We had a total of 19 people at today's event, including five who were attending for the first time ever. There was way too much dessert for the number of people present, but that's not always a bad thing. In addition to Car Wars, 7 Wonders, Starfarers of Catan, Pandemic, Tsuro, Wrath of Ashardalon and Notre Dame got played.

Car Wars itself suffered a little from a lack of interest at this particular event, but we'll still have it at the October event, so put it on your calendar now. We'll probably do much the same as we did today, with a series of team-based first-kill matches (hopefully without pointless head-on suicide collisions terminating gameplay prematurely). I've got plenty of unused div 40 and div 10 cars created that we can play with, we just need players.

First-timer Ruth won the door prize this month and picked up a copy of Bohnanza (the last one we had, I think). There's other good stuff floating around to fill the open slot, though; we'll find an appropriate choice before the next event.

If you were among the many regulars that missed July (or even June too), perhaps you'll be tired of summer and its projects/vacations by the time August rolls around. Just in case, pencil in some fun on Saturday, August 13th. See ya then...
