Let’s Play Carpe Diem!! @Anchorhead Coffee!

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and there are many reasons for that. Why, take being a merchant as an example. You can build a large landscape fit for raising and harvesting grapes and chickens, but your gains are meager and you’re gouged on the sale price when you trade them in at the merchant shack. To get anything done, you have to have bureaucratic approval, but gaining that is its own hoop to jump through. So you must do what you can to make opportunities and Seize the Day!

Carpe Diem, is a game of foo
The players slip into the role of rich patricians in ancient Rome building a lucrative city district to score as many prestige points as possible. The novel way to get to the individual buildings of a district combined with a large variety of score cards make for an unusual game with a large number of strategies.
It’s an intricate puzzle that is super fast, & simple, but offers a depth to strategy as you must adapt to the tactical changes of the game state move by move, round by round. Interactions between players exists in the tile capture and Forum placement, and that adds another element to consider in your strategy.
New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.

2 - 4 players
45-150 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity.

(Don't worry, we'll go over the rules on the day, too.)

A few important details:

• The event space is in the basement and there are only stairs (no elevator) if you have mobility issues keep this in mind.

• This event is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM PLEASE be on time!

• It's Cap/First Hill/Seattle U, so parking can be a challenge. Please factor traffic & parking into your commute and if you will be late post in messages or the Discord. Anchorhead is only a few blocks from the First Hill Streetcar (Broadway & Pike/Pine or Broadway & Marion) and the #2 and #12 bus lines.

• If you need to cancel please do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it! 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 limited seats available, I want to be sure that those seats actually have people in them. Last-minute cancellations (less than 12 hours), no-shows, and late arrivals (15+ minutes) without good reason will be marked as no-shows for the event and will be automatically moved to the waitlist if one forms for any and all future events they join which are hosted by me.

• SUPPORT THE VENUE! - Purchasing something isn't a requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space. Please support the business if you can!

• I open signups on Wednesday, 3 days before pressing the "announce" button here on Meetup; if you want to have the opportunity to claim a seat early, you can join the SBG Discord, where I'll post to let users there know as soon as RSVPs open as well as updates and posting polls for future meetups!
