Comments, Suggestions?

• I am not sure I can make it, but I will bring my board games – Sheila

• I would like to see Robo rally. – ? Looks like we’ll need a few experience players. - Dean; I’ve only played it once I don’t mind if the experienced players beat up on me. Wow! It’s been reprinted. I just ordered it. – Sheila :) – I’ll bring my copy – Jono.

• I would like to play on Thursday after evening volunteer activities are completed. – ? Sounds fun, but we may want to choose something light if we’re tired from Tutorials and bag stuffing. – Dean; That’s what Apples To Apples is for – Sheila; Excellent! Carcassonne, Munchkin, and Chinese Checkers may also fit this bill. -Dean – What time would this be? –Larry

• I’ve got Empire Builder, Russian Rails and Lunar Rails. Need external interest of I’m going to haul them, I enjoy these but am still learning. Longer play time. – Dean

• I’ll bring the games I’ve mentioned above if there’s solid interest; I might have to drive (vs. taking the El) if I’m bringing more than one, though. — Tom; I’m interested in Ticket to Ride, Fluxx and curious about Arkham. - Dean

• I have Kill Dr. Lucky if I can find it – Sheila

• Any folks interested in Power Grid? - Dean

• I was curious what board game is most like Galcon, or if there’s a particular game that would be themed for a Galcon varient? Galcon Event. Hellas?

• I wanna try Alien City–it’s one of the Piecepack games. http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/AlienCity –Larry
