I'm confident enough of Rise of Empires being a blast, so I am posting another round for this week. 6:50, 180 mins., 5 players.

Marc - I haven't played this game but I would like to try

[DCStyles]

I will run games of Ticket To Ride Europe at 6:30 & Ticket To Ride Asia at 8:00 for 2 to 5 players.  I've never actually played them before  , but they look pretty easy to teach.

[Blake]

I'd like to officially get in on Robo Rally. Apparently it's awesome.

[CappyZed]

One does not simply pass up RoboRally. I'm in.

Got another Kickstarter called Machine of Death, and would really like to get a bigger group for this one. Ideally I'd like to get teams of 3. I think it would be good till maybe 12 people. So at least 2 teams, up to 4 teams. If we get less people, I'll try to split up the teams evenly. I'm going to start it around 8:30. And I'm going to guestimate a time of around 2 hours.

I'm really amused by the concept of this game, and as not many other people would know what it is, I'm placing a gameplay video with the post to give you a better understanding of how the game plays.

A party game in which it is TOTALLY POSSIBLE to drop a boxcar full of rabid piranhas onto the King of France. LIKELY, even. In the world of our game, there exists a machine (the titular Machine of Death) that can issue people little cards: death predictions. Nobody knows just how it works, but it's always, always right. The GAME is about flinging SHARKS from CATAPULTS in order to kill imaginary people. It's basically a game of Mousetrap or a Road Runner cartoon, except that it's TOTALLY WITHIN THE RULES to create a QUICKSAND GENERATOR in a TREEHOUSE in order to DROWN someone. So if you can know, cryptically but with 100% accuracy, how a given person will one day die... And you're an assassin, and you want to make that day today... Then you have a puzzle to solve. Given a person who is slated to die by BANANA PEEL, but is currently in (let's say) a space station...how do you make it happen? Oh, and I forgot: all you have at your disposal is a tool, a liquid, and a piece of furniture. GO! Machine of Death: The Game of Creative Assassination. It's all about the execution.

[Maelven]

I'll join in for some Roborally. Everyone says that its good.

[omegadirective]

If you get 5 for Ticket to Ride Asia, count me in for a 6th. then we can do the team based version on the Asia Map. 3 teams of 2.

[Jason72]

I'd be interested in learning Rise of Empires.

Cheers!
