Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 29^th December, 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 Broom Service which won the Kennerspiel des Jahres this year.  The game uses the role selection mechanic from Witch’s Brew (a game we played a few weeks ago), but adds much more with a board and a delivery mechanic.

Jeff’s wife was a little offended by this. “Well, she’s not going to be doing any cleaning if that’s what you mean,” she responded.

“Oh no,” said Jeff, “But we can borrow her broomstick…”
