So please come and visit us in the Gameroom!".
"S.A.R.Z. stands for "Swedish Asian Roleplaying Zone". Because when we started up this gameclub at 1998, we were a group of roleplaying gamers. At around 2002 we started to go to different conventions to demonstrate games!".

"Make You Gunfighters", "Dungeon War", "Fortress", "R-Eco", "Robo-Tory", "MineOut". Together with "Ruby Gloom" (from Korea) and "Whack a Catgirl" (from USA, but with manga-theme).
Tournaments:
Spank the Monkey (cardgame)
Spank the Monkey is a fast-paced, humorous card game with sneaky tactics. All players are working in a junk yard where a teasing monkey has appeared. Your job is to climb up to the monkey and spank it.
Tournamentprize is sponsored by Gigantoskop, the company which make the game.
Time: Friday (exact time to be verified)
Pentago (boardgame)
An abstract strategy game with four 3×3 grids arranged into a larger 6×6 grid. Players alternate placing marbles on the board, one player has white marbles and the other has black marbles. The first player to get five in a row on the entire 6×6 grid wins, but there is a new twist: Every time you place a marble you also turn any one of the game’s four boards (3×3 grid) 90° in either direction. The ever-changing game board makes the game all the more challenging.
