Board Games in Brooklyn! (Now with less Hurricane)
posted November 5, 2012 8:48 AM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sat December 1 at 2:00 PM, ocherdraco's apartment (192 E 8th St #4D)
192 E 8th St, Brooklyn, NY, USA (Map & Directions)
Let's try again, shall we? We have Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, Scrabble, and Risk, and I will probably buy Small World or Dominion before this comes around. We have three tables for playing games, and will provide a small amount of snacks. Bring snacks and drinks that you'd like to have. I propose that we do this on either Saturday, Dec. 1, or Sunday, Dec. 2. Once again, we'll start at 2pm.
Regarding snacks: I know there will be at least one vegan in attendance, so vegan-friendly snacks would be appreciated.
Saturday for me as well!

There's a slim chance I can't do Sunday. But I remain enthusiastic about board game meetups, regardless of my ability to attend.

The afternoon of Saturday, December 1st would be great! I'm happy to bring a variety of snacks both vegan and non-vegan.

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and declare that it will be Saturday, since that seems to be the preference.

Now without everything shutting down early, I'll bring Carcassonne.

I really hope to be able to make this one. I don't know if I'll be bringing my boyfriend because he hibernates on the weekends.

If you're not familiar with any of these games:
+ Small World.
+ Ticket to Ride.
+ Pandemic.
(I love TableTop.)
I need to replace my lost Fluxx deck. I may pick up Star Fluxx if I can...

I am happy to go pretty well into the evening. We'll play it by ear.

I can't make it on Saturday, but I'd definitely be interested in the future.

I will bring Agricola. Also if someone else can bring Catan (my former roommate has reclaimed his), then I can bring Cities&Knights, which is clearly the best expansion of the original.

I realized I am dreadfully overbooked this weekend, but this is one I'm not going to miss. The boyfriend, OTOH, is likely to show up near the end.

I am so busy and jammed from procrastinating. Might wind up here a little late.

Running about 30-40 min late. I never give myself enough time to do laundry and I mistimed the trains/busses.

No worries if you're running late, y'all.

Would it be sensible to show up around 5 or would people be getting tired and winding down?

That was delightful! Games played this time include Tsuro, Small World, Race for the Galaxy, Carcassonne, and RoboRally. Photos here.
If you missed it, never fear! We'll shortly be announcing the date for January's board game meetup.

Also someone left a tote bag (3 images of Italian cities on it).

That was my bag. It was thin and started to get a hole, so you can toss it.
