Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 22nd September 2026 at the Horse and Jockey Pub. 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, so those that are eating will be arriving from around 6.45pm.
This week, the “Feature Game” will be the Forbidden Jungle, a cooperative game in the vein of Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert and Forbidden Sky (rules, review, instructional video). In all these, players wor together as a team to try to escape the perils of the surounding they are stuck in, in this case a jungle inhabited by alien spiders.

And speaking of jungles…
Jeff was out exploring the jungle when he saw a leopard stalking a monkey intent on making a meal of him. When the monkey caught a glimpse of the leopard out of the corner of his eye he realised he wasn’t going to win a footrace, so decided to use cunning. The monkey sat down next to a pile of bones and once the leopard was in earshot, he sighed contentedly and said to himself, “My, that was one tasty leopard.”
Not being of the brightest variety, the leopard immediately high-tails it out of the area.
Jeff had been watching, and deciding this wasn’t right, he told the leapard that there was no way that little monkey could have eaten an entire leopard. Realising he’d made a fool of himself, the leopard vowed revenge, and told Jeff to climb on his back to come watch.
A few minutes later, the monkey saw them approaching. As they get closer, the monkey tapped his foot in apparent irritation and mutters to himself, “Where’s that weasly little Jeff bloke? I sent him off half an hour ago to fetch me another leopard!”
