B326: The 2009 U.S. National Bootleggers Championship. It's January, 1921. Prohibition has been in effect for a year, and it looks like the 18th Amendment is here to stay. In Bootleggers, players take on the role of enterprising bosses seeking to make a name for themselves in the illegal alcohol trade at the height of the 1920's prohibition era. Deceit, lies, and alliances of convenience are the norm as players attempt to control distribution through money and corruption by muscling in on the competition, paying off the local law authorities, building underground speakeasies, and shipping trucks of "hooch"! Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once. The winner at each table will advance to the final round to play for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 2:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B602, B682. Next Session: B741.

B327: The 2009 U.S. National Palabra Championship. Palabra is a combination of words, poker and rummy - guaranteed to "release your mental endorphins." Score by forming a word, a straight (an alphabetical sequence of 3 cards), a flush (5 cards in one color/suit), building on a prior word or straight, or present 6 or 7 vowels. Because of many double and triple multiplier cards, which multiply upon each other, and "color-locking" (which also doubles the score), a small word or straight can be multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, etc., and be worth 200 points or more! Stuck with a "Q," an "X," or a "Z?" Don't make a word. Put them in a straight or a flush. Did your opponent just make a 400 point combination? Don't fret. Cancel it with the "joker." Or steal any part of it for yourself. Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once. The winner at each table will advance to the final round to play for the U.S. National Championship title and a trophy! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; Session 1A of 2; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Serious, All Ages. See Also: B468, B644. Next Session: B686.

B330: Circus Maximus. Violent and bloody, Circus Maximus details the chariot races that occurred in ancient Rome. Eight teams race around the track three times to determine victory. Players prepare for the race by selecting the composition of their team of horses, their rider's skills, and the type of chariot that will be driven. Once the race begins the players are free to do as they wish to hamper the other racers including whipping the rider, ramming chariots with scythed wheels, smashing into horses, and running over crashed opponents. Wednesday, 10:00PM - 2:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Serious, 18 & Over ONLY.

B334: Hey! That's My Fish!. In this Mayfair game, players control a number of penguins. The penguins move over hex-shaped ice tiles with 1, 2 or 3 fish on them. The player takes the hex from where the penguin started his movement from the table, thereby creating a gap which other players can't cross. If a penguin can't move, he's taken from play. The player with the most fish in the end wins. Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B853.

B335: Medici. Another Reiner Knizia standby, this game plays very well with varying numbers of people. The object is to accrue the most points during three rounds, which you do by spending your points to bid on sets of cards. Each turn the current player turns up one to three cards for all the players to bid on, with the highest bid taking all cards. The cards denote a commodity type and quantity/value. The round ends when each player's ships are full, or the commodity card deck is exhausted. After each round, points are awarded to each player having the most of a given commodity, and to the one with the most valuable total "cargo load". Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B336: Race for the Galaxy. Explore, Settle, Develop, Trade, Consume, or Produce? Which do you need the most?

Your goal: to build the most prosperous and powerful space empire! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B666, B856.

If you run out, you'll have to spend the night in the stables. Oh... and try not to get too beaten up or too drunk. If you black out, your friends will continue the party without you... after they loot your body for Gold of course! The last conscious adventurer with Gold wins the game! Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages. See Also: B618.

Players collect sets of illustrated Train cards, which are then used to complete Destination Tickets - routes between two cities depicted on each ticket. But before their Train cards can be used, players must face the risk of "train-robbing," where another player may force them to lose their hard-earned cards. Wednesday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B758.

B341: Pokemon MONOPOLY. The classic game of Monopoly gets a Pokemon facelift. What exactly does that mean? For starters, it makes the game a lot more bloodthirsty and opportunistic.

B352: The 2009 U.S. National Gloom Championship. The world of Gloom is a sad and benighted place. The sky is gray, the tea is cold, and a new tragedy lies around every corner. In this card game from Atlas Games, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. You want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death. You'll play horrible mishaps like Pursued by Poodles or Mocked by Midgets on your own characters to lower their Self-Worth scores, while trying to cheer your opponents' characters with marriages and other happy occasions that pile on positive points. The player with the lowest total Family Value wins. Note that this Championship will be played with both expansion sets (6-player games). Players may play in any or all of the three preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once.

The other half their paths are chosen randomly by opponents. Additionally, the board elements constantly change as the game progresses. This Championship will use the expansion set. Players may play in either or both of the two preliminary sessions, but may only qualify once.

B359: Dominion. In this new Rio Grande game, each player starts with an identical, very small deck of cards. In the center of the table is a selection of other cards the players can "buy" as they can afford them. Through their selection of cards to buy, and how they play their hands as they draw them, the players construct their deck on the fly, striving for the most efficient path to the precious victory points by game end. Dominion is not a CCG, but the play of the game is similar to the construction and play of a CCG deck. The game comes complete with roughly 500 cards.

Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets - goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route. Wednesday, 12:00AM - 2:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B364: Basari. Several games use the 'rock-paper-scissors' mechanism, but this Out of the Box game is perhaps one of the best. During a turn, players choose one of three different actions to perform. The choices are revealed simultaneously, and if only one player chose a particular action, he simply performs that action. Otherwise players may have to either negotiate for the right to perform the action or just not perform any action that turn. Thursday, 9:00AM - 11:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided.

Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B951.

B367: Small World. In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all. Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs and even humans; who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth. Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory! Note: This is a lighter and quicker version of "Vinci". Thursday, 9:00AM - 11:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B784.

B368: St. Petersburg Training Session. In the early 18th century Czar Peter helped build St. Petersburg.

Around the building side, a city is slowly rising up. The players embody master builders.

See Also: B737.

B379: Blokus. In this abstract strategy with transparent, tetris-shaped, colored pieces players try to get rid of all their pieces.

Thursday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Serious, All Ages. See Also: B587.

B380: Blue Moon City. Blue Moon City - the board game - picks up where the two-player game ended: the reconstruction of the destroyed city of Blue Moon. At the start of the game, the board tiles all show their building plan sides. The object of the game is to use cards featuring the races of Blue Moon to help rebuild the city and, at the end, put the large Crystal of the Obelisk in the middle of the city back together. Whenever a building is completely rebuilt, its tile is turned back over to its rebuilt side. The players that helped with a building get crystals and dragon favours which can be traded in for crystals at certain times. The player who first manages to add the required number of markers by paying crystals to the Obelisk wins the game. Thursday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B381: Chez Dork. Matt, Igor, Carson, and their friends compete to feed their fannish obsessions and collect the games, cards, and other geeky treasures they can't live without. The object of this Steve Jackson game is to get more stuff, faster, than all your friends. But your particular obsessions determine what you think is neat at any given time. And gamer's obsessions can change...Buy, Trade, auction...compulsively collect...and if your friends get the thing you need, just yell "It Must Be Mine"!

B398: Masons. A tense castle-building game from Rio Grande about points and palaces. In the middle ages, the best living was to be found behind the protection of nice thick castle walls and towers. But once they're standing, you can take your time building houses and palaces behind them. And if that goes especially well, the castles grow and merge with each other. To accomplish that, you only need some tactical skill and the right cards. But watch out: You need to sense when the best time to play your cards is in order to score the most points.

You'll build your dungeon, a room at a time, from lots of heavy, double-sided tiles. Each shows a different room...some are good for certain characters, some are bad. Populate it with monster standies and let your munchkins run amok! Cooperate with the whole group, adventure with a partner, or strike out on your own. You don't know what's behind a door until you open it...then another room is added to the dungeon. Battle monsters for power and treasure, or send them after your friends.

B610: Acquire. This Sid Sackson classic has taken many different forms over the years depending on the publisher.

Cards are drawn from a pile to tell the players which piece to take. The pieces may be rotated and reversed before they slide down the inclined area to dock to other gaming pieces, but unlike Tetris cannot be slid horizontally once dropped. Scoring is based on quantity and configuration of squares left uncovered. Unlike original Tetris there is no time pressure but like Tetris every player is engaged with his own board.

B616: Pictureka!. Pictureka! is a new kind of game, both in mechanic as in artwork. The mechanic is invigorating with its large square gaming tiles. The game board is composed of 3 by 3 game tiles, so the game board on which is played is a huge square of 63 cm x 63 cm. This is large enough for several players to be able to play the game at the same time. The game board is "alive", it is not a static board as the tiles are flipped over, turned and moved. So it is not possible to memory map the board. The mechanic of an ever changing board makes it not only fun; also the challenge is kept into the game all the time. Friday, 8:00PM - 10:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

Then you must tell a story about how you will use this implausible but fearsome weapon to destroy your opponent. The other player gets to build a defensive item in the same way (maybe a "radioactive garden gnome") and describe how it prevents or deflects the attack. The rest of the group then decides who is the winner of the battle. Friday, 8:00PM - 10:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages. See Also: B812.

B620: Wealth of Nations. This is a game of supply and demand in which players spend resources to buy industries to make more resources. You can't make every resource yourself, so you'll have to plan out what you need and try to swing a deal with other players. Going into debt can help you develop more quickly, if you don't borrow too much... Wealth of Nations is another board game influenced by the legendary video game M.U.L.E. Despite the game's name, there's no link to actual historical events. The game is a pure engine-building cube-grinding Euro, but with an incredible supply-and-demand mechanism that forces players to somehow plan ahead and stay on their toes at the same time. Friday, 8:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B651: Shark. Shark is a stock-trading game slightly reminiscent of Acquire, in that abstract plays on the game board determine the share values of the various companies. Each player may buy and sell shares both before and after his turn, and during his turn rolls dice to determine which company he can affect and in what region he can place that company's marker. Placing next to another of that company's markers increases the company's share price, which pays out in two ways: first, for placing the marker, the player gets money equal to the new price, and secondly, all players get paid the amount of the increase, multiplied by the number of shares each of them owns. This wealth is not without risks, though, as placing in a way that brings two companies' marker-groups adjacent to each other causes the smaller group to be removed from the board, decreasing that company's share price accordingly - and all players must pay the amount of the decrease, again multiplied by the number of shares they hold in that company! Friday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B652: Ta Yu. In Ta Yu, a sumptuously produced game of connections, one side tries to extend from the starting tile in the center to reach the western and eastern edges of the board while the opposing side tries to reach the northern and southern edges. On your turn you simply draw a tile and decide where to place it, extending the network of tiles already on the board. Interestingly, you need to play both offense and defense and will often have to decide to which use to put a particular tile. Friday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B653: Vikings. In this Rio Grande game, each player is the leader of a band of Vikings. His task is to scout and then settle the islands off the coast of his homeland.

The bands build yards and churches and invite goldsmiths, scouts, fishermen, and nobles to settle on their island to establish the most profitable settlements. But, warriors are also necessary - the islands soon attract ships bound to attack them to pillage the new settlements! Friday, 10:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided.

Placing bets on the winning answer earns chips, bets on other answers lose chips. The person with the most chips after the last question wins.

Battle dastardly masterminds, devastating monsters, and invading aliens from the next dimension - from the wimpy Triplicate Twit all the way up to Big Ol' Planet Eater Guy himself - and TAKE THEIR STUFF!

Along the way, trump is randomly determined and can be changed during the hand through the use of special cards.

B805: Brass. "Brass" was what they called money in 19th-century Lancashire, England. This heavy economic game simulates the Industrial Revolution during that time, as players struggle to adapt to quickly-evolving technology. You'll be managing coal mines, iron ores, cotton mills, and ports. In the first half of the game, you'll be building canals to transport your goods to and fro. Then in the second half of the game, the railroads take over. All the canals (and a bunch of industries) get pulled from the board, and you'll build a new infrastructure of rails. So the game is an economic game that suddenly morphs into a rail game halfway through. Like Power Grid, it has a lot of bizarre mechanisms thrown together, and like Power Grid, they work more beautifully than you might expect. Saturday, 8:00PM - 12:00AM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

B806: Clans.

B938: Steel Driver. Six railroad companies are poised to build tracks all across the country. Players will bid on shares of the different companies, and then use the money the companies have acquired to build track around the country.
