Next Meeting, 27th June 2023

Our next meeting will be Tuesday 27th June 2023.  As usual, we will start playing shorter games from 7.30pm as people arrive, until 8pm when we will start something a little longer.  There is currently no food available, so everyone will be eating before they come out.

This week, the “Feature Game” will be the Aerial expansion (rules; review; how to play video) to one of our most popular little games, Draftosaurus (rules; review; how to play video).  Since the group first played it online in 2021, we have played it lots of times in person, drafting real, cute, miniature, wooden dinosaurs.  This expansion adds a mountain board and wooden Pterodactyls.  We’ve picked this game because it we know it well and it plays quickly, allowing lots of options for the rest of the evening.

Speaking of Pterodactyls…

Jeff and Joe were visiting the Natural History Museum and were staying in a cheap hotel in London.  Joe came into the bedroom and Jeff asked him where he’d been.

Joe said, “I was in the bathroom—can’t a guy go to the loo in peace?”

Jeff apologised, “Sorry, it’s just that it’s a small hotel room and the walls are made of cardboard, and, well, I just didn’t hear you pee.”

“Of course you didn’t,” Joe answered quickly, “That’s because I’m like a Pterodactyl.”

Jeff was utterly confused by this, so asked, “How on earth are you like a Pterodactyl?”

Joe explained, “Because my P is silent…”
