Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 6^th May, at the Horse and Jockey pub in Stanford-in-the-Vale.  As usual, we will be playing shorter games from 7.30pm as people arrive, until 8pm when we will start something a little longer.

This week the “Feature Game” will be Splendor which is a new game of chip-collecting and card development.  As it is a fairly simple game about gold and gemstones that is quick to teach and play and will give us the opportunity to decide what longer games we would like to play once everyone has arrived.

And talking of jewels…

Jeff and his friend, Joe, heard that the streets of Blackpool were paved with gold.  So, one afternoon they set out together to make their fortune.

As they got out of the car Joe saw a golden sovereign lying on the pavement.  Bending down to pick it up he said to Jeff, “Would you look at that!  We’ll be making our fortune in no time at all!!”

Jeff stopped him saying, “Leave it there for now, we can always start work tomorrow morning…”
