I was originally planning to stay home on my birthday, this coming Sunday. I was planning to break out my big Conquest of the Empire (Eagle Games version) to play with my son and possibly play both the "Classic" rules and the "II" rules. My wife called her friend Candace, which is Blain's wife, and was talking to her about it. Apparently he was interested in getting together to play and thought it would be fun to meet at the mall again since he enjoyed playing there. If you're interested in joining us, let me know.
