Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 16th September 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. The pub is now doing food again, so those that will be eating will be arriving from around 6.30pm.
This week, the “Feature Game” will be First Empires (rules, review and instructional video). This is a dice-driven, area movement and control game that we played a few weeks ago and found we really enjoyed.

And speaking of empires…
Jeff was visiting the bar at the top of the Empire State Building. He was standing at the bar when a guy in a suit approached him and said, “Did you know that one of the reasons this building has such interesting design is that they made it so that when people jump out of the window, the wind stops them from falling too fast and they just float to the ground, unhurt?”
Jeff was astonished, “No way,” he said, “Prove it!”
So, the man in the suit climbed onto the window sill and jumped out the window. A few minutes later the lift arrived and out he walked.
“See! It works!” the man in the suit said. Jeff was really impressed and before anyone could stop him, he jumped onto the window sill and lept out of the window and, after what seemed like an age to him as he accellerated rapidly, landed with a jolt in an anti-suicide net.
Back in the bar, the bartender sighed, “Superman, you really can be an idiot when you’ve been drinking!”
