Feature Friday - Southside Pentecostal Assembly - Friday, August 16, 2024

[Allan Luesink]

Hey all,

I'm sure many of you have been busy and now can hardly believe that summer is already past the midway point - again! This summer I've found myself super involved in soccer playing dozens of games. But that's all wrapped up for the season and I'm looking forward to an evening of gaming.

For the August Feature Game, we'll explore a time when the great city of Venice wasn't a tourist destination but a dominant economic and political world power. In the game Serenissima, players take on the mantle of 1 of 4 great Mediterranean powers seeking to extend their sphere of influence.  In the course of a game, players must build galleys, hire crew and buy/sell commodities. The value of goods can be influenced by players having monopolies in certain commodities. Players can also take control of ports, thereby earning extra income from players using the port, as well as being able to get that port's specific commodity. It's a era of deal making, intrigue, and competition.

As well, as always, there will be 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
