Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 7^th April 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 Igel Ärgern, which roughly translates as “harassing hedgehogs” (rules; video review and tutorial).  It is an older racing game in which, similar to Turf Horse Racing, players move any pieces, though rather than betting on the winner, players use other players’ prickly critters to obstruct, annoy, and generally harass their opposition.
