From now to the 5th...

So, I'm off work until the 5th. I think I want to fill that time with gaming and maybe some other stuff. Some is, already, booked though.

27th - booked
28th - booked
31st - booked

The rest of the time is free.

I'd like to do a combination of things. I'd like to organise some general gaming, but I'd also like to arrange for one or more focussed get-togethers. That is, to plan to sit down for a specific longer game with the correct number of players.

Games I'm looking at for this -- not all mine:

Through the Ages (yes, again, me +2 players).
Struggle of Empires (me + 4-6 players) [I haven't played this yet.]
Die Macher (ironphoenix has a copy, # of players?)
Age of Steam (ironphoenix has a copy - what is playing time estimate?)
Brittania (me + exactly 3 players)
Twilight Struggle (me + 1 player)
Maybe Diplomacy (me + exactly 6 players)

Does anyone else have any longish games that they'd like to suggest?

Who is interested? What are people's availability?

Finally!

I finally got a full game of Through the Ages done. 5.5 hours -- definitely keep it to 3 people next time (which BGG says is the sweet spot for the game).

ironphoenix kicked ass, I came a distant 2nd.

Oh, and 2 more games of Dominion. This seems to be turning quickly into a favourite of many people.
