A reminder that tonight is draw night! You have to attend to win. We'll be drawing for a gift certificate from Boston Pizza and a gift certificate from ComicReaders.

(Perhaps another Ambassador can remind us what values are up for grabs because I've forgotten!)

"I love the sound of dice rolling in the evening!" - Apocalypse Now

Normandy, June 6th, 1944 – as you land on the well-defended beaches, a German machine gun nest is killing your comrades like flies. You must do something!

In D-Day Dice, players are Allied soldiers trying to organize improvised units for an attack against the machine gun nest. Each player starts the game with a unit of a few soldiers and nothing else. As the game progresses, he will collect resources and advance on the beach, sector by sector, as his unit grows stronger and deadlier. He will succeed...or die trying.

D-Day Dice is a multiplayer co-op game, where all players play their turn simultaneously and must help each other in order to stay alive. It also includes solitaire optional rules. Although built around dice rolling, this game is about resource management (soldiers, specialists, items and courage) and knowing when to move your unit. Resources are kept from turn to turn, so the players can plan ahead.

I'll sign up for some Cowboys if you still got room.

Thanks for making it look pretty Matt - maybe someone will get interested! If not I will bring anyway in case someone changes their mind

I'll run a game of Pandemic at 6:30 since I had to leave early from the game last week. Will also be using the roles and events from the On the Brink expansion.
