Well, what else is a gamesday for other than playing the long games that are hard to setup elsewhere? Though I admit I usually play a series of shorter games. ...
Since Patrick calls the non-euro longer games 'strategy' games, I think I'll stick with the nomenclature :). At any rate, I will be hosting a Strategy games...
... "ordinary" Games Days are long *2-player* games, because they make such poor use of table space. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Audrey, Descent will also probably be on the schedule at Strategicon if you want to come out Labor Day weekend. If we get more people I can show you how to...
... And *I* am quite interested in a "longer game" Gamesday. Firstly I have to see if the folded-over Interplanetary board will fit in my new Scion. Not only...

... Alas, I won't be able to make this, but I will be playing games with some folks from the Sacramento Games Day group on Sunday the 20th, so I'll be there in...
OK, we're going to try again to get a Die Macher table together. Last time there were no-shows which delayed us, so we ended up playing Parthenon instead....

Hey all, With SoCal Gamesday coming on 8/19, I was thinking of running a Math Trade on BGG.com to allow for some 'no shipping costs' trades to occur. While I ...
I am very interested in participating in a math trade, but since I've never done one, and am not even sure how they work, I'm not volunteering to run it. :) ...
... I can run one. I can't guarantee that I will be present for SCGD at this point, but I can run a math trade. (I've used a couple of the programs several...
... I will second David's statement: I do not know how these things work. A schedule does not a system make. Without that knowledge, I would not even hazard...
