Alternate Playing Spots Mid-Week

[kangor]

I will be moving into my new house on the Palm Jumeria next week, and I will have tons of space. I can host our entire events + 10. I know it is a little out of the way for the masses, but maybe a little mid-week pick up games? My family wont come till late August.

Does anyone else have any alternate playing spots for mid-week pick up games? MoE is good, but parking blos.

MoE is great for me, specially in 5 weeks when we move studios.
Meh, the occasional midweek game wouldn't hurt but Saturday is still my game day.

I guess we can arrange a mid week game, make it also a mid week swap /buy / sell cards days
come in, play a game or 2 + swap cards
i m in starting from next week, very busy this week

ICHIGOOOOOOO!

My office is near Dubai Marina so not much of a problem to drop by for a couple hours.
I can't have 3 days of Mtg a week though, so it's either that+saturday or thrusday+saturday.

[omarlk]

yeah 2days a week sounds good 2 me
that shall be my limit
if u like the avatar than u shall meet him in person
LOL

While it sounds great to play midweek we've tried that before on a couple of occaisions and after the initial novelty wears off we'd struggle to get players to come due to family or work commitments.

However if it's a once a month thing then that might work but in all fairness for most it will still be either a flat no or a struggle to attend due to work the next day.

I for one have enough to do through the week that I'd not be able to attend.

The idea is more intended for 2 or 3 people to get together and test for a couple hours. For instance...I have 3 deck that I want to play on Regional weekend, but I want to test them...basically it will not replace Thursday/Saturday it will be for those of us that would like more testing/playing time. Good for casual homebrew decks that you always want to play but dont want to take a chance on when there is money on the line.

For someone like me not playing online I really miss that. It's then a mental gymnastics to find out whether i can play a deck or not and what the chances are.
Simply put: I also need to test before Saturday

I'll see you ton8 for a start.

[xeitan]

we used to have tuesday-night games from here to there...

just post the place and dates...

[CutToTheChase]

Welllllllllll.. y'know if testing invloves lots of beer then hell yeah, but you won't be able to rely on the results

[Bop]

House on the Palm, nice.

Have you got any beach front?

Sorry got distracted. I would love to play some magic up this end for a change just tell me when.

[glenncaratao]

Count me in y'all. I've got around 3 decks in mind that I'm not sure of what to use at Regionals...

[noxy]

why not transform ton8 into a deckbuilding/testing/beer night instead of the usual FNM?
Of course we'd know more or less what the others would be playing Sat. but it'd make it more interesting as well.
