I've added A Study in Emerald at 6:30.  Essentially, Cthulhu vs. Sherlock Holmes.

[Lori]

I was going to ask if it was the 2nd edition of A Study in Emerald but I see by the link that it is.  I'd like to try it.

Can someone bring out Macao?

If  you're looking for 7:30 or later I can bring it.

Would 8:30 be ok?

8:30 is fine. Here ya go:

GAME: Macao
TEACHER: Tyler "Tempest"
START TIME: 8:30
DURATION: 60-90 minutes with teaching
# OF PLAYERS: 2-4
URL: Macao

For interested players, Macao is a game about delivering goods and gaining influence as a merchant. Mechanically, it's a strategic dice management game all about pre-planning. Someone rolls a set of dice which represent various actions/resources you can use on later turns. The trick is managing them so you have actions to do every turn (you lose points if you can't) and also making sure you can play cards that you acquire every turn. Once you get the hang of things, the 12 rounds of play go by pretty quick. I've found that the strategy is a bit tricky, but mechanically it's a very simple and fun game. It takes only a turn or two to really get a hang of the flow of the game. I recommend this game to players of any skill level.

This game uses some technology to make it work, it requires a state of the art record player. So this game isn't totally analog.

Derek (lifeofturner) was looking for Cacao, not Macao so I'm not sure if he wanted to be on the list for Macao. 

[Bix Conners]

I was wondering about that, but didn't say anything because I really like Macao.
