Welcome to Danny, Edward & Kitty, Micah, Margaret & Zach
3 tables with 5 different table leaders

At the tables: K-ban, Sean & Wendy, Armando, Drew, Mike, Kaleb, Danny, Micah, Edward & Kitty, Margaret and Zach.

On our tables:

Tumbin’ Dice – mindless flicking fun that served as a filler until all arrived

Century: Golem Edition – K-ban led a full complement of 5. If you enjoy Bazaar and /or Splendor you should own a copy of Century. This is the first in a trilogy (with both spice road and Golem editions) www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/232832/century-golem-edition

Dominion – Armando led using K-ban’s custom made set on laminated wooden chips making it into a bag builder making it easier to ‘shuffle’ and breathed new life into the game. Thanks Armando for organizing the two poker chip cases.

Carcassonne (with Cathedrals & Inns) – Drew led in this 2000 tile laying classic with the first expansion (2002). There have been a multitude of expansions.

Geschenkt (aka No Thanks)- Drew led this push your luck 2004 super filler. In my LI group this was a favorite opener for the Dragon (Steve Adragna)

Uluru – aborted as not color-blind friendly.

Everdell – Sean led this currently hot 2018 worker placement game. Some clever twists to the genre’. The most complex game we’ve tackled so far.

Sean will be preparing to lead Bunny Kingdom (Richard Garfield design)
www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/184921/bunny-kingdom

Armando will be preparing to lead Okanagan: Valley of the Lakes (IMHO an improvement over Carcassonne) www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/230089/okanagan-valley-lakes as well as:
Crack the Code (2021 KickStarter) :Crack the Code is a limited communication, co-operative puzzle game in which players form a hacker team that tries to build a piece of code before they run out of moves and their program is terminated. Players can see the marbles in front of their teammates, but they cannot see the marbles in front of themselves. Using a series of action cards, they work together to rearrange the marbles to build a certain sequence before they run through the deck.

K-ban has very recently received  copies of Canvas and Cosmic Factory. I’m expecting delivery of a new cooperative word association party game – So Clover www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/329839/so-clover

If you know of other area gamers who might enjoy our sessions, please send me their e-mail addresses.
