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.Due to the overwhelming success of ChewsDay Challenge we might need to limit table space in the early evening if attendance is high and the restaurant is busy. We ask that larger-sized games be planned for 7:30 and later after Boston Pizza's dinner rush when we can spill out into the dining area, if needed, and with the restaurant's permission. Please be considerate when choosing your table area to maximize player density. Thank you for helping make ChewsDay Challenge a success!

I'll bring out the classic, cutthroat game Survive: Escape from Atlantis! for 6:30 (the 30th anniversary version released by Stronghold Games). Each player is trying to get their meeples (preferably the highest-valued ones) off of the sinking island to the safety of the mainland. But your boats can be sunk by whales and then your swimmers eaten by sharks. Plus there are sea monsters which can gobble it all up whole and giant squids, too.
And all of those critters are controlled by you and your opponents, making for just the right amount of backstabbing. :)
I've played it with gamers and family and everyone's enjoyed it. It's easy to learn and everyone's welcome to play. Even though it can play 6 players, I'll cap it off at 5 so it doesn't go too long. It'll play 60-90 minutes with teaching. And we'll throw in the two expansions, as well (well, 3 expansions with the 5th player added).

It's Carcassonne League Night so you know what that means...I'm bringing out King of New York to play at 8:00pm! If you're not already scheduled to be peacefully laying tiles and wondering what the heck those farmers are doing lying down then come chuck some dice, stomp some tanks and claw your opponents into submission. For those who haven't played it before, this is the gamer-version of King of Tokyo.
We may as well go for a full-roster of 6 players. Even with teaching it only takes around 45min+ and it's very easy to learn.

I'm also bringing out the classic negotiation (or NOT if you'd rather blast some colonies into the Warp) game Cosmic Encounter for 9:00. Players take on the role of various alien races with different rule-bending/breaking powers. To win you must be the first to get 5 colonies on 5 foreign planets through negotiation, cunning/trickery and battle (it's really up to the players and their playing styles). And you can even share victory if multiple people win on the same turn.
This will be a teaching game so everyone's welcome to play. Depending on how comfortable everyone is we'll either stick closer to the basic rules or add more in if people are familiar with the game. I've just got the base game and it accommodates 5 players. Duration is a little more hit-and-miss. I've played a game that lasted 45 minutes and another that lasted 90. The duration listed below reflects that range. :D

Think Robinson Crusoe in that you have to survive and work together to escape the island you and your fellow players are trapped on, meets Choose Your Own Adventure where each exploration decision you make affects the rest of the game. While it is co-op in that everyone needs to work together to escape, only the player with the most Story Points will win - points are gained by leading the charge on building, exploring, and scavenging.
Sign me up for cosmic encounter please!
Sign me up to Escape from Atlantis, please!
Put me down for Survive, please!

me and jason would be interested in Yggdrasil
Hi Everyone, there will be 7 attendees (including myself) from the Meetup group this Tuesday. No one has signed up for a game yet, but they are aware that there is no guarantee that they can be scheduled into a game if they show up tomorrow.
Thanks!
I'm confirming for carcassonne and I will be free to teach newcomers a quick game before carc starts.
If nobody has taken the last spot in King's Forge, could I get added to the list?
i am in for Yggdrasil
I may or may not be able to make it for King's Forge as I have to meet with some friends plus the best man to discuss this wedding that's happening next week. I just got the text saying we were meeting tomorrow night around 6ish, though I will be arriving at the place at 5:30, hopefully I won't be the only one to be early as they think they can get there by then too.
Sign me up for St Petersburg please
And Barry Ellis did u want to play baseball highlights 2045 after St Petersburg is done?
I'll be there for Carcissone.
If no one actually wants to play Castaways I'll join in on Cosmic Encounter at 9 :)
I couldn't see my reply so trying this again sorry. I will be there for Carcissone.
It sounds like there will be a bunch of people from MeetUp showing up so there will be a few people needing games to play
Chris and I will be coming out tonight and bringing out Christine who hasn't been out in a very long time. We'll have some quick playing games: Chopstick Dexterity Mega Challenge 3000, Lanterns, some other games I can't remember in my bag.
