Title: Malta! at Nationals 2010
Post by: TimMierz on August 11, 2010, 01:40:26 AM: Hey all, I'll be going to Nationals (Friday and Saturday), and I'll be bringing my advance copy of Z-Man Games' Malta! with me. The game will be available to purchase next month, but you can get a sneak peak. Here's what the game components look like:

Post by: TimMierz on September 12, 2010, 10:27:33 PM: I'm excited that Covenant Games has Malta! now. Now no one has an excuse. Buy four copies and I suppose you even get a Book of the Covenant! (Right, Chris?)

Tim, you may have missed the first autograph spree*, but if you get in on the contest here (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/58654/malta-contest-be-a-player) you can get a signed Malta! card for free. Do it do it do it.

* After my "how did that happen?" Nationals win, someone (I think Ben Arp) grabbed the post-it I wrote my name on to hold my deck space and tried to hock it in the Marketplace. I countered by trying to setup a fake counterfeit Tim Mierzejewski signature Post-It ring (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/timmierz/FakeCounterfeitSignatures.jpg), but that didn't catch on.

Post by: Warrior_Monk on October 19, 2010, 11:03:37 PM: We had a guy win in one turn (with only 3 people). It's a really fun game.
