The club has long been an incubator of new ideas and games. Yesterday was a big first playtest of a new WWI game. Each unit is a corps, so each player controls two armies in the beginning and an army group by the end.

Find some folks to pool some funds and find an empty space with a willing landlord and build from there. This stated with just a few guys four decades ago, and if we did it an expensive place like NYC anyone can do this.
