Susan is in too by the way ...How about 7pm or even earlier if want because we are home all day that day. We are happy to host the game at our apartment HERE, but we live kind of far away from all of you I think. We are open to other locations if our place is too out of the way. So what do you all think?

I'm fine with meeting at your place. I can do 7 or earlier.

Are we going to play Touch of Evil? I can bring some other stuff as well since Touch of Evil only talks about 90 minutes to play.

I'll be there, but may be a little late. It is about an hour from my house (as you guys well know), so I will need to drop my daughters off at the house after work, then leave to go to your place. I should be there by 7:30pm.

BTW, does anyone have Container? Definitely a Euro-commie game (hey! If they can call our games Ameri-trash, I can call their Euro-commie), but it looks interesting. It grabbed my attention after watch a video review of it. Of course, as with most Euro-commie games, I would like to play it first before deciding to buy it.

Is there anything you would like me to bring Friday?

I actually played Container this past weekend. My friends really liked it, but I'm kind of on the fence about it. I'm generally not a big fan of games that require negotiation though.

You can play without negotiating, which is how I played on Friday. But I lost miserably and didn't have much fun. I can see why people like it, but it just didn't do much for me.

It just felt like I was making a lot of arbitrary decisions and at the end of the game everybody got a score handed down from heaven.

On a different note, has anybody ever played Die Macher? I have it and have only played it once and would like to play it again. It's not an option for this week, but maybe in the future. It does take a long time to play (close to 5 hours), but I think it's a fascinating game. Plus its an election game so it's seasonly appropriate.
