Bolt Action in Mogusa

Matt and I had another Bolt Action game, this time on the new table at my place (nowhere near enough space at the Pub!)  Here are some photos.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Lots of fun, with the Japanese reaping the honours of the day.  Purely objective and impartial reporting can be read here.

Next time my victorious Japanese will be humbling Rod's US Paratroopers, in a game I'll be hosting on the 26th.

August 31st Pub Con!

I was happy to see a big crowd turn out again. I hope everyone was able to shake off the summer-time blues and enjoy some gaming.

We had 30 people come: 19 men, 8 women, and 3 children. I'm very happy to see wonderful mix of people able to come and enjoy games together. 

These are the games I saw being played, sorry if I missed any:

Guillotine 
Super Dungeon Explorer
Settlers of Catan
Bang X3
Steam Park
Tokaido
Magic: The Gathering
Age of Sigmar
Ghost Blitz

And here is my one lonely picture! 


Thanks to everyone who came out, and see you next month on Sunday, September 27th.

Pub Con News

Hello!

This is Brian here for some information about the July Pub Con and an announcement about what's going on next month.

First, the games played in July!

Dungeon Quest X2
Gem Dealer Reiner Knizia
Guilatine X2
Warfighter
British Colonial Africa: Sword and the Flame
Nations the dice game
Saboteur X2
Guns and Steal
Tokaido X2
Harbor
Betrayed at House on the Hill
Qwirkle 
Warhammer 3rd Edition

I'm glad to see Dungeon Quest getting a lot of love. My dad bought it at a garage sale many years ago, yet it is probably the most played game in my collection.

Anyway, on to August.

I had made a slight error in the upcoming events page, which has since been corrected. The August, Pub Con will be on Sunday the 30th, not Monday the 31st.

Starting in August there will be a change to the all-you-can-drink deal. Instead of all the soft drinks from the menu to choose from, the owner has consulted with me to limit the deal menu down to these drinks:

Coffee
Iced Tea
Hot Tea
Coke
Ginger Ale
Orange juice
Grapefruit juice
Hot Chocolate

Also the 8% sales tax will be added to the price, bringing the total up to ¥1080.

The reason for the change stems from the large increase in the number of participants in the event. Back when we started there were about 10-15 people coming, and 4 or 5 of whom would drink soft drinks. Now we have 25-35 people coming and it is too expensive for the bar to keep all of their drinks on the all-you-can-drink list. I hope that doesn't put anyone off too bad.

I look forward to seeing you all on August 30th!
