If you would like to schedule a game. Please post in this event thread with the following information:
Name of the game, when you would like to start, The duration of the game, and the number of players it can accommodate.

Due to the overwhelming success of ChewsDay Challenge we might need to limit table space in the early evening if attendance is high and the restaurant is busy. We ask that larger-sized games be planned for 7:30 and later after Boston Pizza's dinner rush when we can spill out into the dining area, if needed, and with the restaurant's permission.  Please be considerate when choosing your table area to maximize player density. Thank you for helping make ChewsDay Challenge a success!

Humourous review:  http://drakesflames.blogspot.ca/2008/04/board-game-review-darjeeling.html

This is a rather entertaining game with a really interesting and clever mechanic.  It's a few years old but I just got it a couple of weeks ago.  Darjeeling is my favourite tea so the theme was hard to resist.

In short:  you gather tea, try to batch it into like-type batches and ship it overseas for profit.  The problem is that different types of teas are priced differently (and the price changes depending on how recently the tea was last shipped abroad)... and, of course, it's a challenge to gather in like-type batches.  It's a really clever game, if slightly hard to find.

This will be my first playthrough outside of home so we'll be learning it together.
