Lou, Dianna, and Colin are playing Pandemic. The players play CDC specialists, who deal with outbreaks of virulent diseases and try to prevent world-wide pandemics. It's a cooperative game: the players need to work well together as a team in order to succeed.

Jay is moderating a game of Werewolf. Villagers (Sam, Chris, Derek, John, Ryan, and Jake) have been deliberating on who the secret werewolf among them is. It appears that the time for making a decision has arrived.

Derek is moderating another game of Werewolf. Honestly, the villagers don't seem too worried that a werewolf is decimating their ranks. Lou, Sam, Chris, Mark, Jay, Jake, Dan, James, and Becca are the villagers.

Sid and Tom are playing Race for the Galaxy, a card game of strategic development. To succeed, a player needs to develop a series of interstellar worlds and facilities that work well together. A variety of successful strategies keep the game challenging.

Sam, Chris, Ryan, John, and Neil are playing Agricola, a land development game. Each plays a farming couple with a wooden shack. It's all uphill from there.
