Feature Friday - Southside Pentecostal Assembly - Friday, March 15, 2024

[Allan Luesink]

Hi everyone,

March is here and that means ... the start of a New Year! Well, maybe not here in Canada, but if we were to go back to the time of the Romans this would be true. March was when the Romans would begin their military campaigns and so they marked it as the beginning of their new year. The Roman calendar still echos into ours today (hint: September, October, November, December) and in remembrance of this, the Feature Game this month will have a military theme.

The game for March will be a classic of Ameritrash, Shogun. Released in 1986, and subsequently republished under a couple of different names, Shogun focuses on the chaotic feudal society of Japan during the Middle Ages. Players play one of several factions that erupt into a civil war, trying to consolidate their strongholds and then defeat other armies for the right to be called Shogun, the supreme ruler.

Of course, as always, there will be many other games available to be played.

!!! If you have a game you'd like to play and draw some attention to, feel free to volunteer for future Feature Game slots. Just drop me a note at feature_friday@hotmail.com.

Feature Friday meets at Southside Pentecostal Assembly (41 Birchwood Rd) from 7pm to midnight. There is parking and an entrance at the back of the building. A snack table will be set up so feel free to contribute a drink or something to munch on. And feel free to bring along friends (and to forward this invite).

Hope you'll be there,

Allan
