FOR ALL MANKIND @ Phoenix Comics!

"The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in."

For All Mankind is a fast-paced game of strategic exploration, clever trades, and diplomatic shenanigans. Build your empire across the ever-changing solar system. (Careful, the planets move!) Gather, trade, and invest your resources -- and do whatever it takes to stay ahead of the competition.

• Expand: Grow your empire with colonies (more loot!), research (more power!), and espionage (more nukes!).
• Scheme: All is fair in interplanetary domination, but you would never double-cross a friend...right?
• Profit: Be the first to reach 10 points, and see your name etched in the stars forever!

The most fun you’ll ever have blowing up your friends in space, guaranteed!

For All Mankind is a medium-light territory-building and negotiation game with a board layout that changes during play and a heavy dose of "take that!" New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

1 - 4 players
6 - 90 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity. Please note the host has a hard stop time of 2:00 PM; I have to get to work afterward!

A few important details:

• Signing up for this event means other people are counting on you to attend; board games have both a minimum and a maximum player count, so with a limited number of seats available at the table, I want to be sure for everyone's benefit that those seats actually have people in them when the session starts. Last-minute cancellations (less than 12 hours) and late arrivals (more than 15 minutes) will be marked as no-shows for the event. No-shows should expect to be automatically moved to the waitlist for any and all future events they join which are hosted by me. (Yes, I'm willing to make exceptions for emergencies, illness, etc, but they will be exceptions, not the norm. Talk to me about it!) The "Seattle Freeze" isn't a cute local affectation, it's just inconsiderate.
• It's Cap Hill, so parking can be a challenge. Sorry, it's a walking neighborhood! Phoenix Comics & Games is only about a block from the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Denny stop), less than a block from the Capitol Hill light rail station, and very close to several bus lines, though.
• Purchasing something isn't a strict requirement, but it's nice to do since we'll be using the space. Please support the business if you can!
• I open signups for most of my events 1-3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to know about that when it happens and have the opportunity to claim a seat before others, you can join the Seattle Board Games Discord server, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open!
