*** ChewsDay Challenge ***

What: The ChewsDay Challenge series of events is part of an initiative to host a public weekly game night that is welcoming to new members and is a way for people new to boardgames to experience a beginner friendly atmosphere. A opportunity for people new to designer board games or veterans of the hobby to come out, meet 'n' greet, and play some games. This is held at a great location with full food and beverage service. Come on out and try some games.

The venue is also a great place for Wargamers and Strategy Gamers to come out and play a game. There are some titles that are hard to get to the table, let's try to get them the attention they deserve at a ChewsDay Challenge.

Where: North Albert St. Boston Pizza (Regina)

When: Every ChewsDay night of course, see date on this post for this particular event.

Who: Anyone interested in playing boardgames. The venue is suitable for many different styles of games: (Wargames, Euro Games, Crokinole, Chess, Go, Scrabble, Backgammon, etc.)

Why: Life is Short; Play Games!

Although not necessary, we urge you to post in this thread if you are coming and what games you might bring or would like to play. Prearranging some games helps get some of the harder titles to the table. Perhaps you have seen someone post about a game in THIS THREAD, this might be an opportunity to get them to bring out the game and show you.

If you are new to the gaming scene in the City of Regina, come on out and meet some others. Feel free to come a bit early and grab a bite to eat. See you there!!!

Every ChewsDay Challenge, we will have a Game Host on site to teach a game. This is a great way for new players to experience a game in a beginner friendly environment. The Weekly Game will be set up at 6:15pm and players are urged to be there for 6:30. The feature game will start at 6:45pm. Note: A number of us go early (5ish) to grab a bite to eat, you are welcome to join us.

Without further adieu, here is the Game Host of the week:

THIS WEEK'S GAME HOST: Marc Bendig
THIS WEEK'S FEATURE GAME: Small World

There are lots of people bringing games out to play on ChewsDay Challenge Game Nights. To help attendees maximize their gaming experience we can help schedule games into slots for planning purposes. Post in the thread if you want to schedule a game and have folks sign up in advance. There are TWO basic time slots for this. 6:30pm time slot and 8:30pm. This is the start time for these games. They will be set up earlier. If you sign up for a game, please be there at least 15 minutes prior to start or your seat may be given to someone else. This is not mandatory, casual open gaming is still very much encouraged as well. Whether you wish to plan your game night or just show up and play it by ear, game on...

In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.

Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a fantasy follow-up to his award-winning Vinci, Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans, who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth.

Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory!

Barring any potential scheduling issues I could run a game of Formula D if enough people are interested.

Cordawg · January 06, 2013, 12:06:22 PM

Hey! I have two friends who will be showing up for the first time, and they were interested in trying Small World. They are Jaclyn and Troy. As for myself, I want to see what else is going on first...

Hey Tempest.
Do you want us to schedule this in or is work going to interfere with you attending. Let us know if and when you know you will be attending and we can schedule this in.

My wife and I would both like to try Small World, can you sign us up?

Thanks
Tim and Avens.

Oh yeah, I'll let you know, my work schedule for next week won't be up 'til Friday-ish I think, so I'll hold off for now.

Dana_Tillusz · January 22, 2013, 11:06:13 PM

This event is a week away. Please let us know if you're attending, if you want to run a game (time please!), or if you are dropping in to play something casual (are you bringing any games?)! Thanks!

Since I won't have my schedule til later, I'll just NOT try to schedule a game so I don't get people's hopes up and all that. Instead, I'll just say that if I *DO* show, I'll probably be bringing some games, and hoping to drop in on stuff, depending on what's available. Sorry.
