Thursday December 29th, 2022 - Euro-Rail
The week of Thursday December 29th at 5:30 p.m., we will have a euro-rail theme. Choose from Ticket to Ride: Europe, where you race to build the best rail network in Europe, and Metro, a tile placement game about creating the least efficient routes possible.
TICKET TO RIDE: EUROPE
From the craggy hillsides of Edinburgh to the sunlit docks of Constantinople, from the dusty alleys of Pamplona to a windswept station in Berlin, Ticket to Ride Europe takes you on a new train adventure through great cities of turn-of-the-century Europe.
2-5 Players | 30-60 minutes
Will you risk a trip through the dark tunnels of Switzerland? Venture aboard a ferry on the Black Sea? Or erect lavish train stations in the great capitals of the old empires? Your next move might just make you Europe's greatest train magnate!

METRO
The World's Fair "1900" is in full swing throughout the city. Amid the revelry however, strange scaffolding is appearing and streets are being dug out to form very deep tunnels...
The construction of the Paris Metro system is underway!
2-6 Players | 30 minutes
In this tile placement game, players are not striving to make short, direct routes like those sought in most route-building games; instead, the object of the game is to make the rail lines as long as possible. Players start with a number of trains ringing the board, and whenever a placement connects a train to a station, the player scores one point for each tile the route crosses.

WASABI!
You and the other players are apprentice chefs competing to assemble your quota of unique sushi recipes in a rapidly dwindling space. Balancing speed with technique will be crucial if you want to win this game!
2-4 Players | 30-45 minutes
Your are an apprentice to a great sushi master, and you have spent the last ten years honing your skills in preparation for this day - your final test before earning the title of expert chef: Itamae-San. Sushi is about culinary expertise, and you must always strive to master your skills while serving an array of vivid colours, mouthwatering tastes, and creative combinations. The test will be difficult. You must compete against the other hopefuls, all working in the same confined area to produce recipes of varying complexity.

Thursday January 12th, 2023 - Time
The week of Thursday January 12th at 5:30 p.m., we will have a time theme. Choose from Flash Point: Fire Rescue, a cooperative race against the game, and Chrononauts, a game about correcting space-time paradoxes... or plundering the past.
FLASH POINT: FIRE RESCUE
The call comes in... "911, what is your emergency?" On the other end is a panicked response of "FIRE!" Moments later, you don the protective suits that will keep you alive, gather your equipment and rush to the scene of a blazing inferno.
This is a fast paced cooperative game, where players work together to fight fires, and save lives.
2-6 Players | 45 minutes
Your team has only seconds to assess the situation and devise a plan of attack - then you spring into action like the trained professionals that you are. You must face your fears, never give up, and above all else, work as a team, because the fire is raging, the building is threatening to collapse, and lives are in danger! You must succeed. You are the brave men and women of fire rescue; people are depending on you! This is what you do every day.

CHRONONAUTS
You're a time traveler with a Unique Identity, a secret mission, and a very important job: Paradox Repair
This game is played entirely with cards, but has the feel of a board game, since history is represented as a special grid of 32 cards called "The TimeLine".
1-6 Players | 20-45 minutes
Messing with history can have its consequences. For starters, your reality no longer exists. Then there are the paradoxes - holes in the space-time continuum that threaten to destroy the entire universe. Can't find your way back to your original reality? Then maybe you can win by collecting the correct combination of amazing artifacts that only a chrononaut could acquire. So shuffle up this time-machine-in-a-box and start changing history!
