3rd Thurs: Birds and the Bees
Let’s celebrate spring! With beautiful and vibrant games like Apiary, Wingspan, (Finspan?!), Everdell, and/or Meadow. The choice of game will probably depend on how many players we have. I think we’ll encourage playing Apiary, so what follows is a bit more details on that game.
Apiary will play with groups of 1-5 players. From the Publisher:
In a far-distant future, humans no longer inhabit Earth. The cause of their disappearance (or perhaps their demise) is unknown, but their absence left a void ready to be filled by another sentient species.
Over the span of untold generations, one species of the humble honeybee evolved to fill that void. They grew in size and intelligence to become a highly advanced society. They call themselves Mellifera, and they have made substantial technological advances in addition to the technology they adapted from human ruins, up to and including space travel.
In Apiary, each player controls one of twenty unique factions. Your faction starts the game with a hive, a few resources, and worker bees. A worker-placement, hive-building challenge awaits you: explore planets, gather resources, develop technologies, and create carvings to demonstrate your faction's strengths (measured in victory points) over one year's Flow. However, the Dearth quickly approaches, and your workers can take only a few actions before they must hibernate! Can you thrive or merely survive?
Wingspan: 1-5 Players
Everdell: 1-4 Players
Meadow: 1-4 Players

3rd Thurs: Luck o’ the Irish
This month we’ll take on luck based (read: dice!) and ecology focused games! Some games we have in mind are…
Quacks of Quedlinburg (featuring a push-your-luck mechanic)
Daybreak (themed with solving climate change)
Parks (nature)
Sagrada (dice rolling/drafting)

3rd Thurs: Dead of Winter
In the dark, zombies come out!
In winter's chill, darkness consumes the last sunlight, and a new threat emerges. Snow covers abandoned streets in eerie silence, but the dead rise, animated by hunger for warmth and flesh. Each night, they draw closer, their moans echoing. A small group of survivors must traverse this perilous landscape to escape the undead and reveal the mystery behind the horror.
Will we survive the cold and the lurking undead, or become the next victims?


3rd Thurs: Ugly Sweaters
Don your tackiest, most outrageous holiday sweater and get ready for a fun-filled night of laughter, games, and holiday cheer. We'll have snacks, drinks, and plenty of board games to keep the good times rolling!
There will also be a bit of a gift giveaway/prize opportunity!

Focus: Rush MD
You are one of the doctors that were just hired for the brand-new, cutting-edge Medical Center. Alongside your colleagues, you have to cooperate well, to admit, diagnose and treat various patients who need your help. Combine your strengths and treat efficiently the patients arriving at hospital, but be careful, because mistakes can be of the highest value in Rush MD!
'Rush M.D. is an innovative, real-time, cooperative board game that simulates the challenging and high-pressure nature of medical professions. A worker placement mechanism, using hourglasses as workers allows, but also limits, players to perform a multitude of actions. Each player handles 1 Doctor hourglass running around the hospital, admitting patients, providing immediate medical care, performing different kinds of exams as well as performing surgeries. Additionally, there are 4 more Nurse hourglasses, which can be used by all players. Nurses provide medicines to patients, supply all necessary drugs and equipment that you need to carry out all your exams and medical procedures. Any worker placed on an action space may not be used elsewhere before the sand within the hourglass runs out, making each decision important as time is limited.

3rd Thurs: Thanksgaming
Maybe you need to turn off the stressed-about-the-holidays part of your brain and instead focus on how to DEMOLISH YOUR OPPONENTS! The image is just for fun. We don't own The Thanksgiving Game, and wouldn't subject you to it if we did!

Focus: Scythe
Scythe is an engine-building game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It is a time of farming and war, broken hearts and rusted gears, innovation and valor. In Scythe, each player represents a character from one of five factions of Eastern Europe who are attempting to earn their fortune and claim their faction's stake in the land around the mysterious Factory. Players conquer territory, enlist new recruits, reap resources, gain villagers, build structures, and activate monstrous mechs.
