I'll bring Among the Stars w/Ambassadors expansion for 8:30 - 4 Players 90-120 minutes.   

Among the Stars takes place in a war-ravaged galaxy where the warring alien races have declared peace in the wake of a threat with the potential to destroy them all. An Alliance is established to build space stations throughout the galaxy in order to promote trade among the races, strengthen diplomatic relations, and defend against this impending threat. Each player takes the role of one of those races trying to build the greatest space station. Through card drafting, the players select locations, and use these to build their station, scoring victory points based on the placement. The construction lasts four years, and alien race with the most points at the end wins. The Ambassadors: In order to assist in the construction of their space stations, each race has formed a team of ambassadors to visit other space stations in need. These ambassadors are willing to offer their services and strengthen the bonds of the newly-formed alliance. These ambassadors are introduced in the game with the addition of a fourth action that allows the players to invite them to their station and make them part of their Council. Each ambassador comes with a different ability, based on his race's strengths and capabilities. However, there is limited space in each player's Council so they have to choose wisely who they are going to invite.

If you still have Alea Iacta Est in your collection I'd really like to try it but Nov 4 and Nov 11 don't work for me so maybe a more distant Chewsday?

I'm not sure of the footprint of either of these games, so they may not be CC-friendly, but I'd love to try Endeavor, Stronghold or Bora Bora at 8:30. 

[omegadirective]

I'll try Among the Stars.

Just received my copy and can't wait to play! to the Table reviews calls it the "Best co-op game ever!"  Plays 2 - 7 6:30 start

Imagine that you are one of the crew in your favorite science fiction TV show. Now imagine that in the last 10 minutes of the show things have gone so badly that the captain is dead, and you and a member of your crew have to pull together and save the day yourselves! The Captain is Dead is a co-op game for 2 to 7 players. All you have to do is get the ship's engines (aka "Jump Core") back online and you win; but because there is a hostile alien ship trying to destroy you, that is easier said than done. You have an impressive star ship full of useful systems that will help you fend off the aliens, and get the Jump Core back online. Each system gives you an advantage while it remains online. The assault from the hostile alien ship tends to keep knocking those systems offline however. So you need to balance your time between keeping the ships system's online, fending off the alien threat, and completing your objective. Each member of your crew has special abilities and skills. You need to work as a group to maximize the potential of each role. If someone tries to be a hero, you'll all die.

[Colin Dearborn]

I'll give that a shot at 6:30 Murray, looks pretty good.


I will run Endeavor afterwards.



8:30 start

[prairieguy]

I set it for 90 - I am playing on Wednesday so I will have a better idea [first time] but f we get 7 I would think the 90 makes sense

[scuudz]

I'm in for Endeavor.  Thanks for bringing it out, Colin!
