Hey everybody,


I'll be bringing Roll for the Galaxy along again. I'll then switch focus to a different game for a few weeks. Then another, etc.


I have a much friendlier introduction to the game:




Rahdo is great for getting a feel for games and most of the rules. He often gets the minor rules details wrong! (He corrects them in the description). But definitely good enough to sit and play.


Cheers

Who's around this week?


To state the obvious:

You don't HAVE to play th 'in focus' game. There will be loads of choice! Easy to pick up and play stuff too. The 'focus' game might not even make the table, depending on what people want to play. I just thought it would be a good idea to see the same game appear amongst it all for a few weeks at a time. Give everybody a chance to play it and re-play it if they want.

Looking like five of us this eve... Maybe not enough for Captain Sonar. Might be perfect for Scythe though, if you're up for the gargantuan task of teaching it..?!! It is a bit of a monster.

Ah shucks. Apparently it plays well with 6 so I'll bring it along in the off chance someone else turns up.


I'll bring Scythe. Like most worker placement games, it's just a matter of working through a few rounds having no idea what you are doing and gradually grokking it. I've only soloed it so far, but should be able to explain it all the same. See you about 8.30.

Hey All,


My In Focus game for the next few weeks will be Quantum. Teachable on th night. No need to watch any videos.


As always, it may or may not make the table - there will be plenty of choice.



Cheers

Brad

    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.   
    • St Christopher's only take books in perfect condition. 
    • This is where I sit too. A two day event is bearable. Three tests my tolerance. Finding the right balance on size, noise and impact is where I contribute to the consultation process. BUT, as I wrote elsewhere, every year the GALA organisers ask/ push for more, and deals have already been done with the council before it gets to public consultation stage. It is also worth pointing out that when a licence was first granted, the orgnaisation was different (We Are the Fair), one of the company directors lived literally next to the park (she left when it became GALA) and the current form bears no resemblance to original ethos/ vision sold to the council and licensing committee. This needs to be pointed out and I am fairly confident local councillors would also support a pushback on any further expansion. We have local elections next year, so councillors ears will be open.
