I have Century but won't be down this week (that's an entire month I've missed!). Fancy a game next week?

Yeah sure I played it today but I'm happy to play it again.

Anyone interesting in bringing Agricola/Caylus/Terra Mystica/Tigris?

Still looking to play 10x games of Memoir 44 this year, and so far I'm on 2. Anyone want to play my copy, maybe before 7 o'clock or later in the evening? It's quite simple and short (<1 hour) and I'm no good at it, if that helps convince anyone.

I'll do a memoir 44 with you Sam. I'll be there a little after 6

I'd be up for TM if it appeared...

Hi all
I have to take the dog to the vets at 6ish. Hopefully should be back in time. But depending on traffic and outcome of the visit I may be late.
I'll let you know

I'm happy to bring my copy of Terra Mystica (plus expansion?) for you to play if you like? (I'm playing New Angeles myself)

I'm always up for a game of TM.

That'd be great, Paul, thanks

Can I get in on Terrace Terra Mystica?

I vaguely recall this was one of the games I had on my list for aiming to play 5 times this year. If I play tonight that would make it 2 so far.

It adds a few things, each of which is optional:
- faction auction at the start
- variable turn order based on passing order
- an alternative map
- new factions & terrain types
- different final scoring possibilities

The faction auction is definitely worthwhile (bid using starting VPs on which faction you want) and the variable turn order makes a great deal of sense. Different final scoring tiles are interesting and add no complexity and the new map is fine if you're bored of the old one. I'd say that the new factions are a bit more complex from what I remember (I've only played with them once) so I'd probably leave them out unless you've all played it a few times.

Enjoyed New Angeles tonight.
Anyone fancy battlestar galactica at some point?

I have Exodus as well,. Tend to mix and match bits from each expansion when I play Either way definitely up for a game sometime!

Really enjoyed the Mechs Vs Minions game last night - it took us a while to complete it but it was never dull - we were frequently in trouble but never *completely* screwed and the game kept the pressure on throughout.

Think this was the most entertaining mission I've played (so far, at least)
