Gaming is on as normal this upcoming Saturday, May 8th. 1pm.
I have two new additions, Macao and Homesteaders, both of which I'm hoping to get in.
Who is coming and what might you like to play?

I'm in.
If there's a beginner's game of Homesteaders I'd be interested. Don't know anything about Macao.

Rick, I think all the games are going to be beginner games!
Macao is all about getting cubes and using cubes to build things that let you get more cubes until you can convert your cubes into points. It's unique mechanism is that the main input of cubes comes from a dice roll that everyone shares. If you pick the high numbers to get more cubes, it also pushes out how far in the future those cubes come into play for you. I've played it once and enjoyed it.

Sounds like fun. I like both dice and cubes. What's the map look like?

I would really like to try Homesteaders, but I think Macao also looked like fun. Maybe I will be able to stay long enough to play both!

Unfortunately, I can only stay to around 4:30 but will be bringing something interesting if you enjoy Hansa Teutonica.

Out of curiosity, that sounds almost like Colonia... I wonder which came first.....

Macao is nothing like Colonia, other than the fact that cubes can be used to "purchase" things. =P

Oh I'm sure they're quite different... but they seem to both use the buy-things-to-build-things-to-buy-things-to-sell-things-to-buy-things-to-buy-points- mechanic. I'll have to wait until the beach to play Macao... don't think I'll make it Saturday
