I added some Knizia games to the schedule: Modern Art, Samurai and Ingenious.  The expectation is the same 4 people will play all 3 games.  Should take about 3 hours from start to finish.

I was really hoping you were going to put up Great Western Trail :)

(I'm sure you could persuade Lori to part with her copy if you want to do that final playthrough you talked about on the show last week, or you could probably talk Lori or me into joining along, since we've played the game before.)

(As a total aside, we had an interesting experience recently where I hated Praetor on the first play but really liked it on the second play, two years later, so a good topic for your show might be revisiting old games that you didn't like, or talking about experiences where you had a game you thought you didn't like turn into a game you actually did.)

Jim, you would have to twist my arm until it snaps, at which point I would thankfully be going to the hospital instead of playing Great Western Trail.   :)

Bringing out Among the Stars, which is similar to 7 Wonders in that it is a card drafting game with the goal of building a space station. There are some other mechanics to it, but it isn't difficult.

Note for Ambassador: Would need a large table, ideally one of the round tables if possible.

We don't reserve tables (outside of mobility needs) but if the round table in our designated area is already full you can check with Jill about arranging a space for you!  That one definitely creates some interesting shapes.

Thanks, as per the venue information:

"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." so I am simply making the Ambassador aware that I intend to spill out into the dining area in advance. It is not clear from the venue rules whether we approach the restaurant for permission. Either way, it should not be read as a reservation request but rather one which seeks to conform to those very rules drafted for this venue.

I knew you knew, but I wanted to comment so that newer people would know what we know.  :lol 

The ambassador is the contact point between Boston Pizza and our passionate gamers so they would get permission for you. I'll put a clarification in the venue info.

If you can change the time of Colosseum to 120 min. that would be great.

I understand from those that have played more Colosseum the play time could push to 120 min., so better revise the time so as to not leave anyone caught up before their next game.

Thanks
