Shiver me timbers, and avast ye! Its time to play pirate and nautical games again matey!! Will the sea crush our ships or will we just murder eachother?!?! Gabi will be hosting **FORGOTTEN WATERS** , a choose your own adventure game of pirating mayhem. Together with the other players comprise your crew. Work together in this brilliant co-op game to sail to new waters and uncover new stories. A very unique game complete with stunning sound effects and voice acting!! Frankie will be hosting ***SANTIAGO.*** *On the island of **Santiago*** you'll be cultivating and watering fields. To accomplish this, a number of tiles denoting various plantation types come into the game each round. The tiles are auctioned off such that each player gets one, and the tiles are then placed onto the game board along with an ownership marker that also indicates how plentiful the tile's yield will be. Whoever bid the lowest in each round gets to be the canal overseer and decides where a canal will be built that round. The other players may make suggestions to help the canal overseer decide, and back up their suggestions with money. The final decision is always wholly up to the overseer, though. Justin will be hosting In **BRIAN BORU: HIGH KING OF IREAND**, In this historical game, you strive to unite Ireland under your domain, securing control through might, cunning, and matrimony. Join forces to fend off Viking invaders, build monasteries to extend your influence, and gather support in towns and villages throughout the land.
