Boardgames: Hardcore

Calling all Star Wars nerds interested in giving this game a shot! it's time to garner fame as a smuggler, bounty hunter and/or captain of your own ship.

If you've ever thought about completing the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, playing a hand or two of sabacc, or you have a strong suspicion a Wookie might be your platonic soulmate, you might want to give this game a try.

First time playing? No problem! Just try to watch a video first!

Hope to see you there!

Mattie's Grove, a micro-brewery with a UK-heavy selection of beers, (as well as tasty pizza and sammiches) hosts a trivia night on Tuesdays.

Last session, we wagered all our points, and that ended up not working out so well for us. Next week, we'll knock back a beer or two, pet the adorably bratty husky, and regain our trivia honor (or something), but mainly, we're always on the same mission: Have a good time.

If knocking back a pint or two and proving just how much you do (or don't) know about geography, pop culture, science, history, or sports sounds even a bit appealing, I hope to see you there!

Arcs is a sharp sci-fi strategy game for 2–4 players, 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. Ready yourself for dramatic twists and turns as you launch into this galactic struggle.

Let's have a beer or two and play some lighter games. I will bring a few titles of the casual persuasion. Feel free to bring games, too! Given our venue, they should meet the outlined criteria.

1. The game requires minimal components and table space.

2. The game can support 2-6 players.

3. Since this is a family friendly brewery, themes and content of games brought need to be g rated, please. (I.E no Cards Against Humanity, Joking Hazard, etc)

4. You can teach the game, if needed.

5. Please sleeve and protect your game if you're worried about potential damage.

6. The game can be played in 30-45 minutes max.

We're usually focused on heavier stuff, but here's a chance to be a little more casual. (And have a beer or two! Or some soda! Or some wine! Or water!)

I know this is a little different, but hope to see you there!

At the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy, resources are plentiful but competition is fierce. Develop your faction while contesting with other factions and terrifying raiders who emerge from the nebula.

Andromeda's Edge is an engine-building worker placement game. Each turn you will either place starships onto the galactic map, gathering resources from planets and risking combat, or you will recall your ships to your space station, activating modules to gain, trade, or spend, and increase your standing in commerce, science, industry, politics, or military supremacy.

Twilight Imperium has quite a history in this group, with some players making numerous appearances at the table, and newer players getting a chance to get their feet wet with this epic game.

This session will give seasoned players a chance to vie for a prize! The winner gets a 50.00 Amazon gift card. Pull out all the stops to claim victory and demonstrate your mad TI skills! Smack talk is permitted.

To RSVP to this session of TI, you must meet the following criteria:

• You must have at least 25 games under your belt. They don't all have to be with this group, and online play does count.
• You've played with PoK expansion and the codexes at least twice.
• You've played as at least five different factions on your Twilight Imperium journey.

Games for newer players will be just around the corner, but this one is strictly for the veterans.

If someone would be up to host so we can Milty draft this game, that would be wonderful. Please let me know if you'd be open to hosting. Also, if we can't fill all six slots with vets, I will open the game to wildcard slots closer to the date.
