The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities. However, as plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment. Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes.

A number of requests have come to me to bring out Trajan. I will run Trajan at 7pm.
The game is currently full (would the requestees please confirm). :)

Wait list please!

Miles and I are confirming

Aff, I will play with gusto!

Omega, I can bring my Canada map for your Power Grid game if you're interested in playing on that?

Bring it along, DC.

Cool, sign me up for Power Grid

I'm going to bring out the classic Tigris and Euphrates. It's for 4 and takes about 90 mins. I'll be starting at 7.

I will make sure to bring out the four player version.

Sign me and Blake up for Tigris. I want to try that one again

The "shufflebuilding" game Smash Up starts with a simple premise: Take the twenty-card decks of two factions, shuffle them into a forty-card deck, then compete to smash more Bases than your opponents! Each faction brings a different game mechanism into play – pirates move cards, zombies bring cards back from the discard pile, dinosaurs have huge power – and every combination of factions brings a different play experience. During play, Base cards (each with their own difficulties and abilities) are in play. You attempt to have the most power on the Base from your minions when the Base is smashed. Sounds easy? How easy is it when an opponent's Alien-Ninja decides to Beam Up your minions to other Bases - flat out Assassinate them? What about when the Pirate-Dinosaur player Full Sails in and releases King Rex to stomp your minions into the ground, or when the Wizard-Zombies use their Mystic Power to create an Outbreak, suddenly flooding minions onto the Base from the discard pile? Or what if you faced a Zombie-Dinosaur player instead and he created an Outbreak of massive beasts all at once?!? When a Base is smashed, each player in first, second and third place scores points. Fourth place? Sorry, bro – try harder next time. With eight different factions, Smash Up includes dozens of combinations to try. Pirate-Aliens play different than Ninja-Aliens, for instance. Which will you use to smash up your opponents? And did we mention the dinosaurs have laser beams?

I'm going to bring Smash Up. Start time is 8:00pm (give or take a few minutes). 4 players. 60 minutes play time.

I totally want to try this game.

Maybe you can do a 2nd one on Tuesday?

If some people are still game at 9:00 I will bring out Boss Monster with the expansion

If Justin and I finish up Smash Up around 9pm we'll join you in Boss Monster, prairieguy.

I'll be there, just waiting to find out what's goin' on in the ol' Risk Legacy League before I figure out whether or not I'ma gonna bring anything.

I'm in for boss monster. Not sure if I'm bringing anything yet. I'll look at my list later.

I am sure we can wait a few minutes Chad - I am not going anywhere   :beer

Boss monster looks really cool.  Not sure what time your showing up tonight prairieguy, but if it's a quick 30 minute game could we fit in a game before Tigris starts at 7?

I will be there by 6 - so sure I could do one then and at 9 as well
