What, Jim's teaching games in three consecutive weeks?  Is the world upside down?

I really like economic games, and this is a good one I got after a screaming sale on Amazon.com ($19!) and a recommendation from the #boardgames chat channel on IRC (Freenode server).  It's a stock-based railroad game, like 1830, but with a much shorter play time and gentler learning curve.  Build rail networks across the eastern US from the east coast toward Chicago.  Chicago has special value if someone can build into there, but there are only so many routes and you only have so much track-laying capacity.  The more money companies raise through stock auctions, the more money they'll have for track development.  Whatever player has the most money at the end of the game wins.

Play time is about an hour or so, but we'll budget 90 minutes so we have lots of time for teaching.

The game can take up to six but I'd like to have a table of 4 or 5 to keep the play time reasonable and keep the game at what seems to be its best count.

Ill play chicago express jim

In for Chicago Express!

Darrin and Cory,

I've double booked myself for this night - I can still run the game but it would have to be at 8:30.  (I might be ready as soon as 8 but it's a little in question.)

Does it bother you if I reschedule Chicago Express until 8:00?  Please confirm.  I'd like to keep you in the game :)

Jim

I'm good at 8:30 so I can get a game in at 6:30.

Im good at 830  jim

Thanks Cory and Darrin!

Plague, Inc. is an area control game where each player plays as a vicious pathogen trying to evolve into the ultimate virus/bacteria.  Players take turns evolving their particular strains using DNA points, and then spreading to various countries in an effort to dominate and score them.  It's easy to describe this as reverse-Pandemic, but it's more about area control mechanics than it is about spending action points. Inspired by the famous Flash / PC game.

I'll sign up for Plague Inc, please.

Plague Inc please!

Hi Can you sign me up for Plague INc. at 815pm please Morley

No love for Aliens?

Ah well, pull it and I will figure something else out :)

I'd like to try Pandemic, if there is still room.

Everybody be careful the roads out there are crazy icy

Sorry, y'all. I'm going to stay home tonight. Stay safe out there!

I'm sorry him and Darren I dont want to risk a accident my car has no traction I won't be able to show up tonight

So sorry for the last minute response, but I am running super late due to the weather and will not be able to make it out tonight. Please remove me from Pandemic.

Sorry, folks, Laoldar and JRobot won't be out for Plague Inc tonight due to the roads.  Drive safe, all.

I'll play Buffy Legendary pls.

I hope everyone takes their time going home tonight, it seems to be getting icier as the temp drops! :excited :o

Brad et al. I may be a few minutes late as I have to basically chip my way into the car   ::)

I hope all 32 of you made it home safely without any fender-benders! Pretty impressive turnout in spite of the curling rink conditions.

Hopefully the roads will be a lot better by Saturday to see you all at PGX!

The problem was not getting from Boston Pizza to home... it was getting from the car to the front door!
(Yes, great turnout last night given the conditions)
