I'm going to bring out the new Days of Wonder game Quadropolis. It's a city-building, tile-laying, set collection game. It's light-to-medium weight and a lot of fun so everyone's welcome to give it a try. 60min but will likely be a little bit longer with learning & we'll play the expert mode rather than the basic mode.

I'm also bringing out the Viking game Blood Rage, again. It's a fantastic Ameritrash-Euro hybrid (guys-fighting-on-a-map mixed with card drafting and a bunch of other fun mechanisms).
I'm going to cap it at 4-players, this time, so it doesn't go too late.

Any interest in playing Millennium Blades? It'll be my first time playing it, but I've thoroughly reviewed the rules so -hopefully- it'll go by without many hitches in around 3 hours (~1 hour above box time). Again, apologies for the late post. I'll also bring a few shorter games just in case.

I'll sign up for Millenium Blades. I couldn't get enough of it on my first couple plays.
Oop. Misread the date night as there were two in the feed. I'm not able to do Millenium this Tuesday sorry.
I would like to sign up for blood rage, thanks Christoper

Announcements:
- Chewsday Challenge Policy Reminders: If you would like a re-fill on your pop drink, you can no longer serve yourself, but must instead ask the server assigned to our section to get you a refill. Also, as a rule, only the first six tables right outside of the gaming area are available to us for eating and playing games. As the night goes on, other parts of the larger dining room may become available for gaming; however, always check with the ambassador for the evening and they will check with Boston Pizza staff to see what is possible.
- Play With your Food is still filling up, so register your team soon!
- Upcoming Learn-To-Play Sessions of the game Machi Koro will be held at Chewsday Challenge on May 24 to teach the game in advance of the Machi Koro Tournament at PGX on May 28th. Come to learn and then compete!
- PGX Planning Committee is still looking for Registration Table Volunteers! Remember: volunteers get an additional entry in the pot for PGX door prizes. Contact Brad Boileau (bboileau) or Dana Tillusz (Dana_Tillusz) if you are interested.
- Prairie Game Expo is coming up in just a few weeks! Sign up for the tournaments (Machi Koro, Catan, and Dexterity games) and other games on the fora.
