Saturday Morning Gaming
Looks like I may have the house this weekend. Is there any interest in gaming at my place this Saturday AM? I would think that a longer game may be in order. Some suggestions: TI3, CotE2, RRT? How about Epic BattleLore? Suggestions?

That's a cool photo, Carlos. Given the connected, passed pawns looks like white should win, but it could take some endgame finesse.
I might have a short window Sat morning, but then again I need to recaulk our shower, so maybe not.
Looks like no end game finesse is needed from white. Looks to me like black is check mated.
I can not make it, pretty much any other weekend this month but this one.
BxQ stops check, but there might be a forced mate I'm missing.
I did however miss the defending white pawn on the 2nd rank. White doesn't have to drop the light-squared bishop.
Both bishops plus the passed pawns should be a fairly easy end game.
Always exciting to win by sacrificing the queen.
My goodness, I did not expect any comments about the chess game, just the crazed kid in the picture!
If I recall the game was a white win, but when the picture was clicked, some changes to the board were made doing "what-if" analysis and the BxQ was not there.
I recommend TI:3, though I'll be very sad not to be there.
I'm sorry to hear that you will not be available, Ben. I was kind of hoping that you might bring your copy of Tide. I saw it for sale already at Dibbles Hobby Shop already!
Carlos: I'd definitely be there if I could, but I'll be in Tokyo on Saturday. I plan on taking lots of game rulebooks with me for the airplane ride over.
Well, it looks like we may not have the participation, so lets put this off for another time.
Let's start planning a TI:3 game for an upcoming Saturday... even a 4-player game would be very nice.
I know Chris just picked up a copy, so I'm sure we might persuade him to join... Chad usually is interested in this one as well.
This probably warrants a separate planning post...
Sorry Carlos. Whis I could be there but I will be out of town this weekend.
DOn't worry, it's no big deal. I know that sometimes the stars align either just right or not at all as in this case. It's just that I don't often get the opportunity to host. As my youngest gets older I should be able to host more often.
In the mean time, I have a Plan B for this weekend. My oldest has taken quite a liking for BattleLore!
