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!

[Lori]

I'm in for some civ time travel.

[camcarr]

Anyone interested in maybe playing a game of shogun?

A friend and I would like to come out and see how it goes.
I would bring the game of course.

I also could be tempted into bringing Lords of Waterdeep, with Expansion Scoundrels of Skullport.

What time would you want to put them on the schedule and how many players are you looking for?  If you let me know we'll pop them up for sign-ups.

[camcarr]

Well I guess I would put Shogun up for playing.
Guessing around 7PM
Looking for 4 or 5 players to try really have a good battle.

I'm bringing out the "worker displacement," strategy game Five Tribes to start off the night on Tuesday. Different "tribes" of meeples start out on the board and players activate their powers by moving them around with a mancala mechanic to earn gold/score points, buy Djinns/invoke their powers and kill other meeples. Add on to that a modular board, auctioning for turn order, area control and a bunch of other additions and it's pretty clear why this is called Days of Wonder's first "gamer's game." It's fun, interesting and has a lot of different ways to win.

It's a little heavier than Days of Wonder's other games but is still pretty quick to learn so everyone's welcome to play. With teaching it generally takes about 90 minutes, all-told and will accommodate 4 players.

I'll also bring out the zombie/survival/co-op-ish game Dead of Winter on Tuesday. It's a great, intense game where everyone works "together" (most of the time) against a crisis each round and toward an main objective for the game. But zombies are the least of your worries as the crises address various other realms of survival and the might be a traitor in your midst and everyone has their own secret objectives, anyway. Plus there's the Crossroads deck there to add a lot of flavour and shake things up even more.

We'll go with a full complement of 5 players and everyone's welcome to give it a try. With teaching it's around 120min though that may go over a bit depending on which main objective we select.
