Next Meeting – 20th March 2018

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 20th March, 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 Boomtown.  Although we’ve played this before, it was a very long time ago and we thought we’d give it another outing.  The game is set in the Wild West, where players are prospectors bidding for mining concessions.  It is a fairly quick game, which should give us plenty of time decide what longer games we would like to play once everyone has arrived.

And talking of the Wild West…

The swing doors of the Wild West saloon crashed open and in came Jeff, black with fury.  “All right!” he raged, “All right! Who did it? What darned varmint painted my horse bright blue?”

The huge figure of Black Jake, a notorious gunfighter and town baddie rose from a chair by the door. “It was me, shrimp,” he drawled, bunching his gigantic fists, “What about it?”

“Oh, well, er,” stammered Jeff wretchedly, “All I wanted to say was… er… when are you going to give it another coat please?”
