I'll be showing up sometime between two and three, I think. I will be bringing Impulse to get some plays of it (Thanks Dana for ordering this one in!). I will likely bring compounded, since it has been requested at Chewsday Challenge. See you all tomorrow!

I have to drop out of the tourney. Im sorry i have to work now  : (

[miles]

could you sign me up for the catan tournament.

[Tempest]

I'd be up for Mega-carc, depending on when you schedule it.

I am thinking from 1pm to 4:30pm. Does that work for you?

Unfortunately not; I'm doing either Tzolk'in or Stone Age at noon then I'm in the Power Grid tourney at 2:00pm. Oh well, some other time then.

Also, I examined my settlers set (it's been years since I've opened that bad boy) and discovered that I had one extra road in one colour, and one fewer in another. If you're lacking in copies of the game still, I coloured the extra one to almost match the colour that was short; it's different enough so as not to be mistaken for any other colour anyways. Other than that and a bit of usage wear on the cards, it's 100% playable still.

Hey great!

Our dog got into garlic in the garbage.  We need to stay home and monitor him and probably take him to another vet before his eye appointment.

Big thanks to Chad, Dana, and everyone on the saskgames team for putting on another crazy awesome day of gaming mayhem.  Looking forward to the next one !

[Dana_Tillusz]

Glad you could make it out. I had lots of fun as well -- I actually got some games played!
