Berks Boardgamers Journal
Game Day #10, January 21st, 2006, 10am-11pm
Highland Estate Community Center, New Smithville, Pa

or see our website for specific directions:

The "Morning Monster" for Game Day #10 will be played at the usually 10am time. We will be playing Railroad Tycoon and time permitting, Circus Maximus. If you have another suggestion for a future game day (such as Revolution or Manifest Destiny) then please let me know ASAP so I can coordinate it. There will be other gamers there at 10am also if you're not interested in a long game, so drop in early.

I'm very hopeful that I'll have some of the newer games by then such as Hacienda, Caylus, Reef Encounter, and Antike.  Let me know what you're interested in playing if you're coming. Also, if there's another game that you would be interested in trying just let me know. 

If you're interested in getting together in a small group, please contact me, jim@berksboardgamers.com.

We hope to see you there on Friday…
