Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island takes the players to a deserted island, where they'll play the parts of shipwreck survivors confronted by an extraordinary adventure. They'll be faced with the challenges of building a shelter, finding food, fighting wild beasts, and protecting themselves from weather changes. Building walls around their homes, animal domestication, constructing weapons and tools from what they find and much more awaits them on the island. The players decide in which direction the game will unfold and – after several in-game weeks of hard work – how their settlement will look. Will they manage to discover the secret of the island in the meantime? Will they find a pirate treasure, or an abandoned village? Will they discover an underground city or a cursed temple at the bottom of a volcano? Answers to these questions lie in hundreds of event cards and hundreds of object and structure cards that can be used during the game...

I'll run a game of Robinson Crusoe at 8:00.  It's a co-op that accommodates 4 players that, according to the box, should take 2 hours.  With rules explanation, I'm guessing it would wrap up at 10:30.

EDIT: I changed the start time from 6:30 to 8:00 so it doesn't conflict with Space Alert.

It's a cooperative team survival game. Players become crew members of a small spaceship scanning dangerous sectors of galaxy. The missions last just 10 real-time minutes (hyperspace jump, sector scan, hyperspace jump back) and the only task the players have is to protect their ship. On 2 CDs (or Scenario cards if you don't have a CD player available) are ten minute long soundtracks that represent central computer announcements about the presence of various threats. These vary from space battleships and interceptors to different interstellar monsters and abominations, asteroids or even intruders and malfunctions on the spaceship. Players have to agree who will take care of which task and coordinate their actions (moving around the ship, firing weapons, distributing energy, using battlebots to deal with intruders, launching guided missiles, etc.) in real time to defend the ship. Only a well-working team can survive 10 minutes and make the jump back to safety. The game offers several difficulty levels, huge variability and a unique experience for one to five player teams. One mission lasts only about 30 minutes, including setup and evaluation.

Gah, you would put the final race on the same night I ambassador. Curses.

Crikey, I might move it to the first week in october, because Chris said this Tuesday doesn't work either for him. As always, I want to accommodate as many people as possible, so I'll let everyone chime in.

[DCStyles]

Please sign me up for Robinson Crusoe, read about it on BGG and it seems like an interesting game to learn.
