Do you know what 7 8? Why, chocolate covered donuts at game day, of course!




12:30/1 start. Who can make it and what do you want to play?

OMG, a Laura sighting! It must have been the donuts that lured her out in the open! :-)
I will be bringing my just purchased copy of the Coal Baron card game and would be happy to teach and play it. I'm also bringing a decade old Wallace design called Tempus, which is kind of a civ-lite kind of title, in case people are interested in what life was like in ancient times (you know, like 2006!). Also up for other stuff. Maybe GWT, or Railroad Revolution with the variant. Maybe even Patchistory, although I'd need someone else to teach it. Anyway, I'll be there a bit before 1 PM. Maybe even with donuts!!!

I will try to be there no later than 3:00.



I'd love to try Tempus. I also recently got a copy of Word Domination (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/205057/word-domination) if anyone is in the mood for quick-playing, light word games.

I plan to be there. I'd be up for GWT. I played Tempus a LONG time ago and thought it was fairly meh.

I am still a bachelor, so I will be there around 12:30 (that's three ABG meetings in a row--a new record for me!). I am up for everything mentioned so far, I will also bring my copy of Yokohama and the new GIPF game, LYNGK. I would like to play Patchistory or Nations. I own Tempus and it's on my trade list, I was also not impressed when I played it a few times after it came out. See you all toorrow!

Concordia: For the question we had about whether to flip the province marker by play of the forum card:

Q2: These questions relate specifically to Tiberius –- “Take the bonus good from any active province.” After I take the good from a face up bonus marker, do I turn the bonus marker to its sestertii side or leave it with the goods side up? Moreover, do I get an extra bonus good if I have Praefectus Magnus, and do other players with houses in that province receive goods? Certain forum cards are activated when performing a prefect action; do they activate when using Tiberius as well?

A2: Since Tiberius' rule is not "Take a prefect action," I think that the bonus marker should remain with the goods side up. Likewise, I think that the Praefectus Magnus is not relevant, and other players in that province receive nothing from my use of Tiberius. Furthermore, no other forum cards that require the prefect to activate may be used simply from the use of Tiberius.





The "I think" in the question was confirmed in the responses on BGG. We played it correctly.
