CLUB INFO:
Don't let the club's name fool you.
A variety of games are played in addition to wargames. A few of the gamers are
really into wargames. If you like boardgames, we
are sure that you can find and get into a game you like to play. We are very
patient with people who are new to a game. Euro style games are also very
popular among our members and only a few of us are actually hard-core wargame
people.
We are constantly introducing new
and reissued games at our meetings as well as older classics. Our group plays a
variety of games and it is always interesting to see what they will bring to
the next meeting. The casual board or card games are played, occasionally a
collector card game is demonstrated or played, while usually a long wargame or
two of some sort is going on.
Some games that were played at
meetings include Roll for the Galaxy, Ra, Lords of Waterdeep,
Airlines, Dominion, Stone Age, Splendor, Roll Through the Ages, St. Petersberg (both old and NEW editions), The Hell of
Stalingrad, Jena 20, Through the Ages, Ivanhoe, Ark, Princes of Florence, The
NEWEST Fantasy Flight Version of Merchants of Venus, Combat Commander:Europe,
Caylus, Goa, San Juan (NEW VERSION) , Race for the
Galaxy, Goa, Puerto Rico, El Grande, Wyatt Earp, Hannibal:Rome
vs. Carthage, Sweden Fights On, The Battle of Five Armies, Attilla,
and Forbidden Stars (based on Battlefleet
Gothic)!
Some NEW GAMES hitting the tables in
recent sessions:
Columbia Games “The Last Spike” is a
railroading game that reminded players of Acquire. A shorter game, but lots of fun.
Ravensburger’s “Las Vegas” is a quick dice rolling and placement game that
is interesting and a nice “filler” game because it plays so quickly.
Rio Grande’s “Concordia” is seeing
regular play, including some of the expansions.
Easy to grasp game of placement, deck management, and production.
Kraken Games “Asking for Troibles” A science Fiction Game of gathering goods and
upgrading until you have the necessary items to capture the Troibles
(anybody see a Star Trek Tie in here)
Light hearted fun.
