Confirmed for Eldritch Horror! 

I'll also bring out the steampunk/role-selection/area control game Mission: Red Planet to start the night. Players are Victorian mining companies with their drills aimed at Mars (hence "steampunk"). You use role selection (a la Libertalia or Citadels) to get your astronauts onto rocketships bound for Mars (hopefully with nobody else sabotaging you in the process). The goal is to try and get the most astronauts in various regions to successfully mine the resources of the planet and its moon Phobos.

It's got a few mechanisms at play but it isn't too bad so everyone's welcome to give it a try. It plays up to 6 and I'm fine with a full game. Games generally take around 90min though it might be a little more with teaching.

Let's try this again (since I was sick the last time I wanted to bring it out) - I'm going to bring the new viking game Blood Rage from super-designer Eric Lang. It's a hybrid between guys-on-a-map-fighting/area control and euro game mechanisms like card drafting. Unlike most games of this genre, you don't just get points for killing your opponents; purposefully having your own vikings and monsters die gloriously in battle is a potentially game-winning strategy.

I've also got the 5-player expansion so we can play with a full 5 players. It's supposed to be around 90min but with 5 players and teaching I'd estimate it'll be around 120min or so.

Here are the those playing, so far:

I'm really sorry but I've gotten quite sick and am going to have to cancel for tonight. 

Please take me out of Istanbul and remove Blood Rage - I'll bring it out to another Chewsday soon.
