Game of the Week -- Arkham Horror
[9/9/2009 - Michael Beck]

This week's game is the board game of Lovecraftian terror: Arkham Horror.

Arkham Horror places a rag tag group of investigators in a desperate race to prevent ancient and powerful entities from gaining entrance into our world. Set in the 1920's, Arkham features an innovative system forcing players to choose which skills will be strong, and which skills will be much weaker. Every turn sees players fending off horrors, encountering the strange workings of secret societies, struggling to maintain dwindling sanity, and doing everything they can to seal the portals opened by a malevolent ancient deity.

Will you take on the role of the gangster, professor, dilettante, student, drifter, or one of the many investigators found in the town of Arkham? Do you possess the strength of mind necessary to ward off the evil force of Yig, Nyarlathotep, Hastur,or the famous sleeper Great Cthulhu? Each game offers a new sanity shattering experience, that will force you to gamble with your very mind.


Game of the Week -- Warmachine/Hordes
[9/3/2009 - Michael Beck]

Each week on Sunday at SGC, a different game receives the distinction as Game of the Week and will be run/taught to all interested. The choices will include board games, card games, miniatures games, RPGS, etc. The goal of the Game of the Week is to expose SGC members to a variety of games they may have never played before.

This week's game of the week is a 2-in-1 special, as the two games are completely compatible with each other: Warmachine and Hordes.

WARMACHINE is a fast-paced and aggressive 30mm tabletop miniatures battle game set in the steam-powered fantasy world of the Iron Kingdoms. Players take on the role of elite soldier-sorcerers known as warcasters. Though warcasters are formidable combatants on their own, their true strength lies in their magical ability to control and coordinate mighty warjacks-massive steam-powered combat automatons that are the pinnacle of military might in the Iron Kingdoms. Players collect, assemble, and paint fantastically detailed models representing the varied warriors, machines, and creatures in their armies. This is steam-powered miniatures combat, and your tabletop will never be the same! http://privateerpress.com/warmachine.

Set in the wilds of the Iron Kingdoms, HORDES is WARMACHINE's feral twin. In this award-winning, fast-paced, 30mm tabletop miniatures game, players jump into the action controlling powerful battle-wizards known as warlocks. Warlocks are formidable combatants in their own right, but their true strength is drawn from their synergy with packs of savage warbeasts that allow them to contend on equal footing with the greatest modern armies of the Iron Kingdoms. Players collect, assemble, and paint fantastically detailed models representing the varied warriors, minions, and beasts in their hordes. This is monstrous miniatures combat, and your tabletop will never be the same! http://privateerpress.com/hordes.
