Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 5th 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 Key Flow, a sort of card game version of one of our favourite games, Keyflower. In truth, though the theme is similar and the iconography and some of the mechanisms are the same, the two games are really very different. Key Flow is a card drafting game where players are adding cards to their village, and to the river that flows alongside.

And speaking of rivers…
Jeff had just been handed his P45 and was feeling very, very down. He had loved his job and been proud of what he did and didn’t know how he was going to tell his friends and family. Walking home, he crossed a bridge high above the Thames. As he looked over the railing he contemplated his position and suddenly found himself standing on the top rail getting ready to jump. As he perched precariously, he happened to look down and saw a little man with no arms dancing on the river bank below.
Jeff thought, “My life isn’t so bad after all—at least I have both arms.” And with that he got off the railing. Filled with a strange feeling of relief, he then walked down to the river bank to thank the little man for saving his life.
“Excuse me…” Jeff said as he approached the little man. “I Just wanted to say thank-you. I was about to jump off that bridge and kill myself, but when I saw you dancing even though you have no arms, I changed my mind.”
“Dancing? I’m not dancing,” the armless man replied bitterly. “I’ve got an itch and I can’t scratch it!”
