Put me down for Among the Stars, Rob.  Unfortunately my copy with the expansions hasn't arrived yet - maybe by tuesday.

Archipelago's an awesome game, I recommend it to anyone wanting to try out a really interesting worker placement game. I'd sign up, but I probably work 'til 7 as it is. If enough people are interested, I'd like to bring out Formula D; room for up to 10(!) people, I'd say 2-3 hours tops. If there isn't enough interest, I can potentially take requests or I'll otherwise wait and see what pops up.

Yup, it is a brilliant design in my book.  I view it as more than a worker placement game though. There is exploration, auctioning/bidding, negotiation and a traitor (possibly). The "semi-co-op" nature of the game is interesting. I love the graphic design of the game too.  I've only played one 3-player game of it and am hoping for a 4 or 5 player game on Tuesday.
Tempest - I'll  probably bring it out in the future as well so hopefully you'll be able to sign up on one of those occasions.

Yeah, 'worker-placement' is more of a generalization I guess haha. Sounds good; I usually play it on the weekends with my gaming group, so no huge rush, but I'll definitely give it a shot next time our schedules line up.

I seem to be missing from the list.

Sorry Lori - I've got you marked down on the list I'm bringing with me (to keep track of who's playing). But I think a moderator has to make the change on the OP of this thread to add you there. Or at least nothing's coming up that would let me make the edit.

[Bix Conners]

(1) Lori is added.

(2) I will play Archipelago.

(3) I will be bringing some of the 2 player abstract games in the GIPF series to play before Archipelago. Come see me to learn more

[silent_rob]

Thanks kindly, Matt. Much appreciated.

I will be bring a Catan Histories game " The Merchants of Europe" it is a three or four player game. It takes about 2 hours to play. I would like to start at 6:30.
