My class is done a week earlier than I realized, so please put me and Bryan down for April 4. :) I'll get him signed up for the site as well.

We've never been before, but my son and I would like to attend this one. I understand I should post here to let you know!

Confirming that Bryan Orthner, Carmen Pauls Orthner, and Sara Orthner will be there for April 4. @Shane H if you'd be open to teaching Everdell, that would be great! :) Quacks of Quedlinburg was also mentioned in a recent chat. And @Matt Robertson we could bring Bunny Kingdom if you like - next week or any time. :)  We've only played it once so far but could practice up if anyone else wants to play. I think there's a lot of strategy we haven't learned yet! 😄

I'll be doing some Ambassador work for the first bit of the night, so I have to keep myself open, but I can post Everdell for later on if that works for you? Around 7:45 pm ?

Would love to learn and play this. Not sure what my schedule is like in next couple of weeks. After that should be good though!!!!

Sounds good to me, Shane!

Dungeons, Quacks, Everdell...   I picked a bad week to not be able to be there...  Have fun everyone - see you April 11th.

Maybe Tamara @tlh878 would bring Quacks for April 11?

I will do the LTP with Sushi Go (18:30) and Downforce (19:30)

No Oath this month but will resume next month!

Shane, would it be feasible to move Everdell to April 11? I worry about Sara's stamina for an 8-10 pm game on a school night. :(  She wasn't able to make it out to the eXpo tonight as she was quite tired. April 11 is during the school break so she could sleep in the next day....

I would like to join the d&d game.

Please add me to Raiders of the North Sea

Of course! I'll move it to the 11th and  earlier so we will have more time. I was kind of wondering if perhaps we were getting a bit too late with times on this one.

To admin, please cancel the everdell game. Thanks!

My mom wanted to teach me a game called wizard: the ultimate game of trump. More fun than hearts. More challenging than Rummy. Once I managed to understand the game, I may use this for the learn to play one week. As for the games available now,raiders of the North Sea and Troyes, I am still a little unsure if I should play either or wait until someone posts something more fun.

Thanks, Shane!

I will sign up for Troyes please (Great game!)

: Matt Robertson  Apr 02, 2023, 23:08I will sign up for Troyes please (Great game!)

I agree! I have only played once, and still have my copy in shrink, but would love to play again.  If I wasn't already signed up for a game I would join this.

Too many great games on offer!

I missed out on signing up for a spot in the games! Is it still worth showing up? Are there sometimes extra games for drop-ins?

: bananarchy  Apr 03, 2023, 19:37I missed out on signing up for a spot in the games! Is it still worth showing up? Are there sometimes extra games for drop-ins?

Absolutely worth showing up. There are learn to play games and other games that start impromptu

You can also post any game yourself, there's a good chance people will still sign up for it throughout the day tomorrow.

For future weeks, its worth turning notifications on to see if a cool game is posted. Alternatively, if you know your schedule in advance and you post games yourself a few days early, its almost guaranteed your game will fill up.

: bananarchy  Apr 03, 2023, 19:37I missed out on signing up for a spot in the games! Is it still worth showing up? Are there sometimes extra games for drop-ins?

there are always impromptu games and people that show up without signing up.  We would love to see you out!

Good to know, Tamara! I forgot to check what had been added today - it didn't occur to me.

I'll pack along a couple that we've played and perhaps someone would like to play with us. Or if not, maybe there'll be a game we could join! This is all new to us...

That First Rat game sounds fun, by the way - maybe it will come out again some time?!

I would love to play it's a wonderful world.

Please sign me up for beginner dungeons and dragons at 18:30,

Can you sign me up for the D&D please

My son and I would be interested in Wonderful World, but depends on start time. If it starts at 9 or a bit earlier we'd be down, but after that it might get too late.

New to me as well! Good to know we won't be the only ones figuring it out for the first time lol. We'll also bring a couple games, and if there are a few of us looking for another game we'll have plenty of options.
