Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 13^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 Marrakech, which is a strange, yet very simple little area control game where players take the role of a salesperson who tries to outwit the others by placing pieces of carpet.
