I adjusted the run time on WHBIT. Box lists game time at about 30 mins per player.

South Pacific: The famous Dr. Shark, a mysterious character strongly suspected of heading a secret criminal organization, is organizing a cocktail party on his private island. You are a secret agent and have just received an encrypted text message: "Cocktail party organized by Dr Shark – Important evidence probably hidden in pool – Attend party and recover evidence – Beware sharks!" At the request of your country's counter-intelligence services, you will mingle with other guests at the reception. Your mission: Dive into the pool to retrieve clues hidden by the infamous Dr. Shark – without falling prey to the sharks underneath the water! Back on the surface, you will try to group your clues to form evidence. The secret agent who has put together the biggest dossier against Dr. Shark will have the privilege of putting him behind bars. Mission accomplished. The other secret agents will be thrown into the pool... Dr. Shark brings a new feel to the idea of a dexterity game as players will rely on their sense of touch to discover evidence against this evildoer. Players have only thirty seconds per dive to recover as many clues as possible from the bottom of the pool, using their fingers to detect an object's shape and texture.

I could host D-Day Dice for 4 at 7:30, it would be my first time hosting – as good a time as any to get involved right? Playing time is 45 minutes to an hour.

Normandy, June 6th, 1944 – as you land on the well-defended beaches, a German machine gun nest is killing your comrades like flies. You must do something!
In D-Day Dice, players are Allied soldiers trying to organize improvised units for an attack against the machine gun nest. Each player starts the game with a unit of a few soldiers and nothing else. As the game progresses, he will collect resources and advance on the beach, sector by sector, as his unit grows stronger and deadlier. He will succeed...or die trying.
D-Day Dice is a multiplayer co-op game, where all players play their turn simultaneously and must help each other in order to stay alive. It also includes solitaire optional rules. Although built around dice rolling, this game is about resource management (soldiers, specialists, items and courage) and knowing when to move your unit. Resources are kept from turn to turn, so the players can plan ahead.

To avoid confusion, I've removed any post that mentioned Dead Panic.

Dr. Shark looks cool, but the timing doesn't work out for me.
So instead, I'll run Nation: a Mighty Spark

Could you sign me up for Dr. Spark

I'm up for another round of Cowboys Chad! I've almost recovered from my wounds of last week's bank robbery, and I'd like to get revenge on all the town folk varmints that took out my partners. I've also been hearing about a stage coach that's heading our way, loaded with gold bullion, and not very well protected. Hmmm...............

Oh, good news... looks like I don't have to work at all so I'll be showing up closer to 6 so hopefully we can get an earlier start for Risk. (Also making a note in the League thread).

Please sign me up for Dr. Shark!
