Sunrise City Boardgame Night

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 02:29:15 +0000

Monday May 21st

Monday will be Sunrise City Boardgame Night. Rook’s will have two demo copies of Sunrise City and a staff member available to demo the game. We will be selling copies of Sunrise City for $5 off that night or $10 off if you buy an open copy.

Sunrise City is a role selection, tile-laying, city- building board game. It’s simple enough for kids of a reasonable age, friendly enough for family game night, and meaty enough for experienced gamers. It can be played by two, three, or four players and, depending on your experience, is playable in 60 to 90 minutes.
