DonationCoder board game night Saturday April 9th at 5pm, in Champaign IL

Anyone in the area is welcome to join us for board game night at my house (in Champaign, IL) on Saturday, April 9th starting at 5pm. [won't technically be many DC folks but that doesn't matter, you are still welcome.]

I will be running a 10k in the morning nearby (http://www.allertonraces.com/) -- if you are interested in participating in that as well i'd be happy to give you a lift from my house.

There will be food and snacks.  Message me for directions.

While an 11 hour drive sounds nice, it's a little out of the way for me. But I would be there if I were a lot closer. :-)

Thanks for the invite though.

Board game night was a ton of fun.
Also, i finished 88 of 208 in the muddy 10k trail run in 30degree weather.  was brutal -- i can barely move my legs -- good stuff.

Which game(s) did you play?

We played games that could handle 8+ players:

• Mayday Mayday! - Hidden role bluffing game where you have to vote on who to let into the cockpit of a hikacked plane; we played twice, bad guys one once, good guys one once. Fun.
• Telestrations - A fun drawing game that I always play with large groups; no winners just lots of laughs; works with all ages.
• Dixit (Odyssey) - Players try to guess the weird picture card that best matches a clue; another nice game for larger groups of all ages, since there is no down time.
• Codenames - Very popular recent game where two teams compete to choose words to match clues; always popular, fast to play, very fun.

Right on.  I promise I'll make it to one of these nights.  =]

Looking forward to it.

Wish I could make it- don't get to play too many boardgames these days.  But IL is quite a hike LOL
