Steve, I wish I could make it down for this, but it is going to be difficult to get away. It was good meeting you at TBGT. Cool to meet more gamers that are into some of the old-school stuff. I chronicled all the games I played. Next year I want in on a game of Descent!

Drat everything has to happen that weekend. I would be there, I live around the corner, but have to be in Auburn Alabama for a function. Granted I was going to go to an auction that weekend aswell...maybe next time.
Though I must ask, is the Mercer Meeples group open for all or just students?

In truth, I think about 6 out of the 40 or so people are students. Come on by sometime and get your game on.
By the way, I forgot to mention Door Prizes.
Several companies have generously donated games for the tournaments and for door prizes. The list is growing but currently we have a score of games from:
NorthStar
Rio Grande
Sacred Chao
Jolly Roger
Mattel
Z-Man
Boulder Games
We are grateful for the assistance these companies are providing in making this a truly memorable event and are really looking forward to the fun and exiting gaming we've lined up for the weekend.
Don't miss out! Come on over the MGEx!!

Only those with catlike dexterity could possbily hope to attempt the treacherous route of the 3 set carabande track!
Only those with superior gaming fortitude could face the 6 set Heroscape table!
Only those with astounding capacity for fun may dare enter the Mercer Game Extravaganza!
