I think for the first time in a while I won't be in the "studio" on Tuesday, and I'd actually like to teach a newish game. But first, I'd like to gauge interest. The game in question is Rum & Bones (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/168788/rum-bones) which is a board game take on the popular MOBA-style computer games. Essentially you have 2 teams constantly rushing at each other until you destroy enough (3) objectives to claim victory.
If people are interested, there would be room for 5 more players, and I'd expect it to wrap up in 90 minutes or less. I can start as early as 7:30, but I imagine people will probably be tied up in other games, so I'm open for suggestions on the start time. (I can't get there any earlier though)
I would be interested in Rum & Bones! Maybe 8:00 so games that start at 6:30 can get done?

And yes its based on the TV series from the 1960's. It plays fast so there is a chance to play more than once.
yes please to Thunderbirds!!!!

START TIME: 6:30
DURATION: 120 minutes (both BGG and the box say 90, but as I remember it took longer when we played it)

I ran this rare game at PWYF for the first time and had a really enjoyable time playing it. It is a worker placement / bidding game set in 3rd century China where 3 rival warlords are trying to seize control of the country, based on the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms which many PC & video games have covered in the last 20 years. Basically each warlord will draft a random starting hand of generals that have different attributes and special powers. The generals are used to bid on different action spots on the board, the warlord with the highest strength on the spot at the end of the round wins the right to take the action. There are some area control elements as well, players can fight over borders with their opponents. Like most games it is won by who has the most VPs, they can be earned in a variety of ways: border control, infrastructure development, domestic harmony and title rank to name a few. The estimated play time on the box is 135 to 165 min. but I put 4 hours as a rough extra time estimate to teach 2 new first time players (we played it in 4 hrs. at PWYF when it was my 1st game). The reason I haven't brought this out earlier is that we will need exactly 3 players, I'm hoping there's a few interested people out there willing to try out this gem.
Sign me up for Shadows Over Camelot - I've wanted to try it for awhile!
Also, can you add El Grande for 8:30, with silent_rob as one of the players?

I got called in to work overtime today, so I'm going to delay the start time of Three Kingdoms Redux from 6:30 to 7:00pm. I'm hoping to be there by 6:45, but better safe than sorry.
