If you would like to schedule a game. Please post in this event thread with the following information:
Name of the game, when you would like to start, The duration of the game, and the number of players it can accommodate.Due to the overwhelming success of ChewsDay Challenge we might need to limit table space in the early evening if attendance is high and the restaurant is busy. We ask that larger-sized games be planned for 7:30 and later after Boston Pizza's dinner rush when we can spill out into the dining area, if needed, and with the restaurant's permission. Please be considerate when choosing your table area to maximize player density. Thank you for helping make ChewsDay Challenge a success!

GAME TITLE: FIASCO (A Game of Thrones)
TEACHER: Dyson Yobb
START TIME: 7:30pm
DURATION: 2 Hours
# OF PLAYERS: 5
URL: http://www.bullypulpitgames.com/games/fiasco/
FIASCO is an award-winning, GM-less roleplaying game for 3-5 players, designed to be played in a few hours with six-sided dice and no preparation. Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong, such as: Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan. The playlist I found and will be using is based on Game of Thrones.
This RPG is heavy on the role playing and light on die rolling so be prepared to draw heavily upon your improve acting skills and imaginations!
If you'd like to see the tabletop demo:

I think I'll sign up for FIASCO (A Game of Thrones), please. Watched the Tabletop Episode and looked like fun.
I'd like to bring out Cosmic Encounter, the game of interstellar diplomacy/backstabbery, for 6:30. Players are the leaders of various alien races with different rule-bending/breaking powers. Whoever gets 5 colonies on 5 foreign planets first through negotiation, cunning and battle wins (it's really up to the players and their playing styles).
This is a teaching game, mostly using the basic rules, so everyone's welcome to play (if more experienced players sign-up we can add in trickier aliens, etc.). I've got the base game so it's limited to 5 players. Duration is can vary with 60-120min being a pretty accurate range but it can go as short as 45min.

I'm already signed up for Arcadia Quest, but I promise I'll stop being a dongus and give this a try sooner or later!
Sorry, I spoke too soon. I'm going to have to drop out for Tuesday as I've got too many conflicting plans, this week. Please cancel Cosmic Encounter - I'll bring it out another night.

Finally got a few players for Castaways!
GAME TITLE: Castaways
TEACHER: RTigger
START TIME: 8:30
DURATION: 2h
# OF PLAYERS: 4
URL: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/71906/castaways
(save a spot for bboileau please :)
Castaways is a competitive collaboration game about four castaways who are stranded on a small island. They must collaborate to improve their shelter, gather food to eat and wood to keep the campfire burning, and figure out how to advance to the interior of the island, as only from the vantage point of the highest spot on the island will they have a view of the vast ocean – and even more importantly, a view of the ship on the horizon that promises rescue! The players must manage their time in order to deliver a signal to this passing vessel – but even if they're all rescued, in the end only one player will win, that being the one who writes the best story at the end of the game, the one who lives and retells the greatest adventure from all the survivors, the one who has collected the most story points.

Wow, tons of games coming out tonight - it's going to be busy!
Please add Logan and Hannah to Eldritch Horror list. Thanks.
I will be out tonight, probably have a couple of mid-weight euros in tow. See everyone soon...
PS. I would like to try Trench. :)
Sorry, I'm going to have to cancel for Ticket to Ride tonight :(
Eldritch Horror may not start until 7:00 now. Just an FYI for those signed up, but I hope it isn't an issue for anyone.
I may not be able to make it tonight, so it's probably for the best that nobody has signed up yet. Normally, does no sign-ups translate into no players? Would I be better off signing up for somebody else's game when I haven't heard anything on the website by the evening-of?

Quite often there are a number of people who just show up and play. I believe you will get players on any given evening.

There are a lot of people that don't sign up for games and just show up night of to see what's out there. If there's something you see that you want to play and you haven't heard anything from anyone, I think it's safe to remove your game and join another one. But if you would really like to play yours I would suggest just bringing it out one night even if no one has signed up and see if you can get some people to play.
Experience: I bring a lot of games out that no one has ever heard of, get no one to sign up, but end up roping people in the night of. ;D
