Edmonds Gaming Meetup Group

Hey Gamers!

We will be playing another very large Vital Lacerda game: Weather Machine.

This is a teach while learning game. I will read the rule book and watch a set of videos on how to play; you are encouraged to also watch videos and help teach the game-the idea being that we are all learning it together. Board Game Geeks description and a YouTube tutorial are listed at the bottom.

We usually meet on Mondays and Fridays at 1 PM for larger games at around the table with limited seating. We also meet at Brigid’s Bottleshop on Sundays at 1 PM where we play a variety of games and have more than enough seating for everyone who wants to attend.

Around the Table is a great location that really caters to table top board gamers. They have a great selection of new and used (at reduced prices) games. They allow food to be brought in from outside and there is a Little Caesars and a Subway next to it, as well as an Indian restaurant, a convenience store (which claims to have good Greek food), and a Thai place nearby. They also serve a variety of air-fried foods and ice cream (I usually get the brat basket).

Our group is inclusive, and no hate speech will be tolerated.

BGG Write-Up on Weather Machine:
“Natural disasters will soon be a thing of the past!” proclaimed Professor Sêni Lativ, Project Chief of Meteorological Manipulation at Lightning Technologies. Tests of his new invention, the Weather Machine, showed positive results. Visions of quelling floods, subduing cyclones, and ending droughts made him smile.
In Weather Machine, you are scientists on Prof. Lativ’s team, tampering with local weather: adjusting rainfall for farms, maintaining wind and clear skies for ecological energy sources, and tweaking the temperature for resorts and sporting events. The prototype is quite effective so far; however, a pattern has emerged, revealing a worrying side effect: Each use of the Weather Machine also alters the conditions elsewhere on the planet — a “butterfly effect”.
"We must build a new prototype,” he announces as the agents shoot him sidelong glances; “…but this time we’re going to get it right.” The agents silently give a single, crisp nod of confirmation. “The government is funding this, and we will succeed.” As Prof. Lativ explains the plan, the need to secure suppliers for sufficient bots and chemicals is clear. In addition to the materials, time is of the essence; you must be focused and efficient to have any hope of reining this growing global terror, Earth’s atmosphere before conditions are too harsh for Homo sapiens and other species.

Come play games at the Marysville Public Library! We play twice a month:
usually the 1st and 3rd Sundays.

We will meet in the Large Meeting Room. We have the room reserved from 1:00-5:00 pm. The library closes at 5, so we'll need to be out a few minutes earlier.

We'll have plenty of space, tables, and chairs so bring your friends and family and let's play some games! See you there! Masks are optional.
