Giants game tonight

Is there a Yahooer out there who can get the Giants game to be on in the cafeteria tonight?  Volume can be
optional if it's a bother, but a picture at least would be nice.

Re: Giants

Not to steal focus or anything, but the smaller Dukefish group meets
in a restaurant a few miles from Y! that will have the Giants game on
one TV and Monday Night Football on the other.

Re: Giants

Though it will probably be very crowded tonight.  I wasn't going to be
joining Dukefish tonight, anyway, for other reasons - but if I was, I'd
think twice because of the game.  I doubt there will be any tables.

Re: Giants game tonight

National Gaming Day at many libraries tomorrow

I'm not suggesting we try to snag a table and play Agricola with each other. I'm suggesting some of us might
want to bring our lightest family-friendly games ("Hey, That's My Fish!", for example, maybe up to
"Ticket to Ride") and offer to teach them to the people who come looking to learn about board games. Sounds
like the program will be different at each library, but I suspect they might be most interested in having
kids learn to play the games that the library already has available to lend, such as the "Wits and Wagers"
that have been donated to the libraries for this event, and we could help. Plus of course if you have kids, it
sounds like a promising event.

Local participating libraries include Portola Valley, East Palo Alto, Atherton, Cupertino, Foster
City, Fremont, Castro Valley, Gilroy, Half Moon Bay, Monterey, Oakland, Pacifica, San Francisco.

Addresses of participating libraries are at bit.ly/ngd10map

Also, if you or your kids are interested in such things, it mentions "national video game tournament at
dozens of libraries", doesn't say which libraries.

Eminent Domain kickstart

Tasty Minstrel games is using KickStarter to fund their next game, Eminent Domain.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/627547359/eminent-domain-the-next-evolution-of-deck-building

I haven't played it (there's a print-n-play version), but the buzz is good.  Anyone interested in getting
one of the bundle deals?  Two more folks, and we can get the "Gold" deal and get the fancy editions for 30 bucks each.

A possible change of date/time for Dukefish

In the larger scheme of things, the population of Dukefish (Monday nights, Jake's Pizza in Sunnyvale, 8pm)
has been slowly dwindling. We would strongly prefer to not disband the group entirely, and so were
considering what people thought of moving the event to a different date and time. We realize that not
everyone's schedule can be worked around, so I apologize in advance if the date and time ultimately chosen
does not work for you in particular.

To start off the conversation, can people who are theoretically interested in playing board games with us
at Jake's (let's keep locale fixed for this conversation) answer back to the Dukefish group with dates and
times that are good for you?

If you would like to be included in this conversation and are not already part of the dukefish Listserv, note
that the group is moderated, so let the moderator know from what mailing list you are coming from.

Good for me:
M/W after 8pm
Th after 6pm

I remain,

Re: [dukefish] A possible change of date and/or time for Dukefish

Monday's: 6:30 pm-
Tuesday's: 6:30 pm-
Thursday's (except for the first Thursday of the month): 6:30 pm-

Also note that the Dukefish moderator (yours truly!) is going to be
traveling starting Thursday and won't have reliable internet access again
until December 6th.  So make sure if you want to be part of the
conversation to A) try to join before Thursday morning and B) make clear
to me what group you're coming from so I don't delay approving membership.
 Thanks.
