We just got back from BGG.con and can't stop thinking about games! We know this is a few weeks out, but we hope you can make it.

A casual night of gaming in Tim and Karen's Game Room. Feel free to bring games or use any of the favorites we have on the shelves.

The bar is usually stocked, but feel free to bring whatever beverages or snacks you need!

This is the usual Thursday night gaming session at the Sentry Box.

As the Sentry Box will technically be closed, you need to go to the back entrance to be let in if you arrive after normal store closing (which is at 6pm). There will be many store demo copies on hand and I will be around
to help if people need it. I can make periodic trips downstairs if people want to buy a specific item or food and pop.

It's possible if you turn up after 6.30pm that you may have to wait to get into a game but hopefully there will be enough people around that everyone should get in a game right away. Don't be shy about asking other people to play!!

Do you like Agricola? Do you think you are the greatest farmer ever? Then come down to play in our Agricola tournament and test your ploughing, sowing and baking skills!

This will be free to enter. All players who sign up will be randomly allocated to a table. We will be playing the full game but using only the 'E' deck of occupations and minor improvements. The winner will be the player with the highest points score on any table.

1st prize will be a brand new copy of Neuland
2nd prize will be a brand new copy of Saboteur

Just come down on the day and sign up to participate. Greg will be moderating the event and taking all the registration details.

Rekindled by member Dan Osness. We'll play from 7pm to 11pm. Because of the short playing time, I'd recommend showing up as close to 7 as possible so games can be organized as quickly as possible.

> What will you be doing at your Meetup?

Playing a variety of boardgames and card games. Attendees supply whichever games they wish to play. The focus tends to be on the newest, highest-rated family-friendly strategy games.

> Who should come? Are newcomers welcome?

Anybody is welcome to come. Past attendees have included 15-year-olds to 60-year-olds, men and women, students and professionals. Feel free to bring along some friends, especially if you want to play a specific game.

> Do members need to bring anything?

Only the games you wish to play. There is always an abundance of games there to be played so if you don't mind learning something new, then you really don't need to bring anything other than a good attitude.

> Why should people come?

Meet new people; learn new games in a casual, friendly environment; exercise some brain cells; socialize & hang out; have FUN!
