Thanks to everybody who came and had fun at our last meeting. Also a big thank you to Marquis and Game Summit for bringing some sweet prizes for our attendees. I guess I will be seeing most of you at game summit this coming weekend at the Sportsplex. It looks like Steve might even bring his Warhammer army and get jiggy with the 40k tournament.
Below are the details for our next meeting!
Next Meeting: Monday July 5th 6:30PM – 10:00PM. (If attendance keeps on increasing we will be switching to bi-weekly soon!)
Last Meeting we got to play: Railways of Mexico, Last Night on Earth, Small World, Space Dealer, Zombie Dice, Coliseum, Catacombs, and a whole lot of Neuroshima Hex!
The Setup: Again we will have 4 large tables setup with potential seating for 16-20 people indoors. As the warm summer nights are on the horizon, we are considering a partially outdoor setup involving gazebos/lights for some more tables at a future meeting to accommodate larger numbers of people.
Food / Drink: We have cold cans of pop and water bottles available for $1.00 each and microwave popcorn available for $2.00 and assorted candy/gum for those who don’t want to bring their own. (Please refrain from snacks that could be damaging to the board games like cheetos etc.) Crackers, chips, cookies, veggies etc are fine.
One final note: While we want as many people to play the games they want to play as possible, it does mean we may not have either enough interest or players to play certain games. If you come with the intention of playing a specific game, please do not be discouraged if we do not play it this time.

The PlayStation 3 version of one of the world’s most popular board games is coming to the U.S.
Gamers will be able to download Settlers of Catan via the PlayStation Network starting June 15, the game’s official site said Wednesday.
Settlers of Catan is a popular board game created by Klaus Teuber. Since its first publication in 1995, the game has sold 15 million copies. Last year, Wired magazine called it a “perfect” game; we were not exaggerating.
Catan will cost $6.50 and support two- to four-player online games.
Xbox 360 owners have enjoyed playing a different version of Catan, developed by Big Huge Games, since 2007.
The PlayStation version Catan was developed by Game Republic, the Japanese developer responsible for games like Genji and Folklore.
But don’t hold that against them. The videogame developer has a little known sideline in board game design. A handful of its tabletop offerings, such as Owner’s Choice and Shadow Hunters, have been localized for American gamers by Z-Man Games.
Gamers in Europe and Japan have had access to the Game Republic version of Catan for more than a year.

Thanks to everybody who came and had fun at our last meeting. Also a big thank you to Marquis and Game Summit for bringing some games including Catan 3D Collector’s Edition for everyone to try out.
Next Meeting: Monday June 7th 6:30PM – 10:00PM.
We are hoping to play: Power Grid, Puerto Rico, Battle Lore,
Mystery Express, Small World, Manhattan, Chaos in the Old World and many more options available.
It looks like Steve might be bringing Battle Lore for this one, so for those of you who want to try it should be available this time.
The Setup: Again we will have 4 large tables setup with potential seating for 16-20 people indoors. As the warm summer nights are on the horizon, we are considering a partially outdoor setup involving gazebos/lights for some more tables at a future meeting to accommodate larger numbers of people.

Thanks to everybody who came and had fun at our last meeting. We were lucky enough to have 16 Guests on our very first night!
Next Meeting: Monday May 10th 6:30PM – 10:00PM. We are doing these monthly for now as the next two months for us will be very busy in store as we prepare for and celebrate our Store’s 5 Year Anniversary.
We are hoping to try out: Power Grid, Puerto Rico, Battle Lore,
Memoir ’44, Arkham Horror, Small World, Manhattan, Chaos in the Old World and many more options available.
Currently we don’t have an open copy of Battle Lore. Anyone who has this and would like to bring it would be a life-saver.
The Setup: Again we will have 4 large tables setup with potential seating for 16-20 people.
Food / Drink: As these meetings take place in our store there can’t be any form of alcohol. However, we do have cold cans of pop and water bottles available for $1.00 each and microwave popcorn available for $2.00 and assorted candy/gum for those who don’t want to bring their own. (Please refrain from snacks that could be damaging to the board games like cheetos etc.) Crackers, chips, cookies, veggies etc are fine.
One final note: While we want as many people to play the games they want to play as possible, it does mean we may not have either enough interest or players to play certain games. If you come with the intention of playing a specific game, please do not be discouraged if we do not play it this time. We want everyone to have an open mind about trying new games they haven’t played before.
Hope to see you all There!
