For a long time now, I have been bringing games out last minute to CC to feel a void or niche. I am going to get back to scheduling games that I need to get to teh table. Let's start with...

This is my first play so it will be a learning game. If you are interested, you can always check out Rahdo's Run Through:

I'm bringing out the dice/card drafting/worker placement game Artifacts Inc. to play on Tuesday. It's from designer Ryan Laukat (City of Iron, Ancient World, Above & Below). Players are archaeologists trying to find various artifacts and earn reputation by selling them to museums or completing other tasks. Your adventurers are represented by dice that you manipulate to win (buying cards and using their powers as you go).
It's a fun game and pretty straightforward so everyone's welcome to play. It takes about an hour but with teaching I'd put it at 70min.

I'll.try artifacts
I'm bringing out the game La Granja on Tuesday. Players try and make the best country estate (which happens to be determined by victory points) over 6 rounds. You play cards to your farm either adding fields (producing crops), extensions (getting your more stables, money or crops), market barrows (that you can fill and take to market) or helpers (that give you powers). The neat thing is that every card has all four options (a la Glory to Rome) and you have to decide how best to use it. There's also some dice drafting each round, area control through the market place and bonus tiles that you can get by delivering goods to local businesses. It has a lot of mechanisms going on and they come together in a really great, fun way.
The game plays up to 4 and I'm fine going with the full amount. It has quite a bit to it and is a little heavy so it might not be for everyone. But if you like medium or medium-heavy weight euros then you'll probably dig this (I'm not big on heavier games and I love it). A game takes around 120 minutes but with teaching it will likely add about 15 minutes on top of that.

Also I'll join in tiny epic galaxy's too
Apologies to all for the inconvenience but I have to move St. Petersburg to 8:00 pm.
Also, please sign me up for tiny epic galaxies.
I've added Taj Mahal (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/475/taj-mahal) at 6:30. A few of my gaming resolutions this year were to try the unplayed games in my collection and to play a bunch of Knizia games. Two birds; one stone.
I capped it at 4 players so that it should finish in 90 minutes.
I'll get in on Taj Mahal if you think we'll be done by 8. I'm still in for St. Petersburg!
BGG says 75 - 100 minutes so I capped it at 4 to try and ensure 90 minutes. Plus I tend to take fast turns so I don't think it'll be a worry.
And I just noticed the box says 60 minutes. Taj Mahal in 90 minutes should be no problem.
Hi Ernie for Tag Mahl at 6.30 cool thanks
Ernie
I'll bring Caylus Magna Carta. Apparently it's similar to the Caylus board game, but a bit smaller in scope I guess (I haven't played the board game yet).
Players build their buildings (cards) along a road towards the castle. These buildings can then be used as new income or for extra actions in the following rounds. Players can also build a part of the castle, which will give you points.

Well I'll play St Petersburg
Edited I thought there was a opening but I was wrong
Wow, lots of games on the schedule for prize night! It's going to be a busy one.
I'll take the last spot in Taj Mahal.

Hot of the presses, then the boat, then the truck, then the mail processing warehouses, then... I think you get the picture.

Yeah, it was spot on for me—the expected delivery!
Is anyone looking for a game for around 7:30? Found out my evening is free. Wouldn't mind bringing out something, if I can find interested parties.
Also, speaking of treasure chests, if anyone ended up with extras let me know, I may be interested in them.
I came to cancel my 9 pm Innovation, but I couldn't find it in the list of games. Can a mod fill in what happened? Either way, I'm still cancelling it. I'll put it on for next week.
Not sure what happened, Derek. That duplicate of La Granja is likely a sign I screwed up the copying and pasting...
