Lord Goober it is your birthday! That is a super fun day to have game. :)
As to the game rules:
We are all going to play using the minis in the new beginning box set (Griffin & Wolverine). We will be playing regular rules (not the quick start rules in that box). You can also pick any variant of the Griffin & Wolverine (and have a couple on back up in case you get killed). Bonus points if you have yours painted. :D
