The chess chair, Noah Schwalbe ME, has been working hard to try to get a group of people together for a weekly chess event. With that said, he is making progress, but he is still hoping for a competitive team.
The chess club meets on Thursdays from 6:00pm-8:00pm at tables by the MAGE office. Any one is welcome to join the fun of playing a game or two. Noah will be there to help instruct play and general questions while playing his own games. Players of all skill are welcome to join.
Like fright? Feel the need to control hordes of zombies or kill dracula? Want to send a house into the very pits of hell? Want to kill everyone else on the board or take down the one who betrays you? Then Betrayl at the House on the Hill is the game for you! The game that is never the same twice uses a randomly generated mansion and dice to determine which of over 50 different senarios that you will go through. Each senario is crafted to be a different experiance using many different rules and peices through the game to increase enjoyment. Picture below is the two books used primarily in the game, each one contains all 50 senarios, but each book focuses on only 1/2 of the story. Thus the betrayer may control a horde of ghosts, but the players will be given clues on how to defeat them!
Personally I have played the game about 15 times and I have yet to play the same game twice. I found it extermely fun, but it is rules heavy. Fully reading the manual and the FAQ is desired and even then it is hard to remember every small rule. Yet it is a very fun game to play and well worth the effort.
Average Play Time: 45 minutes to 2 hours
Players: 3 to 6.

A fast paced game of survival, Tsuro challanges you to survive (and kill) in a game of chance and wits as you create you own path to eternity. The game itself is pretty fun and can offer quick enjoyment as the games tend to be rather short. The main idea behind the game is that you create paths by laying down tiles on the board. As you progress through the game the tiles begin to fill more and more of the board, increasing the chances of you creating a path to your own death or the death of others. MAGE has a copy of Tsuro in the innner office. So feel free to enjoy a turn at playing the game.
Average Play Time: 15 to 30 minutes
Number of Players: 3-8

Welcome back to school everyone! (Or welcome to MSOE, for any freshmen reading this ;-))
The http:\\www.magegaming.org URL has been changed to http:\\www.magegaming.com. Entering this URL redirects you to the MAGE webpage located on the MSOE website. Why? The magegaming.com URL is a lot easier to remember than the MSOE address.

Magercon is coming September 16th from 10am to 6pm in the CC-building. There will be gaming and a Halo tournament. More information to follow!
