Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 28^th May 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 Little Town (review, rules, “How to Play” video).  This is a resource management, worker placement and tile placement game where players take on the role of architects guiding teams building a small town.

And speaking of architects…

Jeff was flying in a hot air balloon and realized he was lost. He spotted a man below so lowered the balloon and shouted, “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am? I promised a friend I would be back in a half hour!”

The man below replied, “Yes, you’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above a wheat field at 45 degrees latitude and 123 degrees longitude.”

“You must be an architect,” said Jeff.

“I am,” answered the man. “How did you know?”

“Well,” said Jeff, “Everything you have told me is technically correct, but it’s of no use to anyone.”

The man below said, “You must be a contractor.”

“I am,” replied Jeff, “But how did you know?”

“Well,” said the man, “You are totally lost, have no idea how to proceed, made a promise you cannot keep, but you expect me to be able to help. I answered your question in detail, but you’re still lost, and now it’s my fault!”
