five Tribes or Dead of Winter for 6:30 instead.
I'll play tokaido

I think it was Matt, Cordawg, Robere and you that were signed up for Scoville so hopefully a few of those guys will speak up to find a replacement.

Don't reserve a spot for me, if it fills up that's fine. But if you still have space at 6:30, I'll see where he's at in the Twilight Struggle.

I'm going to play it by ear since I don't know exactly when I'm going to be there, aiming for somewhere between 8 and 8:30 if the kids co-operate and go to bed :)
Go ahead if you want Nicole - I can wait until you are done
I will jump into Compounded if there is still room. Thanks.
