I agree with Fergus.

Given that we all have certain favorite games, I think the easiest way to reconcile everyone's interests is to adopt a Potluck Single Round Robin format, in which each player choose and brings a unique game. Let's see with an example how it would work. Right now we are 5 participants: Fergus, Greg, Nick, Aurelian and Carlos. Let's suppose that the choice of each one is thus:

Fergus(F): Eurasian Chess(EC)

Greg(G): Opulent Chess(OC)

Nick(N): Mimic Chess(MC)

Aurelian(A): Apothecary Chess 1(AC1)

Carlos(C): Symmetric Chess(SC)

Then

F [driving Black side] would play EC vs G, N, A, C 

G [driving Black side] would play OC vs F, N, A, C

N [driving Black side] would play MC vs F, G, A, C

A [driving Black side] would play AC1 vs F, G, N, C

C [driving Black side] would play SC vs F, G, N, A

If the total number of participants were greater than or equal to 10, then we could form 2 groups, and the winners of each group would face a final second stage.

What do you all think of this idea?
