Hi all,

March, the 1st month of the Romans, will soon be here (crazy, huh!?). In keeping with it being when Rome's legions would begin campaigning, we have traditionally hosted a game with a military theme. If you have a game that you'd like to play that might hit that motif, drop me a note and we'll see if we can't feature it next month.

That all said, the Feature Game for February will explore an imagined reality in which civilization has collapsed. Following an unnamed apocalypse, the city of Euphoria has managed reestablish a facsimile of the forgotten times. It now seeks to prevent another apocalypse by engineering a new world order. However, there are three other factions who also seek to shape the reclaiming of civilization lost.

In the game of Euphoria, you lead a team of workers (dice) and recruits (cards) to claim ownership of the dystopian world. You will generate commodities, dig tunnels to infiltrate opposing areas, construct markets, collect artifacts, strengthen allegiances, and fulfill secret agendas. Euphoria is a worker-placement game in which dice are your workers. The number on each die represents a worker's knowledge—that is, his level of awareness that he's in a dystopia. A smart worker is a capable worker. But if the collective knowledge of all of your available workers gets too high, one of them might desert you. Four distinct societies, each of them waiting for you to write a new history. What are you willing to sacrifice to build a better dystopia?

[fyi - for the boardgame nerds, this is a Jamey Stegmaier game, the designer of other games like: Scythe, Viticulture and Tapestry]

Of course, as always, there will be many other games available to be played.


!!! If you have a game you'd like to play and draw some attention to, feel free to volunteer for future Feature Game slots. Just drop me a note at feature_friday@hotmail.com.

Feature Friday meets at Southside Pentecostal Assembly (41 Birchwood Rd) from 7pm to midnight. There is parking and an entrance at the back of the building. A snack table will be set up so feel free to contribute a drink or something to munch on. And feel free to bring along friends (and to forward this invite).

Hope you'll be there,

Allan
