Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 9^th July 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 Happy Home (rules, review and “How to Play” video).  This is another new game, this time a polyominoes game, with similarities to games like New York Zoo and Bärenpark, but with a theme of home decorating rather than building an animal park.

And speaking of decorating…

Jeff was sick and tired of how people constantly made jokes about him and the fact he was perceived as a bit thick and generally a little bit hopeless. So, he decided to show his wife that he was really smart and could pull his weight, by painting a couple of rooms in the house.

The next day, after his wife had left for work, he got on with the task at hand. Some hours later, when his wife arrived home she could smell the distinctive aroma of paint. She walked into the living room and found Jeff lying on the floor in a pool of sweat, wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat, one over the other.

She went over and asked Jeff if he was OK. Jeff nodded, so his wife asked what he was doing. Jeff replied that he wanted to prove to her that he wasn’t dumb and he wanted to do it by painting the house. Jeff’s wife then asked why he was wearing a ski jacket over his fur coat. Jeff explained that that he had read the directions on the side of the paint can which said, “For best results, put on two coats.”
