Our next meeting will be Tuesday 25th July 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. The pub is now doing food, we we will be meeting from 6.30pm for those who would like to eat.
To mark the recent announcement of the Spiel des Jahres winners, this week, the “Feature Game” will be the Kennerspiel winner, Challengers! (rules, review; how-to-play video). This is a deck-building, dueling “capture the flag” game where players battle head-to-head to find the winner. This is a very light game, but that should give us opportunity to play other games, perhaps some that have won (or been nominated for) the Spiel des Jahres awards in the past.

Joe nodded at this choice. “Very well then.” He solemnly handed both swords to his opponent. “Here are your swords; that just leaves me with the guns…”
