Hey Boardy, what should we play Saturday? There will be 4 of us
Boardy
Ooh 4 players! What's the vibe - something chill or cutthroat?
From your collection, I'd suggest:
1. Wingspan (8.1) - relaxing engine builder, 60min
2. Root (8.0) - asymmetric warfare, 90min
3. Azul (7.8) - quick tile drafting, 30min
Wingspan sounds perfect!
Boardy
Great choice! Wingspan it is. I'll ping everyone about Saturday. What time works — 6pm or 7pm?
7pm works for me!
Boardy
That's 2 for 7pm. Hey @Mike and @Sarah — Saturday at 7pm for Wingspan? Reply to RSVP!
