There are no confusing "monthly" games that actually take place in the preceding month.  January's game is always an "amnesty game;" all pay the $2 off price. February, June, and October are Swiss Team games.  The Ev Hodge Charity Classic game on January 30 will be the annual Unit Party game, with a pre-game pot luck dinner and pre-sold tickets.
