Next Meeting – 6th October 2015

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 6th October, 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 Tokaido, which is a game where players are pilgrims crossing the Japanese “East sea road”, meeting people, tasting fine meals, collecting beautiful items, discovering great panoramas, and visiting temples.

And speaking of pilgrims…

Two pilgrims were going hunting.  One of them, Joe, was struggling under the weight of the two blunderbusses he was carrying.  After a while, his companion, Jeff, asked, “Why are carrying two guns?”

Joe explained, “I usually miss the first time I shoot. By taking a second gun I have a better chance of hitting it.”

Jeff thought about this for a while and then said, “Why not just take the second gun, and only shoot once?”
