Games Played
Chris, Michael, Dave, Karen, Ben, and Alex started out with Ca$h ‘n Gun$ where Michael was the best gangster, just edging out Karen with $85,000 in loot to her $80,000.
Everyone then tried out the club’s new copy of Captain Sonar. Ben started as the captain of the blue submarine with Scott, Dave and Karen on his crew. Michael led the yellow submarine with Chris and Alex. The first game was played with the turn-based-rules and was closely fought, but the yellow team managed to sink blue. For the second game, Eray joined the crew of the yellow submarine and Alex took his turn in the captains chair. We switched to the chaos of the real time rules and this time blue was victorious. For the final game, Dan stepped in for Dave on the blue team and Chris took his turn as yellow captain. Chris’s rapid fire commands kept blue guessing and yellow was able to find a sink them.
Eray and Dave refought history with 1960: The Making of a President, but history largely repeated itself with Dave winning the election as Kennedy with 308 votes in the electoral college.
Dan, Chris, Scott, and Ben played Kemet with Chris taking the victory with 10 points over Ben’s 9.
Michael taught Viticulture to Karen and Alex and ended up as the most successful vintner at 28 points, but Alex was close behind at 23/
Chris, Michael, Scott, Dave, and Karen finished up with Airlines Europe. Karen was by far the most successful business person, amassing 89 points with Michael in second at 68 and the rest of the table close behind.

Games Played
Matt, Matt, and Alex played the ‘First Time in the Captain’s Chair’ mission of Firefly with a pile of expansions. Matt Ackerman playing as Jubal in his intercepter was able to cruise to a quick victory.
Chris, Michael and Ben played Kemet. Michael was ahead going into the last few actions when Ben moved against him, taking two points and moving himself to the lead. Michael was able to fight back and reclaim the lead, but Chris had the last action and managed to conquer one of Michael’s temples for a 3 point gain for him and a loss of 2 for Michael, giving Chris the win with 11 and Michael and Ben each with 9.
Matt B, Chris, Michael, Alex, and Ben played a second game of Firefly, this time using the ‘Rims the Thing’ setup and the ‘Any Port in a Storm’ mission. This was quite drawn out when all of a sudden just about everyone was close to completing the goal, but Chris was able to make it back to his haven first with the necessary 12,000 credits.
Club Business
The club voted to purchase Captain Sonar and a set of DnDeeples for Lords of Waterdeep.
Attendees: Michael Feinberg, Jim Halloran, Chris Cregan, Dave Olson and Chad Willard
1) In The battle of Five Armies Dave beat Chad, proving once again evil will always win, because good is dumb.
2) Meanwhile, Micheal just edged out Jim in a game of Lost Cities.
3) The final game on this game’s light day was Kemet in which Chris won after getting 13 points on the sixth day. Mike managed to scramble together six points and Jim had amassed three, but his army ended up getting demolished in the final phase and so was unable to grab any temporary points.

1) It was a day for Heroscape! Scott, Jim, Dave and Chris G. Fought throughout the day for control of a built up hill. It was mostly the same hill, but everytime the armies were different. Spiderman defeated dragons, Capt. America out raced elves, though it was a rare event when the King of the hill actually won a game.
2) Guildhall was also played, with the new (actual) rules. Though Alex did win and was first, the order of turns was less important this time around. Bruce, Michael and Chris C were all at least a turn away from winning.
3) Terra Mystic was next for Bruce, Michael, Chris C and Alex. Michael just edged out Alex in the end 110 to 107. Both had empires that spanned the board, dwarfing both Bruce and Chris for land area. Bruce had 102 with a strong cult presence. Chris did well, though ended up with only 92.
4) With the deconstruction of the Heroscape arena, a game of Bang Dice was played. Alex the Sheriff won with his two deputies Chris C and Bruce with considerable help from Michael the Renegade (who lost). Dave Chris G and Jim were all shot dead for the being outlaws.
5) A four player Kemet game was played between Chris C, Michael, Jim and Alex. Alex played a very aggressive game and managed to win by having the last two turns (due to an extra turn power) and a quick moving beetle shuttle which nabbed him two previously undefended temples.
6) Finally, the odd game Louis XIV which had Chris Michael and Alex bidding for the favor of the French court in the 18th century. Chris managed to get a few early quest rewards which conferred bonus abilities allowing him to continually outpace Alex and Michael. The final score was 58, 46, 4
Attendees:Dave Landon, Karen Landon, Alex Wright, Jim Halloran, Chris Cregan, Brandan James, Dave Olson and Tyler Piersol.
1) In honor of it being Halloween weekend the first game out was Betrayal at House on the Hill. Dave Landon, Dave Olson, Brandon Chris and Alex’s exploration of the house proceeded per normal, except no main stairs to the basement was found. Instead a few luckless adventureres uncovered chutes, slides or outright fell through the floor to discover the lower chambers. It was while most were down there that that Dave Olson was revealed to be the traitor, and roused a Frankenstein monster to try and hug his former allies to death. The beast took off with a start and quickly he cornered Alex in the graveyard. Chris and Dave left the basement through a discovered secret passage and frantically explored the upper floors in search of items to fight the monster. Brandon wasn’t so fortunate in escaping the basement. Dave O. and the monster cut him off from the secret route and slowely gained on Brandons slower character. Though as fortune would have it Brandon found the stair well up at the last tile and quickly joined his two other companions in the upper floor. The monster soon followed but was slowed. For two consecutive turns Dave found his monster under attack as torch after torch was hurled at the monster, all landing with perfect accuracy. The monster quickly took light and Dave was lectured about the errors of trying to kill his friends. Everyone then left the mansion, well except for Alex who was still dead.
2.Next up Brandon doned the Mr. X cap as Chris, Both Daves Alex and Tyler attempted to catch him in Scotland Yard. Starting off in North Western London, Mr X tried to cross the Themes via the bridge but was cut off by Dave Landon. As the officers neared on his location though, Mr. X quickly cut back to the subway to the middle of the board and began moving east. By then the officers had him surrounded. After a series of secret moves the officers were growing concerned that he might have found an opening, Chris and Dave O.rushed East and South trying to mitigate any distance if he was heading back to the Themes. The rest guarded against the subway, Dave L in the south Tyler in the West and Alex in the North. It turned out Brandon had double backed since his subway stint and moved west, but ended up getting stuck by Alex and Tylers movements. When his position become known Tyler was able to capture him in a turn.
3) Two game of Avalon were played with evil winning both rounds. Tyler, Chris, Karen, Alex and Brandon were defeated in the first game by both Daves and Jim. The second game Chris Jim and Alex managed to confuse Tyler, Karen, Brandon and both Daves.
4) Dave Olson was eager to try and play his new Kemet game. Chris had already played the game and taught it to both Tyler and Dave. Using a heavy blood strategy Chris won with 11 points though. Tyler finished with six and Dave with four.
5) Karen, Dave O. and Chris played a round of Ticket to Ride: Switzerland. Chris won with 97, followed by Dave with 88 and Karen close behind with 84.
6) Jim and Alex took on Tyler and Dave L in Warparty. In a long, back and forth game Jim and Alex managed to triumph over the forces of evil.
