paulygcon3: pauly3con (17th - 19th November 2017)

Looking forward to my cup-cake Save me one as usual.

We'll be turning up at some point during the weekend but have to fit some other things in too so not sure exactly when.

Friday - pretty certain we'll be there
Saturday - probably not
Sunday - 50/50

Glad you can make at least some of it!

I'll be along on at least two days, but I might go climbing that weekend so maybe not all three. Last year I forgot my lanyard the second day and had to pay the entrance fee again; hopefully I can avoid that this time.

Yes, security is very tight.
Glad you can make it!

Is there a plan for the weekend? Times or game sign ups or do i just turn up and go with the flow? Should we bring games?
This is probably in the feed which i should re-read
Looking forward to it.

I'm not setting out any sort of plan other than the times (see original post). I'll provide food & drink & tables :-)

You can certainly arrange game sign-ups for a given time if you like, particularly if you want to play something 'more involved'. If you want to reserve the big table for something expansive then that's also fine. Or just turn up and go with the flow! You can certainly bring some games you want to play, but if not then I have a couple. The original theme was 'unplayed games' but really play whatever you like!

You got an unplayed list Paul? I can check some out ahead of schedule. Get a nice new set for next years bring n buy

Sure thing!

Alien Frontiers
Battleship Galaxies (2 player game that might well be a worse X-Wing but looks kind of fun)
Battlestations (could be a good one for Sunday afternoon or something - game where you control a spaceship and also the crew within the ship, looks to be a mix of tactics game and an RPG)
Bruges
Caylus Magna Carta
La Città
The Club (this looks AWFUL)
Coup Rebellion G54
Desert Island (more or less a sequel to Lifeboat)
Game of Thrones
Gold Digger (this looks, er, simple)
Hero Realms
High Society
Igels (this looks DISTURBING)
Kingdom Builder
Menu Masters
Merchant of Venus (I'd definitely be up for a game of this on one of the days too, but it looks pretty long, pick up and deliver type thing)
Oltre Mare
Oregon
Priests of Ra
Rumpelstiltskin
Shadows Over the Empire (this looks like a pretty interesting card game)
Shogun (another long one that I'm keen to play)
Smash Up Munchkin
Sylla
Tiny Epic Galaxies
Tiny Epic Western
Turbo Drift (very quick car racing game using cards to create the course)
Utopia

I think that's more games than I own. Which Game of Thrones is it?

It's the FFG board game, 2nd edition

Good game so long as you don't mind a seriously stabby experience

You haven't played it?!? I'm sure you can arrange a game of that at the club. There are definitely a few people who really like it

Oh, for sure! Probably not a good one for pauly3con but I'll play it some time. Just always seems to clash with something when people arrange it

I agree. I really like the game but every time I play if anyone is seen to be doing quite well there is some serious collaboration and back stabbing on the horizon.

There are loads of games I've missed out on this year as I'm always playing campaign games on Tuesdays.

I'd love to play any of these if people have them and bring them:

Anachrony
La Granja
Isle of Skye
Agra
Terraforming Mars
First Martians
Too Many Bones
Lisboa

What else have I missed?

Oh and I'm definitely in for Battlestations if that happens!

Did you play Great Western Trail yet? Rebellion? Lisboa? 7th Continent?

I've played GWT. I meant to write Lisboa on the list! I'm not super fussed about Rebellion. 7th continent I've backed the reprint so I'll play it eventually!

Alright then! Let's say we'll do that Sunday afternoon. I'll read the rules and find a good first mission. Anyone else who is going to be around on Sunday fancy it? It theoretically plays up to 9, but that would be pretty bad. I should think 4 or 5 is probably good.

Battlestations
1. Paul G
2. Liz
3. Kes
4.
5.

I'm in

Looks fun but I'm not able to commit to Sunday alas. If I'm around and a spot is open though....

Sure thing!

I'm not sure what unplayed stuff I have at home, aside from Pandemic Legacy S2, as I understand there are no spoilers in the prologue game

I have a recent kick starter arrival that I haven't played yet.
Dutch east Indies.
Sailing ships trading resources collecting spices and avoiding or fighting each other and pirates.
No idea what it will be like. But it looks pretty.
Plays upto 4
