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.
I'm going to bring the game I kickstarted about a year ago. Its based on the web comic Dr. McNinja which I really enjoy. I played it a couple times last week and its a fun game with awesome art and humour. There are crazy characters such as Vengeful Dolphin and RoboDracula as well as fun weapons and moves you can use to power up your team or hurt your opponents. 2-6 players, I'm guessing about an hour and a half for 6 players but I'm not really sure.
(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic2098627_md.jpg&hash=a19d01ee5fe08376702cadc467a21907e3031657) | Players engage in outrageous battles featuring the best characters, weapons, and mustaches from the Dr. McNinja universe. Legendary Showdown combines strategy, timing, and wit to create hilarious battles with surprise endings. You will use cards like Chainsaw Nunchucks, Anti-zombie Suit, Mustache of Authority, and Critical Strike to create a battle plan. If you reveal your strategy too early, someone could pre-empt it; however, if you wait too long you might miss your chance. You can add secret bonuses to your characters to raise the stakes or sabotage your opponents' characters with lousy weapons. You can mess with your opponents' lines to give yourself the best advantage. At the end of the round, the player with the most points wins. Surviving characters are placed in the back of the line and a new battle begins. The player with the last character standing wins!

Aw, I love Dr.McNinja, but it's Risk Legacy night (presumably) ...if you bring this game out again, I will play it.
I'm going to be bringing Krosmaster Arena out for 8:30-9pm. (4 Players, 120 min.)
(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1573355_md.png&hash=6ee892e7d2d6f547d10112759646269c3a80e4ff) |
Krosmaster: Arena is a player-vs-player, tactical card game with anime-style miniatures that offers the craftiest tacticians among you the chance to challenge other players to heated battles in arenas scattered around Hormonde. All players build their team using a pre-determined method, whether a point system, draft, or at random. Equip your team with spells, weapons and other items adapted to their requirements, then utilize their various talents and abilities to create a powerful fighting force. Every figure has a point value attached to it to help balance things out. Randomly drawn event cards spice up the game at each turn, and the winning conditions differ for each game based on the scenario you choose to play. Only those who are able to create a strong, yet versatile, strategy will prevail!

Since I couldn't make it last night and therefore missed out on Dead of Winter, I am going to bring it out (again) for 6:30. As before, plays up to 5 and will probably take 2 hours.
I'm also bringing a friend who wants to try the game out, so please add myself and Jay to the list. I'm not going to schedule a later game, but if there is interest I can certainly stick around for a second game.
I'd be up for continuing on with my character from last time so please mark me down for Mice & Mystics.
I will be bringing a classic (or so I have been told): El Grande! It plays up to five, and it will start at 6:30. Because this will be my first play, I expect it will take about 2 hours. Those with experience of the game are welcome, but it is not necessary.
Due to tonights rain my football game has been moved to Tuesday so I will have to move Mice and Mystics to the following week - sorry
There are 3 of us that would be very interested in a game of dead of winter!! Can we play with you guys? I also am bringing ultimate werewolf!

Excellent. Teach everyone for the up coming Power Grid PGX tournament!
Yeah, please mark me down for Power Grid at 830. And Dr. McNinja looks fun so sign me up for it at 630, please.
I'll jump in for Power Grid. I've played a couple times but not in a couple years now.
I've just gotten Istanbul and would like to bring it out for 6:30. It will only be my 2nd play of the game so other new players are more than welcome. Plays 2-5 in about 90 minutes with teaching.
(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1885326_t.jpg&hash=4773474efdedb78bc4bc12b6beeb6edd0d563ab3) | "There's hustle and bustle at Istanbul's grand bazaar as merchants and their assistants rush through the narrow alleys in their attempt to be more successful than their competitors. Everything must be well organized: wheelbarrows must be filled with goods at the warehouses, then swiftly transported by the assistants to various destinations. Your goal? Be the first merchant to collect a certain number of rubies.
In Istanbul, you lead a group of one merchant and four assistants through 16 locations in the bazaar. At each such location, you can carry out a specific action. The challenge, though, is that to take an action, you must move your merchant and an assistant there, then leave the assistant behind (to handle all the details while you focus on larger matters). If you want to use that assistant again later, your merchant must return to that location to pick him up. Thus, you must plan ahead carefully to avoid being left with no assistants and thus unable to do anything...
In more detail, on a turn you move your merchant and his retinue of assistants one or two steps through the bazaar, either leave an assistant at that location or collect an assistant left earlier, then perform the action. If you meet other merchants or certain individuals at the location, you might be able to take a small extra action. Possible actions include:
Paying to increase your wheelbarrow capacity, which starts the game with a capacity of only two for each good. Filling your wheelbarrow with a specified good to its limit. Acquiring a special ability, and the earlier you come, the easier they are to collect. Buying rubies or trading goods for rubies. Selling special combinations of goods to make the money you need to do everything else.
When a merchant has collected five rubies in his wheelbarrow, players complete that round, then the game ends. If this player is the only one who's reached this goal, he wins immediately; otherwise ties are broken by money in hand." |

FYI: This game won the Kennerspiel des Jahres 2014.
Putting out the call for Risk legacy gathering.
Let's do this :excited
:) in for risk
I'll go for Istanbul. I love Turkey. Especially with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Confirmed for Risk Legacy
I will bring Lords of Waterdeep with the Scoundrels of Skullport expansion for 6:30 & 2-6 players. Also, Bricktown and I are looking for 2 more players for a 100 pt. X-Wing game to start around 8:30 or 9pm. We will be teaching the game and splitting up into teams of 2 vs. 2, so no experience is necessary.
Please sign me up for:
Istanbul (6:30)
Power Grid (8:30)
Everything is updated. Lots of gaming at 6:30! Sign up now!!!!!
I'm interested in X-wing, but I might be busy later that night. We'll see. If I am, I'd like to see it come out again sometime.
Gypsywolf and I are in for Lords of Waterdeep!
Sign me up for xwing, plz.
Sign me up for Istanbul
Update: I finally got my schedule, looks like I won't be arriving 'til shortly after 7:00PM. All the better to build up that tension, I guess.
Should be able to get there between 7:00 and 8:00. Plan to bring along a unique print and play game or two.
in for dr. mcninja
Please sign me up for legendary showdown. I'm bringing a friend (Juris) that would like to try the game as well.
Depending on when we get done with Risk, I've also picked up the new Legendary Encounters: Alien and would like to give it a shot.
I've played legendary encounters Tyler Its a great game.
I played the solo version last night, it seems really cool!
its gets more fun when someone becomes an alien.
I've got two more for Waterdeep! Myself, and a first-timer, Pamela.
