(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1431241_md.jpg&hash=28ece8245eea61bde3b62d972570f2f44ca62d0a)
99% sure this is under the tree, been wanting to play for about 6 months so it will be starting at 6:30
In Kemet, players each deploy the troops of an Egyptian tribe and use the mystical powers of the gods of ancient Egypt – along with their powerful armies – to score points in glorious battles or through invasion of rich territories. A game is typically played to 8 or 10 victory points, which may be accrued through winning attacks, controlling temples, controlling fully-developed pyramids, sacrificing to the gods, and wielding particular magical powers.
The conquest for the land of Kemet takes place over two phases: Day and Night. During the day, choose an action amongst the nine possible choices provided by your player mat and perform it immediately. Once every player has taken five actions, night falls, with players gathering Prayer Points from their temples, drawing Divine Intervention cards, and determining the turn order before the start of the new day.
As the game progresses, they can use Prayer Points to acquire power tiles. Some of these enroll magical creatures and have them join their troops. In addition to intimidating enemies, these creatures provide special powers!
Detailed miniature components represent the combat units and the supernatural creatures that are summoned to enhance them. Combat is resolved through cards chosen from a diminishing six-card hand and enhanced by bonuses.
I'd like to bring 2 games.
Power Grid: First Sparks

2-6 Players
It says an hour to play, but as I've never played before, it will probably take 90 minutes.
Power Grid: Factory Manager

Ok fess up...what did everyone get? :D
We now have Munchkin Deluxe. Would like to bring it out...anyone interested? Plays up to 6.
QuoteWe now have Munchkin Deluxe. Would like to bring it out
What time would you like to start?
This'll probably be a Risk Legacy night for those in the league. I've got two others confirmed, just waiting to hear from the other two :3
After we (hopefully) get a couple games in, I'll probably have a couple light games with me for afterwards, depending on how long we take.
QuoteThis'll probably be a Risk Legacy night for those in the league.
Cool. Let us know when you have the confirmation and we'll add the details to the top of the schedule.
Please add myself as well as Tyson to Kemet. Thanks!
Confirming for risk legacy league night
Sign me up for Kemet, please and thanks.
Well, Kemet sure filled up quick.
Picked up Last Will and was planning on bringing that out on the 7th as well. Start time around 8:30, whenever we finish off Kemet.

In his last will, your rich uncle stated that all of his millions will go to the nephew who can enjoy money the most. How to find out which nephew should be rich? You will each be given a large amount of money and whoever can spend it first will be the rightful heir. Visit the most exclusive theatres or eat in the most expensive restaurants. Buy old properties for the price of new ones and sell them as ruins. Host a huge party in your mansion or on your private boat. Spend like your life would depend on it. Spend to become rich! If you're the first to run through the money on hand, you'll receive the rest of his inheritance – oh, and win the game.
I finally have a day with no hockey.
I would like to bring Dark Darker Darkest
Its about 90 -120 min in length.
For 2-5 players.
Say around 8:30? seems to be when the 2nd round starts.
(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1429220_md.jpg&hash=b3cb61d4ffb1bbec2cdfb0bc31e429943372cfb0)
Dark Darker Darkest is an intense cooperative survival horror game in which a team of urban survivors try to fight the darkness in an unsettling location: the house of Doctor Mortimer, which holds the antidote to a virus turning the world into an army of undead.
Players must gather the optimal tools to open doors, control destructive fires that slowly destroy the locations of the game, and battle the endless hordes of terrifying creatures that will do anything to slaughter this fragile group, while outsneaking lurking creatures and the eye of the ever-present security cameras guarding the secrets of the house.
The game uses innovative mechanisms for group-forming and mixes item management (using a color-code system), exploration, stealth, and icon-driven combat to form an intense tactical experience in a strongly thematic setting riddled with surprises and variation. All the creatures and other challenges are controlled by the A.I. of the game system. The board is modular, creating a unique narrative experience for each session.
Can you fight the darkness?
Ill try Last Will.
I'm going to cancel on Power Grid Factory Manager. I will still bring first sparks though. Instead sign me up for Dark Darker Darkest.
Please sign up Becky and myself for Dark Darker Darkest. Thanks!
I'd like to try out Last Will as well, please.
Sign me up for Dark, Darker, Darkest, please.
Don't forget to sign me up for Dark, Darker Darkest, please!

I might have to quit while I'm ahead! :P
I have signed up for Power Grid: First Sparks to start the night off.
I'll be there, not sure if I'll sign up for anything beforehand though.
Hey, to all the Risk Legacy peeps, I won't be there until about 7:30 since I have to work until 7 I'm afraid. Still good to go otherwise.
I'm still in for Risk Legacy.. and 7:30, just have to find a game till then ::)
Can I still get into First Sparks?
I'd like to sign up for 'What's he building in there?'
Damn, looks like a full lineup of games and people this week. Unfortunately, I am stranded in Minneapolis so I am going to miss it. :(
Have fun!!!

Try Power Grid: First Sparks.
I have played it twice now, so I know how it works now. Last night we played, and it was 45 minutes. (But we were trying to go fast).
I'd like to get in on What's He Building In There, sign me up please!
I'd like to register for "What's He Building in There?" Thanks!
Can you sign up Wendy j and Sam j for lords of waterdeep
Late notice, but I'm going to be bringing Euphoria tonight, finally got my first game of it in yesterday. =) I'll bring it and set it up even if no one signs up here, I know I'm a bit late in posting it. :P (Up to 6 Players, 120min @ 6:30pm)
(https://sask.games/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcf.geekdo-images.com%2Fimages%2Fpic1615561_md.jpg&hash=c8535fe4a174cc8f9f093a60206654177bb0eceb) | In Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia, you lead a team of workers (dice) and recruits (cards) to claim ownership of the dystopian world. You will generate commodities, dig tunnels to infiltrate opposing areas, construct markets, collect artifacts, strengthen allegiances, and fulfill secret agendas.
Euphoria is a worker-placement game in which dice are your workers. The number on each die represents a worker's knowledge – that is, his level of awareness that he's in a dystopia. Worker knowledge enables various bonuses and impacts player interaction. If the collective knowledge of all of your workers gets too high, one of them might desert you. You also have two elite recruit cards at your disposal; one has pledged allegiance to you, but the other needs some convincing. You can reveal and use the reticent recruit by reaching certain milestones in the game...or by letting other players unwittingly reach those milestones for you.
Your path to victory is paved with the sweat of your workers, the strength of your allegiances, and the tunnels you dig to infiltrate other areas of the world, but the destination is a land grab in the form of area control. You accomplish this by constructing markets that impose harsh restrictions of personal freedoms upon other players, changing the face of the game and opening new paths to victory. You can also focus on gathering artifacts from the old world, objects of leisure that are extremely rare in this utilitarian society. The dystopian elite covet these artifacts – especially matching pairs – and are willing to give you tracts of land in exchange for them. |
Is there an open spot for Kemet now? If so please sign me up for it. It sounds awesome.
Just a reminder that it is draw night! :excited
