- Dune: Imperium
- Churchill
- Hadrian’s Wall

If anyone is interested in playing a game from their collection, please let me know. I am always open to new games.

In Terraforming Mars, you control a corporation, and you buy and play cards describing different projects.

- ArcsCharles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library, Alexandria, VA
We will be playing Arcs with up to 4 players. If you have a copy of the game that you can bring please let me know and I will open the event to more players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes.
Arcs is a sci-fi strategy game set in a dark yet silly universe. Players represent officials from a distant, decaying and neglectful Empire who are now free to vie for dominance whether through battle, gathering scarce resources or diplomatic intrigue. A deck of cards defines the action selection system. These cards are played in a trick-taking adjacent system to select actions, take the initiative and declare Ambitions. Bad hands must be mitigated by careful card play and benefiting from other players' card play.
