Dayton's game group generally only meets on shabbat, which would preclude me from attending. Perhaps in response to my request for an alternative day for gaming while I was in the area, or simply by coincidence, one of the gamers - Bruce - held a day of gaming in his house this past Sunday. Bruce. Note the three shelves stacked with games behind him. Although Bruce's house appears on Google Maps if...
