Please sign me up for Robinson Crusoe, read about it on BGG and it seems like an interesting game to learn.

I'd like to sign up for the Twilight Struggle league as well. I have a copy of the game and can bring it with me.

I'll host a game of Power Grid, I have some good crib sheets for new players. The game accomodates 6 people, and assuming its full and mostly newbies will run for about 2 1/2 hours.

Game Discussion / Re: What game is hitting your table?
August 25, 2013, 04:27:14 AM
Games that have been going through the rotation in my group lately have been:
Eclipse - Probably my favourite game right now, 4X strategy with a perfect blend of Euro & Ameritrash gameplay. So much depth yet fairly easy for new players to learn. Great with 4 to 6 players and the expansion makes 2 and 3 player games much richer as well
Spartacus: A Game of Blood & Treachery - Enjoyable PvP screwage game, we often quote lines from the show after hitting a rival with a scheme or killing each other's gladiators. Recently acquired the 6 player expansion and looking forward to having 2 vs. 2 primus battles and even more shifting alliances
Suburbia - Played a lot of Sim City games on Super Nintendo/PC when I was growing up, this game scratches my itch for city building. Completely varied gameplay to win depending on the tiles in play and public/private goals
Power Grid - I operate the grid in real life so this game is a natural for me. Really good catchup mechanic to keep everyone in the game right til the end. Have all the expansion maps, but so far have only played the base USA & Germany
Lords of Waterdeep - Worker placement game with a Forgotten Realms setting, picked up DnDeeples to add more theme to the adventurers rather than having base cubes represent people. Skullport expansion adds corruption to increase the amount of tough decisions to make regarding resource acquisition.
Agricola - Have played the ios version over 60 times with only the base E deck, making it easy to teach to the new players in the group. Its been nice to physically bring it to the table and discover the cards in the other (I, K, G) decks too. Love finding combo chains in this game.
Heroquest - An old favourite from childhood, DMing a 44 quest campaign (including expansions) for one of my best friends who is a WoW guru and loves the simplicity of this game. Most of the quests have a nice twist to make them unique. Will start playing Descent together after he completes his campaign.
Twilight Struggle - Easy to learn, difficult to master. Grand strategy game with difficult choices to make almost every round, I understand why its #1 on BGG.
Age of Empires III - Worker placement, colonization game with variable discoveries and a random building and resource pool, really fun to play with 5 or 6 people
Games I own and haven't played that will hit the table soon:
Puerto Rico: Anniversary Edition
A Game of Thrones: The Board Game - Have both Dance With Dragons and the Feast for Crows expansions
War of the Ring
Sid Meier's Civilization: The Board Game w/ Fame & Fortune expansion
Risk Legacy - Very excited to start a 5 player campaign of this in the fall

I can start Suburbia around 6:45 Bricktown, hopefully there's not too many standoffs or lightning around tomorrow so you can do a quick shift change.

I can host and play a game of Suburbia at 6:30pm. It is fairly easy to learn, 4 players and can be played in about 90 minutes.
