I'll run Yunnan and Kremlin.

I ran Yunnan last week and again at PGX last weekend. It's a great medium-weight eurogame with no elements of chance aside from the starting player order.  Come give it a try!  It's pretty easy to teach and we should have no trouble getting the game played inside of two hours, even with a full complement of five.

Kremlin is a game I've run at Chewsday Challenge a couple of times, and I'm bringing back by popular demand.  It's got a very clever mechanism where you exert control over Soviet politicians but only reveal your influence gradually.  Other players may have higher influence and reveal it at timely moments!  There's lots of backstabbing in this game but somehow it never stops being fun, even when you're the victim.  In the "Some Games Are More Fun to Lose Than Others" category, this would be my #1.  I've never won and I don't care.  It's a blast! 

This game seems to run long - I've padded the run time accordingly but consider this an estimate, not a guarantee.

We managed to get Russian Railroads scheduled from the Possible Fall Games at Chewsday Challenge thread.  If there are games you're hoping to play this fall feel free to make a post there or maybe you can teach something that someone else wants to learn.

I'm going to run Cthulhu Wars at 7:30.

For those who have played with me before....I done it wrong :confused.  Somehow I missed a line in the rule book and as a result I haven't been running the game properly before this.

So this will be my first time running the game correctly
