Important news!

Our Brewmaster reports:

"The Ludophilia Oak Aged Belgian Quad is ready and aging in it’s keg. It tastes fantastic. The first ever Ludophilia Cider is also ready and tasting great."

Also - "I am going to make two more beers, a Steam beer and probably a straight up porter, although I might think of something creative to flavor it with."

After reading that, I will probably be daydreaming of beer today.

Check out the library file!

Hi Boardgame Friends:

It's sort of starting to feel like spring is around the corner (as much as it does in Chicago), and that means Ludophilia, our favorite boardgame and craft beer weekend, is not far behind!  It's just over 2 months away!  (Don't forget we're in an earlier slot this year....)

ARE YOUR CALENDARS MARKED?
The weekend for Ludophilia 8 is Thursday, April 26th through Sunday, April 29th, 2018.  We typically play from 8:00am until midnight-ish Thursday through Saturday, but we'll most likely be packing up around lunch time on Sunday.  It's at the Country Inn and Suites, 600 Tracy Trail, Crystal Lake, IL  60014.  Phone: 815-477-3500.  Make sure you ask for our group rate if you are reserving a guest room for yourself.  

It is awesome if you can register in advance by sending me $30 (for the full weekend) via Paypal to tempus42@yahoo.com.  (Or feel free to just stop by for a day or two at $10/day.) Be sure to use the Family & Friends option to avoid fees, and be sure to include a note with your name and the days you plan on attending.
If you have any questions at all about how this thing works or what you should do to join in, please email me!

LIBRARY FILE IS UP
Go to https://tinyurl.com/ludo8lib to see the spreadsheet that Mark Ashton set up for us to track who's bringing what games to the party.  Right now, Mark and I have entered our lists -- everyone should feel free to go into the "Data Entry: Bringing" tab and add whatever you'd like to bring - and be sure to add yourself to the "Data Entry: Attendees" tab so the library listing comes out right.  (If you'd like to take over anything I have listed, please go ahead and add your own entry, and I'll drop mine, with my thanks for reducing my load!)  If there's a game you definitely want to ask someone else to bring, add it to the "Data Entry: Requests" tab.

TRIVIA MURDER PARTY
Mark is planning on running a session of an online party game called "Trivia Murder Party" on Friday or Saturday night.  Be sure to be there to check it out!

T-SHIRTS
Yes, there will be t-shirts again this year.  Designs are in the works, and I hope to have pictures and order details for you within a couple weeks.

STAY TUNED
More details will follow!  Please keep watching your email and our blog at http://ludophilia8.blogspot.com/.  Really looking forward to seeing you all in April!
  
Brad.
