Assuming Marc can't make it to Neue Heimat, I'll take his seat.

Please switch Nathan in for Marc's spot on Neue Heimat

I am going to once again bring a deliciously devious game to CC this week. I will pre-book the previous players as they asked for a repeat play. I ask that they confirm by October 10th. Unclaimed seats at that time can go to general signup...

GAME: Neue Heimat
TEACHER: Matt R
START TIME: 6:30
DURATION: 60-90 Minutes (with Teach)
# OF PLAYERS:5
1. Matt R (Confirmed)
2. Petra (Please Confirm Your Spot)

DESCRIPTION:
Tactical bidding game about building the highest scoring houses in three building rows. Simple rules, deep & devious strategy.

The levels are different coloured cubes with numbers from 1 to 6 on it, that are dealt via auction in each round. The first one of a new colour you purchase fixes this colour as yours for the rest of the game and the final scoring. Players also bid for additional pieces to shorten (or lengthen) the lanes and rooftops to finish the houses.
You pay with cheques, each of 1 million euros and can establish an "illegal cashbox", counting at the final scoring, too.
The game ends, when there are two rows completed. The houses on these score positive points, regarding the numbers on the levels and the rooftops, the ones in the third row are scored negative.

Tough bidding game, unforgiving and rather deep for the way it looks.

GAME: Citadels

Figured it was time to bring out this classic...

"In Citadels, players take on new roles each round to represent characters they hire in order to help them acquire gold and erect buildings. The game ends at the close of a round in which a player erects his/her eighth building. Players then tally their points, and the player with the highest score wins.

Players start with a number of building cards in their hand; buildings come in five colors, with the purple buildings typically having a special ability and the other colored buildings providing a benefit when you play particular characters. At the start of each round, the player who was king the previous round discards one of the eight character cards at random, chooses one, then passes the cards to the next player, etc. until each player has secretly chosen a character. Each character has a special ability, and the usefulness of any character depends upon your situation, and that of your opponents. The characters then carry out their actions in numerical order: the assassin eliminating another character for the round, the thief stealing all gold from another character, the wizard swapping building cards with another player, the warlord optionally destroys a building in play, and so on.

On a turn, a player earns two or more gold (or draws two building cards then discards one), then optionally constructs one building (or up to three if playing the architect this round). Buildings cost gold equal to the number of symbols on them, and each building is worth a certain number of points. In addition to points from buildings, at the end of the game a player scores bonus points for having eight buildings or buildings of all five colors."

I am sad. :(

I have a nasty cold that has decided to take up residence in my chest. This cold is my new Nemesis as I have to miss Nemesis tonight.
Have fun y'all.

Nemesis please; your description a few weeks ago piqued my interest...
