Greetings all,

With the coming of February, we know we've made it out of the darkest (if not necessarily the coldest) part of the winter. We're fortunate that while TCASL and the Super Bowl fall on the same weekend, they do not in fact fall on the same day. If they did, we'd have some tricky decisions to make. As it stands, we're looking at a weekend well spent.

We'll be back at the Roseville County Library Board Room again, thanks to positive feedback and early reservations.

Details:
Day:
2/11/23
Time: 10:00am - 4:30pm
Location: Ramsey County Library Roseville 2180 Hamline Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113
Masks: Highly recommended [This winter isn't being nice on the pandemic front]


The ASL Annuals provided us with a lot of material, some of which has aged remarkably well. Here are some quick playing, well balanced examples:

Good to meet everyone thanks. I've downloaded VASSAL/VASL and will take a look at the user guide and see what I can figure out. Also found the ASL discord and joined. Will be checking/posting here and BGG for updates/questions and when I am available for games.
