Strategy Saturday - Argyle Road Baptist Church - Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012

[Allan Luesink]

Hi all,

Well the end is in sight.  Labour Day is here and so it means that summer is quickly leaving us.  Yes, we can hope for great weather still (hopefully weeks worth) but you know it isn't really summer unless kids are out of school, regular activities are on hold, and work is just that bit slower because of co-workers away on vacation.

While we all bemoan the approach of winter - is it ok to even say that word yet? - one thing we don't need to bemoan with the advancing seasons is another opportunity to get together for Strategy Saturday.  This month the theme for the Feature Game is business.  There are many, many games that touch on this broad topic (Monopoly is the classis example).  Cory Heistad has volunteered to feature a game called Globalization.

Next month is Retro games so be thinking about that oldie-but-goodie that you have and bring it out for another spin.

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 invite).


On another note: I'm looking to set up a schedule on themes for next year's games nights.  If you have any suggestions of a theme, I'd like to hear from you.  Post below with your idea and an example of a game(s) that you think would fit (eg. Cooperative (Shadows Over Camelot)  ).  Here is a list of themes we've had this year to start your brainstorming:

• Military
• Barry's Choice
• Cooperative
• Railroad
• Historical
• Family / Gateway
• Business
• Retro
• Party Games/Group Games

Hope you'll be there this weekend,

Allan
(along with Michael and Barry)
