Here is the first version of the layout proposal. @greg your castle can be oriented either sideways (solid lines) or facing forward (dotted lines) whichever you prefer and think would be best. @tcsbgdady your mountain is located in the left side where you requested. I’m working on some forest and ruins that can fill in the back or on the right side.
Does anyone else have anything larger than one 32×32 baseplate? If not, everything else can be filled in among these three larger MOCs and then held together with the river/water.
Not sure about April 27 yet. If that remains free, I’m all up for doing another game day.
Is anyone up for another Board Game Day on either Saturday, April 27 or Sunday, April 28? It looks like I am free both days (starting around 2:00 pm on Saturday and 1:00 pm on Sunday). If we have enough interest, I’m happy to host again. 🙂
I am pulling out of bunch of mythical creatures as well to see if I can fit them in the display.
I assume we still want all the water somewhere.
Nice! And yes, give us all the water.
Also @willmcdine, the Up House will look great floating overtop the castle landscape!
can I build a small mountain?
Absolutely. I’ll put you in for that space. Thanks, Jim.
Sharing your dreams of smoked meats, that is an impressive smoker. Our scout troop had one almost that big and it was awesome to use.
Very tempting but I will have to pass on this. But thank you @bacon1986 for the lead!
For $2,000, that looks like a pretty good deal if all of those modular sets are complete. And even if not absolutely complete, that is a lot of bricks for the cost.
Who all ended up being there? Leading up to the day, it looked like it was just going to be you, Mitch, and Hacim.
Me, Mitch, Micah, Jacob (my son), Dan, and Jen. Not sure about April 27 yet. If that remains free, I’m all up for doing another game day. We’ll see how things go.
Looking forward to it. Still 1pm start time?
I’m bring a new game I think you might really like Tim. Called Life of the Amazonia if anyone wants to look it up.
Will also bring Quacks and probably some others, feel free to request.
Yes, anytime around 1:00 pm is great.
Just looked it up on Board Game Geek – https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/368305/life-of-the-amazonia. It looks really good, in the same vein as Cascadia with maybe a few more strategic wrinkles.
I’ve got the following games available (not including “older” games like Clue):
– Ticket to Ride (US and PA/UK variant)
– Bohnanza
– El Capitan
– Cascadia
– Carcassonne
– Incan GoldSo we will have a good assortment to chose from. 🙂
@tbrown00 @tcsbgdady no worries at all. We’ll catch you next time. 🙂
Just bumping this as the 13th is this Saturday. Wanted to get a likely headcount. I have invited several friends of mine (non-LUG members) at least 2 of whom are coming.

@gregMy address is 105 Apple Blossom Lane, Cranberry Twp. If we get enough people, we can run at least two games simultaneously (there is plenty of room).
I also have 20,000 – 30,000 1×1 trans light blue studs if we need water.
Yes, I think doing water would pull everything together nicely. We did water years ago with a previous castle display and, like (Ben’s) lava, it just works very well to fill in the gaps.
Thank you, Greg. I am just working out final dimensions of my landscape before posting a first draft of the layout. Does anyone else have any specific space requirements (other than “filler”)?
I’d only be able to get down from Friday morning onward… maybe later Thursday evening. Is this acceptable?
This is fine. You are only required to check in by the end of the day Friday (around 5:00 pm) in order to get your badge, etc. So long as the rest of us attending know approximately how much space you’ve requested, we will leave that empty for you.
Do the lugs typically stay together to display and individual exhibitors get bunched into the separate themes? Or would lugs get separated as well?
It is your choice. You can choose to display as a LUG or you can ask to be placed within a theme area. Since there were several of us attending last year, we chose to display as a LUG, although Logan did both and had separate exhibits within other theme areas as well as including some stuff in the LUG area as well. And while we did not really coordinate a display as a LUG (other than space requirements), we could do that if people are interested (i.e a town, train, space, etc. display).
Jenny and I could make the 13th but not the 27th.
OK, thank you @randomdan. I’m keeping both days open for now and can likely do both if there is enough interest in both days. Hoping some more North side residents chime in here. 🙂
I am going to start working on a preliminary layout. Hope to have that together and will share here by end of the month(ish).
timf have you started a layout for Cranberry?
Yikes, is it already the end of the March??? OK, give me a few more days and I’ll get a prelim layout. If anyone knows what space they need, let me know here ASAP and I will incorporate it in.
@mitchsbricks thank you for hosting another awesome Board Game session. We had six people attend and played three games. The first was a group icebreaker word association game which was more complex than it first appeared. As a group, we failed miserably the first time, but rallied the second time for at least a somewhat respectable score. Next we played Libertalia, a pirate game. That was a new one for me but enjoyed the variety and would be definitely willing to play that one again. Finally, we revisited Quacks of Quedlingburg (Ben’s favorite potion brewing game).
I am volunteering to host the next Board Game Night in April, here in the far north of Cranberry. Saturday April 13 and Saturday April 27 are both available. I have a large finished basement so plenty of room for several games at once if needed. We could start around 1:00 pm and go until people want to leave (easy to order some pizza for dinner). Let me know who is interested and which day would work best.
My son, Jacob, will most likely be coming with me as well. @mitchsbricks we’ll probably be there around 1:00-1:15 pm. I had forgotten that we have the Blessing of the Baskets for Easter on Saturday at Noon (it takes about 15 minutes).
