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 picked up the new hidden-movement game Specter Ops and am bringing it out on Tuesday. One player is an Agent infiltrating an enemy base, attempting to get some enemy intel and get out in a certain number of turns. The rest of the players are Hunters trying to capture the Agent. Each Hunter is a different character with different powers and there's also a choice of Agent characters with different powers. Add onto that a variety of devices/equipment that the Agent has and it's basically Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game (which I think is great).
Additionally, in a 5-player game one of the Hunters is a traitor, secretly helping the Agent. And that's the version we're going to play (if we can get 5 players).
This is a teaching game so everyone's welcome to play (since I just got it I'm pretty new to it, too). Playing time is a little open depending on how quickly the agent is caught or not.

I'm in like sin. Nicole... you may not want to sit to my left... it has never been lucky for you. Either way, I think my guild will take it in the finale.
It is on like Donkey Kong! On the one hand, I feel like Tyler needs to experience the wrath of your rolls... on the other hand I feel like you are telling me to move to deceive me. You've weighted the dice, haven't you?
Please put myself and jkokura down for X-Wing at 7:30. Will need to reserve one of the large round tables to play.

No way, I've felt plenty of wrath. I vote we start using an incompetent dice-rolling robot.

I picked up the new hidden-movement game Specter Ops and am bringing it out on Tuesday.
Love to play but I don't think I'll be able to be awake -another Tuesday in the near future?
Please add Logan to Vinhos. Thanks.

Of course, I'd be happy to bring it out again.
I would like to give Specter Ops a try
Me and Jason would be interested in Race for the Galaxy. We've played the dice version before so we have a vague idea of how things work, curious to see how the regular one works
Just so the ambassador knows the ComicReaders crew will be out in full force to do a Magic Booster Draft. There will be 8plus of us.
Please put my name down for Specter Ops.
Jay is no longer able to make it tomorrow to play Vinhos. Please remove him from the list.
I just picked up Cthulhu Wars and definitely want to play it:

I will also sign up for Koi Pond.
Ooh! Ooh! Cthulhu Wars! I'm in.

Ooh! Ooh! Cthulhu Wars! I'm in.
Hahaha I figured you might be. I'm on a Lovecraft kick!
I figure I'll have more luck defeating an elder god if I myself am an elder god rather than just some schmuck with a train ticket.
Sign me up for Race for the Galaxy
Please sign me up for Cthulhu Wars
HI. I will occupy one of the seats for race for the galaxy. Thanks!
I'll play Koi Pond before Race for the Galaxy. That's a solid night :)
John said he'll jump into Koi Pond
There is a chance the Mrs. (Corinne) may now have to work this evening. If that happens I will likely bring some shorter, less complex games to play instead. However, I was also wondering if anyone had some version of Summoner Wars they wouldn't mind bringing out for myself and Logan to possibly try out. I have the Ipad version and have always wanted to try the real version. If someone wouldn't mind bringing a copy that would be awesome.
