I'll be bringing my starter kit and will be happy to teach others how to play. It's a very simple game. Some people were curious about AEGIS as well, so I'll bring that along too.

The first open night had a few games, with some players returning from last week.

Tournament next week!

Didn't play last night due to brain explosions but got to watch for a bit and that was nice.  Planning on playing at the event next weekend!

I'm taking another night off work on Thursday, so I'll be there.

I'm also planning on trying to change my work schedule so I always have Wednesday and Thursday nights off. It shouldn't be a problem. And if it works, you know where I'll be.  :)

There are enough players  around on the tournament nights, that they could reasonably expect to find someone to teach them how to play. There's a small, dedicated group that deserves to be bigger!

I introduced 3 new players to the game last night who all walked away with the strong intention to play again. Simple, fun, solid rules, people actually like those things!

Had a blast last night playing XWING.  Every time I play this game I get more excited about it.  Even when I lose.   8)

Awesome!

Are you setting any aside for people? 'Cause I definitely want one.
