It's two-for-one Acquire...!
GAME TITLE: Acquire

START TIME: 6:30
DURATION: 2 hours

GAME TITLE: Megacquire (aka Megacquisitions)

First, at 6:30 we'll play Acquire, Sid Sackson's 1962 masterpiece that remains as fun to play today as ever. Highly strategic, a simple mechanism to simulate supply and demand effects and inside information results in a really captivating game. Plus, it's game entry #5 on Boardgame Geek so you can put a check mark by a very early game on the BGG list. :) You definitely want to give it a try if you've not played it before, and I know it's a favourite of quite a lot of SaskGames folk.
At 8:30 we'll play Megacquire which is being renamed Megacquisitions. This is Lloyd Solon's reimagining of Acquire, using a hexagonal grid instead of a square one, which really changes the strategy. This is a limited edition game that's not too common in the wild but I managed to find a copy and would finally like to give it a try. This will be my first playing, but the gameplay is very similar to Acquire. If you've tried Acquire and enjoyed it you will likely want to give Megacquire a try.
I'm estimating a bit on the playtime for Megacquire but since Wednesday is Remembrance Day, most of us shouldn't need to be in bed too early.
People are welcome to sign up to one or the other or, of course, both. I'll run them as long as a minimum of four people sign up.
Jim I'll play both acquire and mega acquire
Ooooh. Mega-Acquire. I am in. :excited
Please sign me up for the 6:30 game of Acquire.
I will play both acquires
Sign Thomas (PrisonMonkeys) and me up for the first Acquire, please!
Please add me to Mega Acquire. Thanks.
Hi can you sign me up for MegaAcquire on Tuesday
Thanks
Could you sign me out of Acquire? I won't be able to make it...
(PrisonMonkeys will still be going.)
Put me down for the last spot for acquire
This week I'm bringing out a personal favourite, the dice-worker-placement/area control/sci-fi game Alien Fontiers. Your dice are your space ships, used to mine resources and accomplish different tasks. You primarily use the resources to colonize an alien world. Colonizing different areas gives you different powers that can help you in your mission. There's a variety of ways to get your colonies down and screw over your opponents in the process. Additionally, I'll have both of the main expansions as well as all of the mini expansions thrown in, as well.
It's a medium weight game that's a lot of fun without being too difficult & everyone's welcome to give it a try. It can play up to 6 but anything over 4 is too long so I'll cap it at that. It plays in 90min or so but with teaching and the expansions it'll probably be more like 120min.

Count me in for Alien Frontiers. Also, please add Bora Bora at 6:30.

Alright, back in action. I'd like to bring out one of my favourites, Lords of Waterdeep, with both expansions. It can play up to 6 people. For newcomers, the expansions don't require much more knowledge about the base game, it's pretty much just one extra rule and more gameplay options (which are in my opinion, necessary to fully enjoying the game)
GAME TITLE: Lords of Waterdeep (With both expansions)
TEACHER: Tyler "Tempest"
START TIME: 8:00 PM
DURATION: ~2 hours
# OF PLAYERS: 2-6

Sorry, I just realized we're recording Fallout 4 that day, so I have to cancel Waterdeep. Maybe next week! (good thing no one signed up yet, haha)
Me and Jason are up for Bora Bora. Sign us up if you can
Bora Bora & Alien Frontiers for me.

Does anybody have/want to play Ticket to Ride? We've been wanting to try it out for ages.
I won't be making it to this event as I have a writing project that I began recently and I want to have a few chapters written up by this weekend.

Private Pizza will fight for your honor, he'll just have to Push at Hamburger Hill without you... The Grilled Cheesus will save him.
So sorry, everyone, but something's come up and I'm going to have to cancel, for tonight. Sorry again - I'll bring Alien Frontiers out another time soon.
