With Blue and Pink otherwise engaged, the early arrivals were left to talk amongst themselves to begin with. Eventually, everyone joined the table talk and admired the new, very yellow arrival that was the Oceana Expansion for Wingspan. Sadly it will likely be a while before it gets an outing with the group, but it […]
Blue had been up really early so took a nap after supper. Far from leaving her refreshed though, she woke cold and disorientated, and was a bit dopey for the rest of the evening as a result. She wasn’t the only one it seemed, as others struggled too and some didn’t make it at all: […]
The evening began slowly, with people signing in and confirming they had their parcels and had not yet opened them. There was a bit of chatter about isolating, and about Green and Lilac’s new house (which had very similar decor to the previous one). Pink had acquired yet another Panda and proudly had it on […]
This week it was Ivory’s turn to share his pizza with everyone, while Blue and Pink shared ice creams with Purple and Black. With the food over, Blue explained how we were going to prepare for our birthday next time, by “wrapping parcels” for Crappy Birthday. This is a silly party game that we play […]
Green and Lilac were first to roll up, with pizzas and a large basket full of wild mushrooms. While they finished their supper, everyone else rolled in and joined the largely aimless chit-chat before Blue started to explain the rules for the “Feature Game“, Patchwork Doodle. This is another “Roll and Write” style game in […]
This week, the evening started with Purple and the “Silent Black” sharing their ice creams, and, as people started joining the meeting, they began preparing for the evening’s “Feature Game“. This was to be ClipCut Parks. This is a variant on the the recent “Roll and Write” style games that have been so successful when […]
The evening started with a bit of chit-chat about happenings in the village and the big hole in the A417 which had a large number of Thames Water employees staring into it and had closed the road to Wantage. Since nobody is travelling very far to games night these days, nobody was inconvenienced. Every cloud… […]
Blue and Burgundy got going early to set up the game on Tabletop Simulator, but were progressively joined by Pink, Black and Purple and eventually, everyone else. Mulberry dropped in to say “Hi!” but was suffering from her recent change in time-zone, so soon waved goodbye. There was a bit of chit-chat about people returning […]
The evening started with everyone eating their supper and chatting about where they had been out. Pine admired Green and Lilac’s pizzas and Blue and Pink told everyone about their visits to The Jockey beer garden. Pine shared his experience visiting the café at the Court Hill Centre on The Ridgeway, and there was a […]
The evening started with a round of “Swap Shop” as Lime tried to get rid of a couple of aquarium snails that were surplus to requirements (the other occupants of the tank having recently expired), and Purple offering a size ten frock. Once the snails had been re-homed with Magenta in Wantage, we’d discussed the […]
