Chewsday Challenge - North Albert Boston Pizza - Oct. 15 (18:00)

[Bix Conners]

In the 19th century, shortly after the industrial revolution, railways quickly spread over the world. Japan, importing Western culture and eager to become one of the Grand Nations, saw the birth of many private railway companies and entered the Golden Age of railways. Eventually, as a result of the actions of powerful people and capitalists, many of these smaller companies gradually merged into larger ones. In Trains, the players are such capitalists, managing private railways companies and striving to become bigger and better than the competition. The game takes place during the 19th and 20th century in the 2012 OKAZU Brand edition, whereas the 2013 AEG/Pegasus edition is set in modern times, with bullet trains, freight trains and more. You will start with a small set of cards, but by building a more effective deck throughout the game, you will be able to place stations and lay rails over the maps of Osaka, Tokyo or other locations. The trick is to purchase the cards you want to use, then use them as effectively as possible. Gain enough points from your railways and you will ultimately manage the most powerful railroads in modern Japan!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Not a lot of announcements this week, but just as a friendly reminder we'd like to encourage everyone to post ahead of time if you're attending, even if you don't have a specific game in mind of playing/joining/hosting; it allows us to communicate with Boston Pizza so they can be properly prepared in case they have large groups or potential reservations, etc. for that evening. Also, among other things, it's an easy way to request a game you might be interested in seeing on a particular night if you don't see it posted already!
