Start times for any of the games we bring depends on if anyone is interested in playing anything we have brought and how fast we finish supper. If we don't get through all of these this week we can bring them until those that want to try them have done so.

Hi Oren & Sam,

Thank you so much for posting so many wonderful games and agreeing to teach them to other attendees.  When we post games we like to have an anticipated start time because many of our attendees try to schedule two or three games in a night.  Although the flexibility is wonderful, it makes it hard for others to schedule themselves in.

However, we do have "Players Wanted" signs that anyone can use once they get to the venue indicating they have space available at the game they are hosting/teaching.  It's a great way for people to join in at Boston Pizza without having signed up in advance.

I will add your list of games to the main posting with a note to seek you out if people are interested in playing any of them, and I would encourage you take advantage of the "Players Wanted" signs once you get to Boston Pizza and decide what you want to play.

Feel free to look for me, Mick, or the ambassador for this week (Carlos) if you have any questions or want help trying to find people to fill your games.

I look forward to seeing you out at Chewsday Challenge.

Please sign me up for First Rat at 20:30, thanks!
