The month of Uwe continues with one of his lost (also out-of-print and fairly rare) games, Merkator. It's a bit of a dry Euro cube-pusher, and it's likely the least well-regarded of his "big games", but there's a really neat economic mechanic and some really cool interplayer dynamics involved.

GAME: Merkator (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39684/merkator)
TEACHER: Derek T.
START TIME: 19:00
DURATION: 120 mins.
# OF PLAYERS: 4

I'll also bring out his unique trick-taking game Bargain Hunter (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/338/bargain-hunter) if there's time afterward.

Confirming for Thunder Road - thanks!

Mogul is a auction / bidding game where you pass around a big wooden bowl and either add a cube to it or take all the cubes to buy rail lines. Why does this game need a bowl? I don't know but I bought it and its time to finally play it. haha

I'll join in on Undergrove!

David P.

The Viticulture game Bryan posted is to provide an intro or refresher ahead of The Fellowship of the Game's "Pasta and Viticulture FUNdraising Evening" on Sept. 30. If there's enough interest for a second game, or another game next week, we can post that! :)

Confirming for Thunder Road! Also please sign me up for Mogul afterwards ☺️

Learn to Play games will be Monkey  (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/198615/monkey)and Mojo (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/395846/mojo).

I'd like to play Awkward Guests. I'm not sure whether Sara will want to join a longer game or not, but she will be there so we'll see. :)

Bulk order delivery tonight!

Amelia is having website issues so she asked me to add her to Awkward Guests.

I'll sign up for the last spot of awkward guests unless Sara wants to play

Go ahead, Jeremy. :)

I'm not playing Crib Wars - is there another Carmen coming? I think just Kristy and Christina are signed up for that so far.

: Carmen Pauls Orthner  Sep 17, 2024, 11:46I'm not playing Crib Wars - is there another Carmen coming? I think just Kristy and Christina are signed up for that so far.

Dunno why I added you. Thanks for pointing that out!

Sorry, please remove me from Merkator.  I had some family issues come up and am now unable to attend.

(Wasn't sure I'd be attending until now, so sorry for the late posting. It might already be too inconvenient for the administrator to add this to the appropriate section, but I post the game here in the hope of creating some interest.)

How about a fairly straightforward card game from the creator of Terraforming Mars? It features hand management, pattern building, and worker placement.
