What: The ChewsDay Challenge series of events is part of an initiative to host a public weekly game night that is welcoming to new members and is a way for people new to boardgames to experience a beginner friendly atmosphere. A opportunity for people new to designer board games or veterans of the hobby to come out, meet 'n' greet, and play some games.   This is held at a great location with full food and beverage service. Come on out and try some games.

The venue is also a great place for Wargamers and Strategy Gamers to come out and play a game. There are some titles that are hard to get to the table, let's try to get them the attention they deserve at a ChewsDay Challenge.

Where: North Albert St. Boston Pizza (Regina) (http://sask.games/index.php?topic=2043.0)

When: Every ChewsDay night of course, see date on this post for this particular event.

Who: Anyone interested in playing boardgames. The venue is suitable for many different styles of games: (Wargames, Euro Games, Crokinole, Chess, Go, Scrabble, Backgammon, etc.)

Why: Life is Short; Play Games!

Although not necessary, we urge you to post in this thread if you are coming and what games you might bring or would like to play. Prearranging some games helps get some of the harder titles to the table. Perhaps you have seen someone post about a game in THIS THREAD (http://sask.games/index.php?topic=1799.0), this might be an opportunity to get them to bring out the game and show you.

If you are new to the gaming scene in the City of Regina, come on out and meet some others. Feel free to come a bit early and grab a bite to eat. See you there!!!  :excited

Every ChewsDay Challenge, we will have a Game Host on site to teach a game. This is a great way for new players to experience a game in a beginner friendly environment. The Weekly Game will be set up at 6:15pm and players are urged to be there for 6:30. The feature game will start at 6:45pm. Note: A number of us go early (5ish) to grab a bite to eat, you are welcome to join us.

There are lots of people bringing games out to play on ChewsDay Challenge Game Nights. To help attendees maximize their gaming experience we can help schedule games into slots for planning purposes. Post in the thread if you want to schedule a game and have folks sign up in advance. There are TWO basic time slots for this. 6:30pm time slot and 8:30pm. This is the start time for these games. They will be set up earlier. If you sign up for a game, please be there at least 15 minutes prior to start or your seat may be given to someone else. This is not mandatory, casual open gaming is still very much encouraged as well. Whether you wish to plan your game night or just show up and play it by ear, game on...

Game description from the publisher:

Legends of Andor is a cooperative adventure board game for two to four players in which a band of heroes must work together to defend a fantasy realm from invading hordes. To secure Andor's borders, the heroes will embark on dangerous quests over the course of five unique scenarios (as well as a final scenario created by the players themselves). But as the clever game system keeps monsters on the march toward the castle, the players must balance their priorities carefully.

At the heart of Legends of Andor is its unique narrative, the linked scenarios of which tell an overarching story as the players successfully complete objectives. For each scenario, or "Legend", a legend deck conveys the plot of an ever-unfolding tale...one in which the players are the protagonists. A wooden marker moves along the board's legend track at key points during each scenario, triggering the draw of a new legend card, the introduction of new game-altering effects, and the advancement of the story's plot. In the end, the players must endeavor to guide the fate of Andor through their heroic actions, bringing a happy ending to their epic fantasy tale.

Will their heroes roam the land completing quests in the name of glory, or devote themselves to the defense of the realm? Uncover epic tales of glory as you live the Legends of Andor!

Marc, since Legends of Andor filled up so fast and there is still lots of call for Small World I scheduled you for 6:30. Can you run a Sttlers at 8pm as well?

Yes, yes I can. I also have another player for Catan, her name is Colleen.

I would play in settlers

Hi,

Please put Becky and myself down for Small World at 6:30.  How long will it take, do you think, to teach & play?

Small World should be about an hour and a half.

i'll try to be there... an as such will fill in any spots not yet filled then.

OK, in that case, as there was such interest in Betrayal at House on the Hill, I will bring that with aim of playing after Small World.  It can seat up to 6 players, and with teaching should also be about 90 minutes; the link for the game is here:

We can either make a sign-up, or just go with whoever's there at the time...whatever's best!

Damien & Becky

Sign me up for Betrayal at House on the Hill please!

Sign me up for the 6:30 Small World please.

You've been added.

I'll be the Chewsday Challenge Ambassador again this week and am looking forward to the event once again. We will be drawing name for the door prize so if you want to win you have to attend this Chewsday Challenge.

I'm going to bring Flash Point: Fire Rescue and hope to get it on the table early in the evening. My son and I have logged a half dozen games since Christmas and we have yet to win so I'm hoping to give this a whirl at Chewsday Challenge to try some new strategies. From BoardGameGeek.com: "Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a cooperative game of fire rescue. All the players are on the same team and everyone either wins or loses together. To win, the players must rescue the victims trapped inside a burning building before the fire gets out of control or the building collapses."

Looks like I'll be making it down. I wouldn't mind getting in on Smallworld, although if there are people that show up that'd be interested in playing, I could always give up my spot, since I've played it quite a bit. Since there's also already two full games at 8:00 PM, I can also bring small world/underground (I really can't get enough of that game lol) and castle ravenloft. One thing I've discovered about that game is that all the events make it super intense, which can be a bit stressful, but in retrospect, I kinda like it.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night. I will be winging it. (Uncharacteristic for me). :)

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out for tonight due to illness.
