Games / Nerd Slog Nerd Happy Hour TONIGHT

Posted by The Stranger Testing Department on Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 10:34 AM

MR. HERRIMAN

Like Mary said, the last Friday of the month is here again—and that means beer-and-board/card-game goodness with y'all Slog nerds at Raygun Lounge, starting at 5pm and on into the night. (Originally, we had said 5 to 9, but we have yet to end that early because GAMES.)

We have also somehow snagged yet another special guest this time around: Devin Low (former head developer for Magic) will be teaching his Marvel deck-building game Legendary. We've played the heck out of this game, and it's faithful to the IP while also being really fun (much better than the DC deck-builder, in our experience)—whether you're trying to tune your deck into a fast-playing Spider-Man card-flipper or a wound-chomping Hulk rage machine.

And as if all that weren't enough, Mary will even have some FaerieCon tickets to give away—presumably through some sort of contest involving displays of elven grace.

The Stranger Testing Department is Rob Lightner and Paul Hughes.

Can't wait to come! I'll be bringing Game of Thrones and Seasons to cover the "epic" to "fast/fun" spectrum!

Planning to bring Castle Ravenloft, and quick-and-easy D&D-lite game.

I swear I'm gonna get around to one of these soon, but I just spent the day running errands, so I'm not up for it this time, even though I'd been planning to go all week.

But now that I know it typically runs late, I actually feel more inclined to go in the future, knowing that I won't miss most of the evening if I arrive a couple hours into the evening.

I wish I could be there tonight to try out evilvolus' game, though. That sounds awesome.
