Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 15^th October 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 Castle Combo (rules, review, how to play video), which is a tableau-building game where players draft cards from two markets creating a three-by-three square of people interacting with each other to trigger instant effects and end-of-game bonuses.  The game was released to coincide with Essen, but like many of the most popular games was sold out within a couple of hours.

Sir Jeff looked slightly crest-fallen as he replied, “Well, you do now your Majesty…”
