10 at Purple Dragon Games on Wednesday September 8
We adjusted to allow for two midweight games on each table after our obligatory opener allowed for stragglers to arrive.
Good to see Ben return for the first time since session #1..
We wish all the best to Edward in his first year at the prestigious Bronx High School of Science. He will be visiting Williamstown on weekends and school breaks.

I will be unable to be at the 9/15 and 9/22 sessions. Sean will lead the 9/15 session and Armando will lead the 9/22session. Kindly cooperate with both of them.
I will be playing with my former LI Gamenite crew on Friday 9/17 for the first time since early March 2020.

A reminder that proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required on your first visit to Purple Dragon Games as are masks.
Remember to ask Niko to order any games you want to buy that are not on display.

IN: K-ban, Sandy, Sean, Wendy, Emmett, Quinn, Armando, Edward, Kitty, Ben

ON THE TABLES:

Take It Easy – this classic puzzle bingo-like has taken hold as an opener or closer….as it can handle any number of players and is easy to add stragglers as they arrive. Try the iPhone app for solo play.

then it was time for dueling 5-player cauldron/ingredient games – Quacks and Whirling Witchcraft

Quacks of Quedlinburg – K-ban led the 2018 German Gamers Game of the year….buy ingredients and then decide when to push your luck in a bag-builder. First time for Armando and Ben. Adding the Geekup bits for the ingredients makes this a more tactile experience.

Whirling Witchcraft – Sean led for the 2nd time this 2021 very recent AEG release. Cards being passed one way in a draft while cauldrons pass in the opposite direction. We’re just scratching the surface here and it has caught on.
