Board Games Day - June 13th 2009
There will be an all-day board-gaming event in Models Inc, Dorset Street on Saturday the 13th of June.
Everybody, whether completely new to board-gaming, or a long-term fan is welcome.
There will be longer-duration games starting at 11:00 and 3:30, with an experienced player there to show
people how to play. Spaces in these games will go to those who have pre-signed up for them, and any extra
spaces to anybody on the day who wishes to play.
Plenty of quicker games will be going on all the time, so there's no need to sign up to the longer games if you
don't want to. However, if you're interested in one of them, and are SURE you'll be there, then please do
sign up.
Players should have time to go out for lunch during the gap between games. Sandwiches are available for sale
in Models Inc in case of emergency ;)
The following games have scheduled start times,
and pre-sign-up lists further down.
Arkham Horror: 2-6 players, co-operative
Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players
choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient
Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the
course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons,
and spells. It's up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of
monsters, but their main goal is to close portals to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With
too many portals open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world.
