Last Tuesday Game Night Tuesday, October 29, 6:00pm - 8:00pm Featured game demo at 6:00pm In October, our featured game is perfect for Halloween time: Cthulu Fluxx. Depending on the experience of the group, we may start with regular Fluxx before trying out the Cthulhu variant (and we will also have Zombie Fluxx on hand!). Fluxx card games are for 2-6 players and gameplay consists of players modifying the rules of the game, like how many cards to draw or how to win the game, by playing cards from their hands. Players collect "Keeper" cards to satisfy victory requirements but in Cthulhu Fluxx, you have to watch out for Cthulhu and other fiendish Creepers. Games can be as fast as 5 minutes. Come learn how to play with us!

Last Tuesday Game Night Tuesday, November 26, 6:00pm - 8:00pm Featured game demo at 6:00pm In November, our featured game is the award-winning tile-drafting game for 2-4 players, Azul. As Thea Hart works to fill in the gaps in our collection of Spiel des Jahres-winning games, Azul is the 2018 winner and is one that she is adding to the collection in November. Copies available from the Hillsboro and Cedar Mill Libraries have had perpetual holds lists, so hopefully our two copies will make it easier to check out! In the game Azul, players take turns drafting colored tiles from suppliers to their player board. Later in the round, players score points based on how they've placed their tiles to decorate the palace. Extra points are scored for specific patterns and completing sets; wasted supplies harm the player's score. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
