Thematic Games
- February 10 · 1:00 PM
Every month, we select a theme or a mechanic and try to play a few games with that theme.
New players welcome! Many times we're running a first play-through of a game. We're happy to teach or learn.
Some games that we've played in recent months - Eclipse, Sid Meier's Civilization, Lords of Waterdeep, Ascension, Thunderstone Advance & the Castle Ravenloft Board Game
If you are interested in playing something, suggest it in the comments!

Have dominant species but never played. Still need to figure out the complicated rules! Mansions is on my list as well as a bunch of DBG. Sentinels,of the Multiverse, Star Trek DBG, Eminent Domain, Legendary...you get the idea! Even Quarriors! I was curious about Mansions with the new expansion just released. Hopefully it is not a difficult game to learn. Whatever works for the group, or a bunch of short game to get more to the table. I'm game!

17th it is. Rafael, we've played Urban Sprawl by the same designer, but I haven't played Dominant Species yet. Want to try that at some point.

Next month, the date conflicts with the auction. Any preference whether we meet on the 3rd or 17th?

Friendly group of gamers. Thanks. This is a group where everyone usually RSVP's and they attempt to pre-select a game - RSVP and join the conversation.

Look forward to an afternoon of gaming. I am just the "face" on meetup for the Thursday meetup - that group has been meeting for many more than years than I have been attending.

I'm a big fan of core worlds especially with galactic orders. Could be long with 5.

The only expansion I don't have for Small World is Realms. Why don't you bring Cosmic, just because it looks like we might have a big group. Runebound I think would be too long with 5+. Mansions I was thinking about - maybe next month.

I got rid of Cosmic Encounter a while ago, never seemed enjoyable. Did not like the player interaction.hopefully it got better. Will probably try to bring Manhattan Project, and some other short games for fillers.

Cosmic Encounter is on my list to try at some point. Maybe some other time.

After talking to Josh, I'll bring Cosmic Encounter (FFG). I've got one expansion so it will handle 6. I've never tried it with that many but It should play in 2 hours - probably less.

Seasons works for me. I've played once. I wouldn't mind getting Cosmic Encounter (new) or Core Worlds + Galactic Orders to the table someday soon. If you're interested in oldies I'm also looking to play Kremlin and Illuminati in the future. But again, Seasons is good.

I think we are going to keep it to the tenth. I'm open to moving the date to a different day of the month on a permanent basis. I don't have anything specific I'd like to get to the table. I have Seasons, and a couple of other Thematic euro style games I wouldn't mind getting to the table, but I'm open for anything.
