Friday, Sept. 9: Come play games at Collector’s Connection, milling about starts at 5:30, action starts by 6pm. The game this week is “Empire Builder,” led by William Belcher.
I myself have taken the Empire Builder on Amtrak to Milwaukee and Chicago dozens of times, and I have taken it to Portland and Seattle. (It goes nowhere near the landmarks depicted on the box, stopping some thousand miles short of the Statue of Liberty and north of the Golden Gate Bridge.) I would ride that train to the moon if they’d let me — the views of Glacier and of the Mississippi/Lake Pepin alone are worth the ride.
It has its own Wikipedia page. Bill is a good teacher for the first time gamer.
