Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 19^th August 2025.  As usual, we will start playing shorter games from 7.30pm as people arrive, until 8pm when we will start something a little longer.  Following a recent change of hands, the pub is now doing “basket meals”, so those that will be eating will be arriving from around 6.30pm.

This week, the “Feature Game” will be Critter Kitchen (rules, review and tutorial video).  This is a worker placement and programming game where players take on the role of restaurateurs competing in food challenges, and planning an epic meal to impress a celebrity food critic.

And speaking of restaurants…

Jeff and Joe were having a chat over a pint, when out of the blue, Jeff suddenly said, “I really love meatballs, in fact, I love them so much that I’m planning to open a Swedish restaurant.”

Joe, was a little taken aback, but after a moment or two considering, replied, “I like them too, but it’s a bit of a stretch to open a restaurant to get them.  In any case, where are you going to find a Swedish chef?”

“Oh,” replied Jeff, “My chef won’t actually be Swedish—do you think anyone will notice I’m using an artificial Swedener on my food?”
