Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 11^th June 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 Courtisans (review, rules, “How to Play” video).  This is a tableau-building and set-collecting game where players are attending the Queen’s banquet and trying to raise the status of their family.

And speaking of courtesans…

Jeff was vising a “lady of the night”. As he sat on the bed, he realised he only had £5 on him, so he asked the lady, “What will £5 get me?”

“Well, let’s see… I suppose I can give you a penguin job?” she replied.  Jeff was delightedly agreed and the call girl unzipped his trousers went to work.

“Oh wow, this is fantastic!” breathed Jeff, clearly enjoying himself.  Before long, as the end was approaching the courtesan suddenly stopped, got to her feet, and walked towards the door.

“Wait, wait, wait! Where are you going?” asked Jeff, and trousers still around his ankles, he waddled after the lady as fast as he could.

“Well, that’s a penguin job, and that’s why it’s worth £5!” she said, with a laugh.
