Dear All:

Starting this weekend and until further notice Santa Clara Game Group
will not be meeting.  This decision comes about for a few reasons.
Firstly, Sunday's have become bad days for me to host a game group.
Secondly, the attendance has been spotty and has not allowed any flow
to develop in the group it seems that the first four people show up
and game all day leaving the other people to struggle to make a game
for 2 to 3 people.  I want this group to continue I am just not sure
in what capacity and what day we will meet.

I hope to see some of you at Games Day on the 23rd.

Sorry for late notice on this but it was not an easy decision to make
on my part.

Regards,
Andrew

Dear All:

Just a reminder we our NOT meeting in May.

Hi gang,

I think the new service that I mentioned is now ready to launch.
Please check it out at BoardGamePlayTest.com.

The idea is to connect game designers with impartial testers.  Both
Designers and Testers register from the website, with designers
submitting games as they have them ready for testing.  The prototype
games are listed in a library where registered test groups can select
which ones they want to test.  Then I send them computer files of the
components (plus suggestions for parts they may find at home).  After
testers play at least 3 times, they complete a form that gives pretty
thorough feedback for the designer.

The whole thing is free to testers, who can even earn free games
after they complete enough testing.  And designers only play a small
fee ($20) after they receive complete feedback from a test.

Please go to the site and register as both a Designer (if applicable)
and a Tester.  If you have any prototypes ready for testing, please
submit them.  And please give me feedback on the concept, prices,
website, registration forms, etc.

Hope to see you on April 14th.

Thanks,
Candy

In a big change for our group we are meeting on Saturday, April 14th.
  Please mark your calenders for this event. Hope to see you there.

Dear All:

Has some of you know I am in a school play for the Adult Cast.  March
18th is the last performance so we will not be meeting this month.  I
will see you all on the 24th in Los Altos.

Also I will see you in April, the 15th to be exact.

We are meeting on Sunday!  Hope to see see you there.

A friendly reminder, SGCC has its first meeting of 2007 this Sunday.
I know we follow another Bay Area Game Day, so please feel free to
spend the whole wekend playing games.  We will neet from 1230-5 in
Santa Clara, I would love to learn "On the Underground", I would like
to play Antike, Caylus, Taj Mahal, Tikal, Shogun(Wallenstein).

Through a strange error in online ordering in which more were shipped
than I wanted, I've just been informed that I'll shortly have two
(possibly three!) more copies of Mac Gerdt's Imperial than I actually
want:

Brand new, still in shrink: $38

Hi, I'm planning to be there as usual. I'd like to try Battlelore,
especially after the hype on BGG, but I've heard it's a two-player game
and fairly long. Actually, most of the games I'd like to try and haven't
yet are two-player games, because all of the game groups I go to favor
multi-player games almost exclusively.

Dear All:

This is just a friendly reminder that we will be having our group game
day this Sunday.  I know it is the day after Gamesday, so just think
if you play on Saturday why not on Sunday, make it a whole weekend of
games.  I will be bringing, Caylus, Antike, Battlelore, Mission Red
Planet, Tikal, Goa, Age of Steam, Hey Where's My Fish, Ticket to Ride
1910, and many more.

This is to confirm, the group will be meeting on Sunday the 17th.
12:30 to 5:00 PM.  I sent out an e-mail in error with the wrong date.
  The calendar feature is correct, and shows the 17th.

Hope to see you on the 17th.

Andrew

I think you mean Dec. 17 (another Games Day weekend).

Sunday to meet and I have to cancel the meeting for this Sunday. I am
sorry for any inconveince this might cause.

So in summary we will meet October 15th, and December 15th, please
mark your calenders.

Thanks,

I usually play my own abstract games online and almost never in real
life.  If anybody thinks they'd like to play any of my games
(marksteeregames.com), let me know and I'll bring them to your meeting.

Dear All:

This Sunday is the next scheduled meeting for the Santa Clara Game
Group.  I know we will have Bay Area Game Day hangover.  I also have
to announce we have to end playing today at 1600, I have to lock up
and be some where by 1700.  Hope to see you Sunday.

   SVB (plays in Mountain View every Wednesday evening)

   BAP (gamesday in Foster City last Saturday of every month)

   Gamesday (gamesday every ~6 weeks in Los Altos public Library)

Clarifying: I'm more than willing to teach Age of Steam to new players,
as well as the 18XX games such as 1830, 1856 or 1870 (we can play the
18XX with a computer moderator so that they can be played in a few
hours).  However for playtesting new maps I'd prefer experienced Age of
Steam players.

Would there be any interest in Age of Steam and perhaps in playtesting a
new Age of Steam map (experienced players onle please)?

Masons, Aton, Thurn and Taxis, plus all the old favorites.  Please
bring a game you want to play. Hope to see you on Sunday.

All,

I'll have the standard Great Lakes map, as well as Ted
Alspach's expansion map for Northern California/1830's
Pennsylvania. We can select a map depending on the
experience level of the gamers attending. If Andrew
brings his game we could potentially run both the
standard map and the expansion.

See you Sunday,
Devin
