Bradlington Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hello all,I like playing board games. My friends and family, not so much! So I started this thread to see if a few people would be interested in meeting up and playing some games. I expected tumbleweed and even a little mocking... The response has been amazing! So much so, I think there are enough people interested to do this weekly. I'm not expecting people to come every week (myself included)! But there's enough interest to have people come on weeks they can or just want to and there still be a group to play with. So every Thurs in The FC Wellbeing Cafe28 Grove Vale (though the cafe is down the side of the building, 10/20m down Melbourne Grove)19:45 to be playing by 20:00. Happy gaming!

soyamocha3 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Had you closed with Brad Pitt and not just Brad I suspect there might have been a few takers lol xx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-945458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradlington Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Splendid idea! xxI'm hoping people might be interested in light-hearted meeting and socialising, but without the inevitable "what do you do?" and "house prices" conversations 😀 (no guarantees it won't happen anyway... Have you seen the house prices..?!)Signed the 100% real and utterly genuine when-I'm-not-filming-I-like-playing-Ticket-To-Ride-in-an-ED-pubBrad Pitt Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-945472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleats Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sounds like fun. I have been banned from risk and I love the really nasty horse racing game. Do let me know if there is other interest as I would be keen.Nicola Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-946316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradlington Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Ooh, is that the one where you can drug the horses?! Couldn't think of the name, but that's definitely on my Love To Try list.

Jan23 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi Brad,We just moved to ED and had a blast playing Munchkin ( )the other night. Would be fun to get a few more Munchkins involved.Cheers,Jan Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-947204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I like the sound of this. Was thinking of posting just such an idea! Currently playing some old school Scattergories, Uno and Rummikub...Christmas doesn't end, it just gets less chocolatey.

Bradlington Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hey All,What a splendid response. I honestly expected tumbleweed! Certainly enough for a little get together. Does everybody want to meet up?Tues, Thurs, or Fri evenings are usually best for me...Munchkins looks fantastic. Never even heard of it before. It's about bang on my level of Geek. Not too long or complicated, a smattering of Geek, and a good social/co-op/back-stabbing element. Happy to try that.

katanita Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I have Pandemic, and a fair few others (well, more card than board games, Inc Hanabi, love letter, Kakerlaken poker, cards against humanity, though the latter might not be for a first meetup!). Love a good board game so would be up for meeting and playing but this week is no good.

Bradlington Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Fabulous. Since coming out on here as a board game fan, I've been brave enough to speak to people about it in actual, real life - and found two who are interested as well. And somebody has DM'd me about it... So potentially three to six of us! Tues 26th or Thurs 28 good for you guys? 20:00?If you're free on both, please do say, as I can then offer both to the people not on The Forum and the DM'er.CheersBrad Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-950013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommyf Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi there, would love to do this, any games that aren't too complicated (operation) so will keep an eye out going forward.You're gonna need a bigger pub Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-954309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradlington Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hey All,That was really good fun. Thanks for coming! And for being interested in making it a regular thing. Chuffed to bits to meet you guys. Some fabulous games made an appearance that I can't wait to try. Let's make it a weekly thing. We'll try Thurs evenings for a while, simply as there was more interest in that evening... Apologies Katanita! It has nothing at all to do with the fact that you came first and then second in the two games we played and are clearly a serious threat/contender/nemesis!! 😇So Thurs 4th 19:45/20:00The Cherry Tree, Grove Vale(Trying to think of pubs, that we'll be able to get a couple of tables in on a Thurs night...)CheersBrad Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-954847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradlington Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Who's in?Had one PM confirming (Though my preference would be for people just to post to The Forum about this thread, please - it's easier to manage and can virtually self-govern/organise without me needing to juggle lots of replies and report back.)

Nella_84 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think that I should be able to make it, but I'll confirm 100% on Wednesday (I need to see if a few things line up nicely). I know that Robbie has a work thing that night so he won't be coming. See you on Thursday!Nella Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/89029-want-to-meet-a-group-playing-board-games-every-thursday-1945-in-the-fc-wellbeing-cafe/#findComment-956090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
