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!

It's awesome to see Mage Knight make its way to CC.

Great game.

Are you either of you quite familiar with it? I can't participate because I've got Cthulhu Wars at 8:30, but I could help you guys set up and go through the rules if you think that would be helpful. I've played it over 50 times so have got it down (except for elements like PvP combat, which I've never bothered with).

Damien has played once and I have played 4 solo conquests but have yet to actually come close to beating the cities, my major issue right now is how to handle fights with multiple enemies (such as the cities). Not planning on playing with pvp as I think that would just muddle things and make it less enjoyable for all. Was thinking of doing the mines scenario (need to flag all the crystal mines) as they don't seem nearly as daunting a fight as the cities.

R Newell · June 09, 2015, 09:12:35 AM

I think that would be a good call for an intro scenario. The cities are daunting for beginners.

I will have to pick your brain a bit that night
