SR Gaming Night again?

[Merc]

Would Saturday July 12th work for people (two weeks time, can't run on July 5th unfortunately)? Been a few weeks since we last had one.

I was pondering suggesting a Bauza game night... Antoine Bauza is a board game designer who's created games like 7 Wonders, Ghost Stories, Takenoko, Hanabi and Tokaido.

Specifically, I was thinking of us playing the japanese-themed games of Tokaido and Takenoko. Hanabi would have been fun to toss into the mix, but I can't find any online implementation for it, and not something that can really be run on Zun Tzu.

Interest? Availability? Thoughts/preferences for other games?

[Anastasia]

Tentatively interested, but I won't be able to confirm until closer to the date.

[Merc]

*nods* fair enough as usual. I would have asked for July 5th (next saturday), but I'll be attending a concert then.

[Dracos]

Awesome avatar.

I shall intend to make it.  Been doing too much crunch lately.

[Anastasia]

That Saturday's looking a bit worse. I won't know until Thursday or Friday of this week, but you can assume I probably won't make it.

[Merc]

I'd totally forgotten about this thing! So was anyone interested anyway, besides Drac?

[Anastasia]

I'm out, just to be official. Have to work on top of everything else.

[Dracos]

I forgot, and will be working.

But screw it.  If you're up for an evening run, I'm good for it :)

[Merc]

You mean evening tonight instead? I don't mind either way.

I'm available tonight, but I got no clue as to what games you plan on playing or how to do so online. PM me some directs, maybe?

Plan was to play Tokaido & Takenoko, both of which are japanese themed games by Antoine Bauza.

The two games happen to have online implementations up in the linked site, Board Game Arena.

Tokaido is a game where you take a journey across Japan, and you try to have the best experience visiting places, meeting people, eating food and buying tourist crap. This is because you get points from experiencing all that, so you win by having the best journey.

Takenoko is a game where you try to win the Emperor's favor by maintaining/growing his bamboo gardens while feeding a hungry Panda that the emperor recieved as a gift from the chinese as part of a diplomatic deal. Meaning that you sadly can't kill the hungry little bastard.

Rules:
Tokaido
Takenoko

As for time...well, whenever both you and Drac want/are able to, I suppose.

[Dracos]

I meant evening tomorrow.  Like 6:30pm mayhaps?

[thepanda]

6:30 on the morrow sounds plausible.

[Merc]

still works~

[Dracos]

Okay, planning to be there.

Thanks for arranging, Merc.  Ye are a Legend 1800 years in the making :)
