Strategy Saturday - Argyle Road Baptist Church - Saturday, May 12, 2012

[Allan Luesink]

Hi all,

Welcome to May.  It's time for another edition of Strategy Saturday.  Some of you will remember that last month I included an overview of the types of games we're looking to feature for the remainder of the year.  This month the focus is on cooperative games.  If you've never played a cooperative game, then you're in for a real change of pace.  In a cooperative game all the players are working together to beat the game.  Everyone will win together or everyone will lose together.  It's a team effort.

The Feature Game for May will be Flash Point: Fire Rescue.  In this game the players take on the role of firefighters trying to rescue people (& pets) from a burning home.  There aren't a lot of cooperative games on the market and this one has been beautifully put together.  You can check out more on it at Board Game Geek.

We'll be in the basement of Argyle Road Baptist Church (3510 Argyle Rd) from 7pm to midnight.  As usual we'll have our snack counter open so feel free to contribute a drink or something to munch on.  And feel free to bring along friends (and to forward this email).

Hope you'll be there,

Allan
(along with Michael and Barry)


PS - And here's a reminder on what we see the rest of the year looking like as far as our themes for Strategy Saturday's Feature Game segment.  If you have a game that hits one on these themes and you'd be willing to feature it, let me know.  Of course your always welcome to bring your game even if it doesn't neatly fit into a theme (within reason of course):

June 9 - Railroad
July 14 - Historical
August 11- Family/Gateway (Intro)
September 8 - Business
October 13 - Retro (20 years or older)
