TUESDAY NIGHTS AT THE 'GATE

MMSGS Game Nights are on Tuesdays from 6:00-9:00pm at Valhalla's Gate. We play games like "Puerto Rico", "Ticket to Ride", "Goa", "St. Petersburg", "Princes of Florence", "Carcassonne", "Settlers of Catan", or comparable games that can be completed in the three hours available before the store closing.

Next meeting: August 3, 2010.

MONTHLY MEETINGS

The monthly weekend Society meetings are normally on the first Saturday of each month at the Columbia library, starting at 9:00am. They are normally games that require more time than the three hours available on Tuesday nights. The players who participate on a regular basis rotate in proposing a game for the following meeting, which they commit to bring and/or lead.

Next meeting: August 7, 2010. The game to be played is "Race for the Galaxy".

SPECIAL MEETINGS

These are other meetings open to all Society members and advertised through the Society's Yahoo group.
