Jackson Gamers' schedule of games for 2010
Our theme this year On Ship and On Shore
Please scroll down to see all months.
This year we have an overall theme of On Ship and On Shore. Games will be a battle afloat, or related to water such as a river crossing, or in vast depths of space! However, as usual, the Jackson Gamers reserve the right to play any game that strikes us as fun! Even when it has no relation to our theme year at all!
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 while this is our best attempt at a definative listing, changes will certainly be made to this schedule of games. This should be considered as tentative until we actually start rolling the dice for the game!
