Chewsday Challenge - North Albert Boston Pizza - September 16, 2014 (18:00)

As someone who started off without very much knowledge about board games (except maybe magic the gathering) let me tell you that it is 100% okay to come in to a game without any knowledge about what you're going to play; one of the main points of these events is to try out new games and have fun! In other words, it never hurts to be prepared, but it's definitely not a requirement!

Of course, that's just the viewpoint from a player, I'm sure someone more official than I could phrase it better ;p

You won't have any trouble learning Settlers DC, it's easy peasy

[NeikeDjour]

I agree. At least 60% of the games I've signed up for I've either never played beforehand, or only know how to play because someone at the group taught it to me. Reading the rules beforehand might help but it's not nessesary. A lot of the time it's easier to learn with someone teaching you. People are more than happy to teach them.

I've only been to one Chewsday Challenge so far (second tomorrow), but the vibe is definitely we-will-hold-your-hand-a-little-if-you-need-it.  Lots of sharing of strategy and ideas.  We are playing the game and someone will win, but there's lots of help as far as understanding how the game works.

That all sounds good to me.  Thanks for the kind words of encouragement everyone.

[Dana_Tillusz]

Thanks for the positive words everyone!

[Tempest]

Wouldn't say 'em if they weren't true!

Side note: I just noticed Legendary has a total of four slots; there's actually room for five!

Is there any interest in playing Coup?  I don't see that it's ever been at the Chewsday Challenge.  I just got my Coup and Reformation (sequel/supplement) Kickstarter from my Montana PO box on Monday and it would be fun to share it with some of you if you've not seen it before.

I love coup and would definitely play!!

Can I signup for Lost Cities at 9:30?  Is there still room?

Wow! Another exciting lineup of games for this week's installment of CC. I should be there by mid-evening to join in. Will bring along a couple of print and play oddities.
