Day and Eve Event

Submitted by Hamilcar on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 11:48.

Hi Gang!
My first involvement with SWA was the last "Council of Five Nations".
I had a great time and met some very fun people so wanted to be more active.

I will be running Flying Frog's "A Touch of Evil" Gothic Horror adventure boardgame

It plays 2-8 players so bring friends and try it out.

Evening event

Submitted by Steve on Wed, 12/31/2008 - 12:51.

I'll run an event in the evening session:

Die Macher, 3-5 players

Die Macher is a game about seven sequential political races in different regions of Germany. Players are in charge of national political parties, and must manage limited resources to help their party to victory. The winning party will have the most victory points after all the regional elections. But there are four different ways of scoring victory points. First, each regional election can supply ten to eighty victory points, depending on the size of the region and how well your party does in it. Second, if a party wins a regional election and has some media influence in the region, then the party will receive some media-control victory points. Third, each party has a national party membership which will grow as the game progresses and this will supply a fair number of victory points. Lastly, parties score some victory points if their party platform matches the national opinions at the end of the game.
