Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, 4th September, 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 the Farmers expansion to one of our favourite games, Keyflower. The expansion introduces sheep, cows and pigs which players keep in the space between the roads in their village, as well as wheat to feed them with.

And talking of farmers…
A Jeff was driving down a country road, when he spotted a farmer standing in the middle of a huge pasture. He pulled over to the side of the road and watched: the farmer was just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing. A little concerned that he there might be something wrong, Jeff got out of the car, walked all the way out to the farmer and asked him, “Are you OK?”
The farmer replied, “Of course, I’m fine.”
Jeff could see that although the farmer was behaving oddly, there was clearly nothing wrong. His concern had just given way to curiosity though. He hesitated, but he couldn’t just leave it and walk away. “So, if you don’t mind, what are you doing?”
“I’m trying to win a Nobel Prize,” answered the farmer.
Jeff was non-the-wiser, so continued, “But how?”
The Farmer grinned, “Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize to people who are out standing in their field…”
