Come and try some two player games. Games available include: 7 Wonders Duel, Jai-pur, Patchwork, and Akotiri.
7 Wonders Duel offers a 2-player version of the ever-popular 7 Wonders. In this head-to-head match-up, every card you draft is important. Rules are similar to 7 Wonders, with a few differences. An average game takes about 30 minutes. Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan. You are one of the two most powerful traders in the city. But that's not enough for you, because only the merchant with two Seals of Excellence will have the privilege of being invited to the Maharaja's court. You are therefore going to have to do better than your direct competitor by buying, exchanging and selling at better prices, all while keeping an eye on both your camel herds.
In Patchwork, two players compete to build the most aesthetic (and high-scoring) patchwork quilt on a personal 9x9 game board. To start play, lay out all of the patches at random in a circle and place a marker directly clockwise of the 2-1 patch. Each player takes five buttons — the currency/points in the game — and someone is chosen as the start player. Akrotiri places you in the role of an explorer in Classical Greek times, combing the then-uncharted Aegean sea for lost Minoan temples that have long ago fallen into ruin. You've not only heard of these temples hidden around the island of Thera, but you actually have access to the secret maps that tell you of their hidden locations! Two mountains to the north? A volcano to the west? This *must* be the spot...
My plan is to bring at least two copies of the games and offer continuous gaming throughout the block of time for any one who wants to play. If you sign-up, you don't need to stay the entire time. You may come late and still play a game. You may come without signing up, but people on the list will have priority.
