Scotland Yard
One of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. His job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives, the remaining players acting in concert, move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

We'll be playing the 1980s edition from Milton Bradley, but don't let the mass market edition scare you away. This is a fantastic deduction game! It won the Spiel des Jahres in 1983. A newer version of the game by Ravensburger is still in print.

Chad will be Mr. X.

Count me in for Scotland Yard. I played the Dracula one that I've heard plays very similarly. Should be interesting. (I love deductive reasoning!)

[Lareina]

Ignore this post, doing something different.

[Cordawg]

I'll play scotland yard and maybe after  I will run quarantine a game that takes about a hour and it plays 4 people 

Cory

[Colin Dearborn]

I will be attending with Amanda. Not sure when we will show up, but I will have a bag full of games geared for a younger crowd. Thinking Spin Monkeys, Loopin Luey, Riff Raff, etc.

Course, those all work for the young at heart crowd too.

I'll play scotland yard

Scotland Yard filled up with some posts ahead of you, Cordawg. But if there is enough interest I'll run a second game immediately following the first.

I am ambassador for the evening so I will not book into a game at this moment. I will, however, bring the game INTRIGUE with me to possibly play later on when the ambassadorial duties subside.

The game can handle 5 players and takes about an hour. (I will not schedule this in the first post, as I am not sure on start time).

This game has a reputation: a bad one, but not from a playability stand point. This pure negotiation game pits the players as Renaissance era families that are engaging in rampant nepotism. Players are seeking positions in the other families' businesses, and to further that pursuit players offer bribes. However, once accepting a bribe, the 'bought' player is under absolutely no obligation to honor the highest briber or any other verbal deal. In a word, this game is vicious.

CAUTION: This game has been know to make people cry.

CAUTION: This game has been know to make people cry.

I've pitched this game to a few customers-- people I know with gaming groups that like cut-throat play. Feedback has always been along the lines of "Wow, you weren't kidding".

This one is a potential relationship destroyer.

Count me in! 

[Tempest]

I might have to check out intrigue as well. That being said, I also picked up Ricochet Robots today, and definitely want to bring that out to a table sooner or later.
