So last weekend we finally had the inaugural Kelowna Chapter Magic Satchel Games Night!
It was perfect for a first go, not too many people and everyone who attended came to participate. Having only 7 of us was great because as no one knew all other attendees, the small number allowed and encouraged everyone to get to know each other a little. I think if we’d had a larger turnout people may have grouped themselves with those they already knew.
And we played the first ever double-decker old-school Mille Bornes! No, we didn’t add a London bus card. We actually combined 2 of the original-style Mille Bornes decks. (We did only use one draw/discard tray though… and we did leave in the 2 custom cards… oh “Azal Inhamination” you’re my favourite! [we don't talk about the other one])
There is definite interest in having another one, though it will likely have to wait until January. But we didn’t get to playing Ticket to Ride, Slamwich, or the bean counting game (which I have been assured is much more fun than it sounds).
Speaking of games that are more fun than they sound, maybe we’ll bring Squatter: The Australian Wool Game with us to Calgary this weekend!
See, I can contribute too!
MSGN expansion! woo woo!
We have to make sure that expansion doesn’t happen too fast or we may be stuck with locations that need financial support to win back the fans…
wait, am I confusing our games night with NHL franchises again?
anyway, glad to hear it was such a success. It always amazes me how many people are closet board game geeks
vrttsinly hella cool… Um, “certainly”… stupid home row…
D + J I still have fingers crossed that we’ll make it out for a weekend sometime. Not necessarily for a proper MSGN, but a gaming night nonetheless! Looking forward to seeing you guys soon
