Towel Day
2024-05-25 | Comic Quest, 23811 Bridger #111 CA 92630, Lake Forest, CA, 92630, United States
May 25th is known as “Towel Day” and celebrates the work of Douglas Adams. Fans carry around a towel due to a passage in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (and an earlier reference in the preceding radio series) that praises the versatility of towels for interstellar hitchhikers. May 25th doesn’t have any particular meaning in the fandom (FYI, the anniversary of the first radio broadcast is March 8th), the anniversary of the death of Douglas Adams is a few weeks earlier and it took time to set up the first Towel Day.

When do we play?

Wednesdays, 7-9pm
at Comic Quest (http://comicquest.org/)

How does this work?

Hello! We play D&D 5e on Wednesday nights, 7-9 pm, in-person at Comic Quest in Lake Forest. If you are looking to join one of CQ’s Wednesday night D&D 5e groups, here’s what you need to know.
First, join our Discord Server, which is the primary way that we organize and discuss regularly scheduled D&D groups and events. ** Once there, please look at Start Here for general information. Link to our Discord server: https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD
No experience with D&D is required, but different tables and DMs may have preferences. If you are interested in learning how to play there are “learn to play” sessions approximately once a month.
Our games are frequently full. Whether there is room at any given table changes week to week, so you have to post a message on the channel of any table you think you might be interested in to see if there are currently openings, as priority goes to regularly attending players. Some tables have PINNED information about their campaigns (click on the push-pin looking icon on the top ribbon of each campaign). Also, we often run a 1-shot table which is open to new players.
Facebook Group
What do I need to play?
Please check in with the DM of the table/game you are joining for these details, but some helpful items:

A character sheet (either your own or the pre-generated)
A writing utensil (Pencil, Pen)
Appropriate dice for your character
Appropriate source material for your character (basic book, Players Handbook, ability cards, whatever floats your boat)
A miniature (optional, but helpful)

We also have a Discord server: https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD](https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD?fbclid=IwAR3KLXW32PY__0KkFJjOwkw0HKpYYQMb-Cgr5HUSvDvXbl-SMZOmS0uaKXo)

Board Game Demo - Arboretum
2024-06-01 11:00 - 14:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
FREE Demo: Arboretum

Saturday June 1. 11am – 2pm
Comic Quest is providing FREE demos of a fun board game. Learn in a couple of minutes, it might be your next favorite game.

Arboretum is a strategy card game for 2-4 players, aged 10 and up, that combines set collection, tile-laying and hand management while playing in about 25 minutes. Players try to have the most points at the end of the game by creating beautiful garden paths for their visitors.
The deck has 80 cards in ten different colors, with each color featuring a different species of tree; each color has cards numbered 1 through 8, and the number of colors used depends on the number of players. Players start with a hand of seven cards. On each turn, a player draws two cards (from the deck or one or more of the discard piles), lays a card on the table as part of her arboretum, then discards a card to her personal discard pile.
When the deck is exhausted, players compare the cards that remain in their hands to determine who can score each color. For each color, the player(s) with the highest value of cards in hand of that color scores for a path of trees in her arboretum that begins and ends with that color; a path is a orthogonally adjacent chain of cards with increasing values. For each card in a path that scores, the player earns one point; if the path consists solely of trees of the color being scored, the player scores two points per card. If a player doesn’t have the most value for a color, she scores zero points for a path that begins and ends with that color. Whoever has the most points wins.

Board Game Demo - Jaipur
2024-06-08 11:00 - 14:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
FREE Demo: Jaipur

Saturday June 8. 11am – 2pm
Comic Quest is providing FREE demos of a fun board game. Learn in a couple of minutes, it might be your next favorite game.

You are one of the two most powerful traders in the city of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, but that’s not enough for you because only the merchant with two “seals of excellence” will have the privilege of being invited to the Maharaja’s court. You are therefore going to have to do better than your direct competitor by buying, exchanging, and selling at better prices, all while keeping an eye on both your camel herds.
Jaipur is a fast-paced card game, a blend of tactics, risk and luck. On your turn, you can either take or sell cards. If you take cards, you have to choose between taking all the camels, taking one card from the market, or swapping 2-5 cards between the market and your cards.
If you sell cards, you get to sell only one type of good, and you receive as many chips for that good as the number of cards you sold. The chips’ values decrease as the game progresses, so you’d better hurry! On the other hand, you receive increasingly high rewards for selling three, four, or five cards of the same good at a time, so you’d better wait!
You can’t sell camels, but they’re paramount for trading and they’re also worth a little something at the end of the round, enough sometimes to secure the win, so you have to use them smartly.

Book Club - Godzilla Here be Dragons

Each month we select a notable graphic novel for the book club. It is 25% Off to everyone all month. At the end of the month we meet to discuss.
Godzilla Here be Dragons
by Frank Tieri, Inaki Miranda
Meeting to discuss: Saturday June 8. Noon.
In the 1500s, a ship of seafaring navigators run afoul of a lost world where there is only one king, the King of the Monsters!
Before humanity had successfully traveled the entire globe, it was believed that monsters ruled the oceans just beyond the horizon. “Here there be dragons…” was written on maps to denote the areas people dared not go.That is, until Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the seas, visiting foreign lands and collecting treasure. That’s what history tells us, at least, but history does not have the full tale.
Monsters did lurk yonder, living on an island that still doesn’t appear on any map, and among them was the king of them all…Godzilla!
