Who will be crowned the almighty Lord of Catan? We’re just six days away from the GeekWire Meetup and Game Night where we’ll be busting out some of our favorite old-time board games (Yes, Settlers of Catan), as well as some new favorites (Kinect bowling or boxing, anyone?)

We’ve got a crowd of gaming geeks coming out for the big night on Wednesday, February 8th, and there’s still room for a few more. If you’re not into games, just stop on by to grab a drink with the GeekWire community and escape the winter doldrums. Details and tickets here.

Now, here’s where we could use some help. The Settlers of Catan tournament is shaping up to be an epic competition, so if you plan to play in the tourney please email me at: john@geekwire.com. That way we can get a better sense on our numbers.

Also, because we have so many folks coming out, we need some extra copies of Catan. So, let us know if you have a personal copy you can bring out next Wednesday.

We’ve got some fun surprises in store for the big night. Thanks to our sponsors — and the generous support of Catan publisher Mayfair Games — we’ll have a full slate of awesome prizes. Believe me, no one will walk away empty-handed.

The meetup and game night will kick off promptly at 5 p.m., so be there or I’ll gladly steal all of your wheat, sheep and ore!

A big thanks to our sponsors: Microsoft Hotmail, thePlatform, Microsoft Playtest and Card Kingdom.
