The Windsor Gaming Resource is teaming up with the University of Windsor Graduate Student Society to host an evening of gaming on November 5th. This event will be held at the Green Bean Cafe and will run from 6:00PM until 11:00PM. The Green Bean is a relatively new independent coffee house that I have been told has great coffee as well as a full dinner and lunch menu. They are located at 2320 Wyandotte St W. (Lower Level). You can find out more about The Green Bean here: www.greenbeancoffee.info/ The Cafe is providing us this space for free so please show your support and thanks by buying something to drink and eat. As far as the gaming goes you can expect the usual mix of games from one of our Games and Grub events. A mix ranging from casual to strategic, from Ameritrash to Eurogame and pretty much everything in between. For example at our last event we had The Great Dalmuti, Shadows over Camelot, Modern Art, Hex Hex DX, Hive, Caylus, Agricola and more. This is a casual event organized to get some people out to try some new games and to get a chance to play the games they love. This mixing of the WGR and the GSS is a great opportunity for people to meet and interact with other local gamers. If you have any questions or comments please post here and we will do our best to answer them.

Well that was a pretty great event.
At one point I had counting 35 different people playing games in the Green Bean. I'm pretty sure by the end of the event we had more then that. The Green Bean turned out to be a great venue. Bottomless coffee, lots of room and excellent food (man that Potato and Bacon soup was good)! made for a very pleasant evening.
My only real complaint is that we didn't have very much mixing between Gamers and Grads which is too bad. It was only our first event together though and I hope in the future we get more mixing.
Due to the number of people playing games I wasn't able to track everything played. Here's a list of what I remember: Shadows Over Camelot with the Merlin's Company Expansion. Scrabble Scattergories Settlers of Catan What's Yours Like Alien Frontiers The Great Dalmuti Dominion Dominion: Prosperity Ticket To Ride with USA 1910 expansion High Society Hacienda Traditional Cards - Didn't check to see exactly what the people were playing.
If you were there and I missed something let me know.
