EPGS Meeting, July 18th, 2020

EPGS will be hosting board gaming on Saturday July 18th, in the Community Room on the Upper Level of Oxford Valley Mall from 11 am until 7 pm. This is subject to change if the Mall has any issues that crop up that would render us unable or unwanting to meet there.

I know many of you are happy to hear this, and I know many of you think this is a bad idea. This decision was not made lightly, and I know that re-opening EPGS is a decision with essentially a lot of wrong answers. If we re-open, people will be unhappy. If we stay closed, people will be unhappy. I’ve had some emails from both sides, and from those just wanting updates.

I understand that many of you have no interest in attending at this time, and that is your prerogative.

To get an idea of potential headcount, it would be most appreciated if you respond that you are intending to come to the meeting on Meetup.

There will be a number of things different about this meeting, due to the current pandemic. Notably:

Meeting & Mall hours are reduced from 11-7.
The only Mall restrooms are the ones near the food court.
Not all food court vendors have re-opened yet.

The Community Room doors will be kept closed.
Face coverings are required.
There will be hand sanitizing wipes available in a pop-up tub.
A non-contact forehead temperature scanner shall be in use.
Tables will spaced well apart from each other.
No raffle, no prize table.


At the 7/18/2020 EPGS meeting, 7 games were played with 7
different titles represented by 8 gamers who attended.

A dash, then a number after a title indicates the number of times
it was played; if no dash & number is present it was played only
once. If a game has various maps or can be played with or
without expansions, it will usually be listed as the name of the
base game, unless the variant map is published as a standalone
game.
