I finally got my hands on a copy of Codenames! I'd love to bring it out for say 8? I'd say it'd work best with minimum of 6 people. Assuming people aren't sick of this one already.
All the spots have been taken hopefully we can play t.i.m.e stories at 830 players me Barry Kim Nikki it should be around 90 mins

What's the maximum number of players you'd want? It really helps us out if you fill in the template.
Please sign me up for Codenames.
I'd say to avoid taking up too much space, 8 players.
I'm going to bring out Five Tribes. Please put myself and Jay on the player list. Thanks!

Bryce, Tempest cancelled...
Mark M and I are playing our Twilight Struggle league game at 6:30 as well. If it gets busy right at 6:30 we'll wait until the restaurant opens up.
Does anyone mind if I bring out Cards Against Humanity tonight? My family currently is borrowing my uncle's deck plus expansion and I don't have to work until 6 pm the next day so we can play later in the night.

Actually, that is not a family appropriate game so we do not feel it is appropriate at this event.
EDIT: See item #1 in event FAQ

Ok, understood.
Apparently Scott young cannot make it tonight so sadly, lifeboats is cancelled. :(

Announcements:
- An announcement was made to clarify rules around gamers attending Chewsday Challenge and going to eat food in the non-gaming area. If Chewsday Challenge Gamers arrive, sign in, and proceed to the non-gaming area for food, they should go to the front to be seated by the host/hostess rather than seating themselves. This will help us follow standard restaurant protocol and ensure the Boston Pizza staff know those individuals are, in fact, in the non-gaming area for food rather than games.
- Prairie Game eXpo is fast approaching on Saturday January 23, 2016 from 9am to 9pm at the Core Ritchie Centre. Many games are being posted or advertised on the forum thread, Learn-To-Play sessions and Tournaments being hosted at the event, and much more! Of note, the details concerning a Dexterity Tournament at PGX have just been posted on the thread and PGX attendees are encouraged to sign-up in advance.
- Jason Szarkowicz attended this Chewsday Challenge and volunteered his time to help newcomers to the event and/or to Sask Games sign-up for a user account on the forum site. He even gave each of these individuals a brief overview of the content of the website and how to navigate through it, which will be an offering we provide periodically at different Sask Games events. Thanks Jason!
- We provided some pretty amazing stats as well—the total attendance for all Chewsday Challenge events in 2015 was 2,577 people. Amazing! Thanks for this info, Lori!
- It was draw night! Bryce Robinson won the $25 Boston Pizza gift certificate. Cheryl-Lynn Zimmer's name was drawn for the $50 ComicReaders gift card but was not in attendance and so it will be carried over for next month.

Holy cow! 77?? Is that a record?
I was so into my game that I didn't notice how busy it was until about 10:00.

Tied with the record. We had 77 people one other time.
Were two more added after I left?
(and I'm showing 84 for July 7/15)
