About us
If you're a friendly person who enjoys medium and heavy weight European style strategy games, like Lisboa, Agricola, Terraforming Mars, Great Western Trail, and other games that get better with repeated plays, this may be the group for you. If you're someone who also enjoys thematic American style games like Eldritch Horror, Dune, and others? You should definitely join. And finally, if you're looking to try some war games, 18xx or even a legacy style game you've been dying to get to the table: welcome! Looking forward to meeting you! Over the next few months, we'll play games by modern masters Vital Lacerda, Uwe Rosenberg, Daniele Tascini, Alexander Pfister, as well as games by lesser known, but also great designers like Alexander Huemer.

Come Play Age of Industry
Ballston Quarter, 4238 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA, USIt's the first Thursday of the month, and that means we will be replaying a game we played recently: Age of Industry.
However, we only have one copy of Age of Industry, and so as an overflow game, we'll also bring multiple copies of Brass: Birmingham to play.
Age of Industry description from BGG:
Martin Wallace's streamlined redesign of Brass: Lancashire.
Players are tycoons in the early days of the Industrial Revolution; a time when traditional craftsman were being rapidly replaced with steam-powered machines. Players invest in the production of raw materials, the manufacture of goods, and the transportation networks needed to connect them to their markets.
Like Brass, the strategic space is vast, and player decisions are limited by cards. In Age of Industry, however, cards are color-coded to regions rather than specific cities, allowing the players to be more flexible with their plans, while at the same time continuing to limit the decisions available. The color-coded region cards will also support expansion maps.
In addition, the original Brass rules were simplified by eliminating the canal period; there is only one period, the railway era. There is also a new, non-specific industry, which will change with each map.
According to Wallace, "You can now play something with the depth of Brass, but in half the time. The game will have a double-sided map, with Germany on one side and southern New England on the other."
