Gameshelf: More players plz

[prog]

I might have to do camera for this Wednesday's (as in day-after-tomorrow's) Gameshelf shoot, knocking us down to three Gnostica players. This is workable but I'd rather have four. Any volunteers? Call time is 7 pm Wednesday at the SCAT studio in Union Square. Reward is everlasting fame &c. Current players include magid, queue and taskboy. Contact me if you're interested. (You can just show up if you want, but in that case your role will probably be relegated to Silent, Brooding Off-Camera Audience.)

There might be a game of Memoir '44 in it for you too, if that's your bag. If you want to play M44 and not Gnostica, that would work too.

yours is the second mention of M44 on my friends page today. What is it??

It's a lightweight World War II themed wargame with a cool card-based mechanic and a play-time of only an hour or two. I discovered it last year and love it, as do pretty much all my tactical board-game-fan friends.

If someone's posting about it now, I bet it's regarding the expansion sets that just came out. I haven't gotten them yet because they're stupid-expensive. (Being a Days of Wonder product.)

of course distance in the way... but I will comment that I'm going to swing by the local game shop tomorrow. That new one in WTVL. Think they're have M44? What's the player count for M44?

I have never visited this store so I don't know. If they have any Days of Wonder titles (like Ticket to Ride) then they probably will have M44 too. It's also undergoing a big re-marketing campaign right now due to expansion sets coming out.

Oh, and it's a two-player game. The box claims that it is 2-4 players, but this is dumb: it suggests that players break up into teams. This is therefore as true as saying that Chess is 2-4 player game too.

Hey! You're not giving away my Memoir 44 slot, are you?

Dang it, rereading that it comes across angry. I should've added a smiley :-)

But are you planning multiple Memoir 44 shoots? I likely won't be able to make it for a shoot until Thanksgiving week, because of work stuff. Long story, but this is the first time in the 3 years I've worked there that there's been a crunch where people are expected to put in extra hours to meet a looming deadline.
