Friday Game Night: July 6th - 14 GAMES SCHEDULED... Still ROOM FOR MORE Games!

A new games schedule will be posted on this page usually starting on the Tuesday of the week of Friday Game Night, and will be updated as new games are registered up to the afternoon of Friday Game Night.  ​
1. 
GAME:  Fantasy
GENRE:  RPG
HOST:  Richard Smith
SCALE:  n/a
RULES:  The Fantasy Trip (TFT)
PLAYERS:  1- 6 Players
SCENARIO:
This is a role playing game, the modules being fast and quick playing with each session lasting up to 2 hours so more than one game can be played in the evening. The Fantasy Trip (TFT) was Steve Jackson’s first RPG. He has reacquired the rights after 35 years and will be launching the game on Kickstarter on July 23rd of this year.
 

2. 
GAME:  Runewars Miniatures:  Fantasy Rank & Flank
GENRE:  Board Game
HOST:  Luke Fraser and Thomas Paterson
SCALE:  28mm
RULES:  Runewars Miniatures
PLAYERS:  Up to 4
SCENARIO:
Mass fantasy battles in the realm of Terrinoth. The game uses a dial-based initiative system (an evolution of x-wing, for those familiar with it) to resolve activations, with each unit locking in its action at the beginning of the round. Play proceeds in initiative order, with different actions taking place early and late. Not only does this create a tense fog of war effect, but it gives concrete mechanics to each unit, bringing their theme to life with gameplay. Can you guess your opponent's plan and stay one step ahead?
NOTES:
Runewars is a 2-player game, but we'd like to demo to as many people as possible. The two of us can accommodate 4 players at a time, and a demo will be 40-60 minutes.


3. 
GAME:  Napoleonic Wars –  Iberian Peninsula
GENRE:  Napoleonic
HOST:  Dennis Chin
SCALE:  A mix of 20 mm and 1/72
RULES:  The Final Arguments of Kings
PLAYERS:  4
SCENARIO:
When diplomacy fails, kings and emperors will resort to their final arguments:  heavy artillery. The Spaniards rebel against their French occupiers in 1808, forcing the French army to carry out multiple atrocities, so well depicted by Goya in his paintings in the Prado Museum. The French turn their attention again to Portugal and soundly defeat the Portuguese army at the Battle of Porto in March 1809. Fleeing Portuguese regiments and Spanish guerrillas  join a small British vanguard at the cross-roads outside Lisbon in an attempt to stop the hated  French invaders.
