Our first meeting of the New Year will be on Tuesday 9^th January 2024.  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 doing food, and the table is booked from 6.30pm for those that would like to eat first.

This week, the “Feature Game” will be Cascadia: Landmarks (rules, review and How to Play video), the new expansion to one of the group’s favourite tile laying games, the 2022 Spiel de Jahres winner, Cascadia.  This adds more players and additional end game scoring opportunities as well as more scoring cards and habitat tiles.

Speaking of landmarks…

Jeff was on a flight over Arizona on a clear day and the pilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about the landmarks they were passing.

“Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly a hundred and fifty feet in diameter and weighing three hundred thousand tons, struck the earth at about forty thousand miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is nearly six hundred feet deep.”

Jeff turned to the passenger next to him and excitedly exclaimed, “Wow! And it only just missed the highway too…!”
