Puerto Rico, Game 03: Moët Margarita - Interest?
In May of 2012, I posted an overview of the familiar board game Puerto Rico, and then hosted a couple of games: Transit of Venus which started on 05 June 2012 and followed the core rules, and Summer Scorpion which started on 03 July 2012 and followed the Extra Buildings expansion.
I'm putting out feelers for a third round to be played with the Extra Buildings and Nobles expansions.
Any interest? Start would be sometime after the 4th of July.

I should be available for a game like this and would be in.

I will play as an alternate if you don't get enough people. There was a sort of waiting list last time, so I just put me at the end of whatever list you come up with to give others a chance to play.
...
I really should get a camera one day so I can easily take pictures of a games to host here. I've got plenty of space in my basement to watch a game develop.

Does this involve having to own the game or is it driven via forum posts and PM's?

Re: Puerto Rico, Game 03: Moët Margarita - Interest?
I am interested though I have never played this game before. There might be a bit of a learning curb if you don't mind a noob on the roster.

Re: Puerto Rico, Game 03: Moët Margarita - Interest?
I wouldn't worry about being new. If past experience serves Grund has done a very fine job of layout the rules and being available for folks questions (I'm new to the expansion myself so plan on asking when I get stuck as well).

That's only on Mondays. Don't know if I'd go for the Wings, Potato Skins, or Cheese Sticks. If we went together then we could pick two but my problem is I'm on a diet.Chaosraven wrote:Hell with that, we're going to TGIF*ckloads of Hot Wings...LordMortis wrote:Gaming at Ravens!

As I did in game 02, I'll explain at the start of game 03 just how the expansion(s) affect the core gameplay.
