Well, 2007 has started out with a bang! (and no, we didn't play Bang! yesterday). We moved to a new FLGS that has plenty of space and we had almost 40 people there at one time playing games!

Thanks to Albert (Fractaloon on BGG) and Kevin Eagles with Command Post (www.commandpostonline.com) for donating some sweet games for the door prize drawings! I think all the winners were quite happy.

Here's the game list breakdown. I know I'm missing games so I'm counting on the UBG group to help out here :)

To get more info on our group msg me or visit our site -

That scenario wasn't very good. There's a lot more to the game, but once I took a step back, I decided I'll probably try to drop this one. There are better strategy battle games out there.

You know this actually seemed like it was potentially fun. The game was just soo short.

I believe two sessions of this took place. The first group got to the Mordor board, but all met their fate before reaching Mt. Doom. The second group dunked the ring and won. Turns out they were able to complete most boards on the main track (good) rather than down the event track (bad).

I really enjoyed this game. The rules/strategy ratio leaned heavily to the strategy side.

Once again the Red Baron defied the odds and went down in flames while his opponent did likewise. :)

This was a wild game. 3 vs 3 player. We had a lot of fun with this one.

Very cool game. Though I think it actually got harder once we got the turn order rules right.
