*** ChewsDay Challenge ***

What: The ChewsDay Challenge series of events is part of an initiative to host a public weekly game night that is welcoming to new members and is a way for people new to boardgames to experience a beginner friendly atmosphere. A opportunity for people new to designer board games or veterans of the hobby to come out, meet 'n' greet, and play some games.   This is held at a great location with full food and beverage service. Come on out and try some games.

The venue is also a great place for Wargamers and Strategy Gamers to come out and play a game. There are some titles that are hard to get to the table, let's try to get them the attention they deserve at a ChewsDay Challenge.

Where: North Albert St. Boston Pizza (Regina)

When: Every ChewsDay night of course, see date on this post for this particular event.

Who: Anyone interested in playing boardgames. The venue is suitable for many different styles of games: (Wargames, Euro Games, Crokinole, Chess, Go, Scrabble, Backgammon, etc.)

Why: Life is Short; Play Games!
Although not necessary, we urge you to post in this thread if you are coming and what games you might bring or would like to play. Prearranging some games helps get some of the harder titles to the table. Perhaps you have seen someone post about a game in THIS THREAD, this might be an opportunity to get them to bring out the game and show you.

If you are new to the gaming scene in the City of Regina, come on out and meet some others. Feel free to come a bit early and grab a bite to eat. See you there!!! 
Every ChewsDay Challenge, we will have a Game Host on site to teach a game. This is a great way for new players to experience a game in a beginner friendly environment. The Weekly Game will be set up at 6:15pm and players are urged to be there for 6:30. The feature game will start at 6:45pm. Note: A number of us go early (5ish) to grab a bite to eat, you are welcome to join us.

Without further adieu, here is the Game Host of the week:


THIS WEEK'S HOST: Marc Bendig
THIS WEEK'S GAME: Settlers of Catan
# OF PLAYERS: 4

 
There are lots of people bringing games out to play on ChewsDay Challenge Game Nights. To help attendees maximize their gaming experience we can help schedule games into slots for planning purposes. Post in the thread if you want to schedule a game and have folks sign up in advance. There are TWO basic time slots for this. 6:30pm time slot and 8:30pm. This is the start time for these games. They will be set up earlier. If you sign up for a game, please be there at least 15 minutes prior to start or your seat may be given to someone else. This is not mandatory, casual open gaming is still very much encouraged as well. Whether you wish to plan your game night or just show up and play it by ear, game on...

I will be teaching Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game in the second time slot (8:30pm). It is a 2-player game, and I will bring enough miniatures to run two tables with 2 players at each table. I can teach the game but don't have to be an active player. That said, if we are short a player at a table I will definitely lock S-foils into attack position...

If you are interested in playing and have your own miniatures feel free to post what ships you're bringing. We can always reserve more tables for X-Wing or even run a team game.

I am bringing 2 X-Wing, 4 Tie Fighters, 1 Y-Wing and 1 Tie Advanced. I also have all the markers and cards from 2 Core Games. And I have two 3 x 3 black felt playing surfaces, and a 4 x 6 starfield map!

Hey chad I'm interested I'm xwing I have some the y wing and the core set  i will bring it on Tuesday

[Tempest]

Hey, I'll be there next Tuesday, barring any major catastrophes/miracles. I'll be bringing Formula D. If anyone is interested in checking it out, and/or considering the league I'd like to start up (which can be found here: http://sask.games/index.php?topic=2216.0 not much info yet) we can use this as a chance to test out the game and figure out what rules work, etc. I do realize 'league' has extra competitive connotations, but I think my goal is just to have a monthly game with continual scoring over say 4-6 months mostly for the experience of it; I think it adds an interesting narrative to the game. That being said, if people are interested, we could potentially also discuss incentives. Nothing serious, but perhaps something more than the glory of victory? I don't know, just throwing stuff out there at this point.
