From a game played on Labor day, 2004 at Jay Stribling's home

Our theme this year

The Ages of Napoleon - the Great and the little

Please scroll down to see all months.

This year we continue our schedule structure of dividing the year into four "quarters." In each "quarter" we will have a theme and four games will be played in that theme and with the same set of rules. The remaining games will be "wild cards" unrelated to each other.

In months that have five weekends, we will game on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays instead of just the 1st and 3rd.

Please realize that changes will be made to this schedule of games. We try to give a weeks notice here, but if you are travelling from some distance, please confirm that the game will take place as scheduled. This should be considered as tentative until we actually start rolling the dice for the game!
