Hi Brad, Hi everyone,

I'm in the US for work for a couple of weeks, but will be in once I'm back.

@Brad Thanks for the PM. Missed to tick the box ;)

Cheers,

Jan

Thanks for the pm Brad, I hadn't ticked the box for replies, I'd love to come along on a Thursday, I might be able to come tomorrow...H

[Nella_84]

I will make it after all. See you in a bit.

[Ninjastar]

Interested in joining in with this in coming weeks.

I'm new to ED so it'd be fab to meet people and play some games

[Bradlington]

Please do! Everybody has been lovely so far.

It'll be The Cherry Tree again Thurs 11th.

The staff seemed genuinely interested in what we were doing!

Thanks for another splendid eve!!

[PSJ]

Cherry tree is a good choice. Good pub food too! I might be able to make it this Thursday.

[Bradlington]

Hope you can! It'd be good to see you again PSJ.

Who's coming this week?

[Nella_84]

Robbie and I will be there.

A few weeks late to the party, but I'd love to join in this week. It looks like I can make it - is it still 8pm?

What have you been doing so far, just bringing along a selection of games each and then voting on which one to play? I've got some standard games like Monopoly, and also have Carcassonne(more complex end of the spectrum) and the Game of life (wonderfully simple & American 60s game) to throw into the mix. I do love a good board game!

[Bradlington]

Hey Lazero,

Yes, do come. 19:45/20:00. If we're playing by just after 20:00, we can usually get two games in.

Please do bring Carcassonne! It made an appearance last week but didn't get played. Although the more complex of the three you mentioned, it still seems very accessible (5 min teach time) and easy to understand (though maybe not to master!).

Cheers

Brad

[katanita]

I'm about 50:50 for tonight, hope to make it but have lots to get done first.

[Bradlington]

I'm only 50/50 I want you there after the whoopings you dealt last time!! 😜

Hope to see you there.

[katanita]

Got back too late, so the next thrashing will have to wait! Can't make the next one but hopefully soon.

[Bradlington]

Shame. We could have used your magic touch. We played Pandemic (with five epidemics) and a l m o s t made it!! We just needed two more turns to win, but ran out of cards...

Any votes for pubs for Thurs?

[Bradlington]

Hey all,

I think we have at least one from Nunhead in for tomorrow, so I'm thinking The Flying Pig (by Goose Green playground).

Who's coming?

Cheers

Brad

[nick86]

Yes! Looking forward to it!

[ThePootles]

Would love to join in- what games are in this week?

-Kim

[Bradlington]

Hey Kim, please do! People just bring a few and we decide what to play when we're there.

Nick see you again tomoz!

Cheers

Brad

[lazylegslopez]

Hey Brad,

I'm heading over with my neighbour. I'll bring Smallworld.

See you at 7:45pm.

Chris

[SimonLynch]

Hi Brad,

Count me in; see you this evening. I'll bring Ticket to Ride.

Simon

[Nella_84]

As anticipated last week, Robbie and I won't make it this time. Looking forward to next time, though!

Nella

[Bradlington]

Wow! Cracking turnout... So we should be six! I have a couple of six player games, then we'll need to split. That does mean you're more likely to play the game you want though. Looking forward to it 😀

See you soon Nella!

[Lazero]

Sadly can't do this week, thanks to work. The next two are also already out, but I'll target 10th March (and then hope to improve my attendance rate). That's certainly no indictment of my first session as I really enjoyed it, despite my losing streak.

I should have reacquired my Colt Express and Camel Up by then.

[WordPlay]

Hello everyone!

This group is fabulous! This is possibly a tenuous link, but we are Zoe & Leon from WordPlay, and we run Radio-Drama-Making-Workshops in East Dulwich and surrounding areas. Our next adult workshop (12th March) is all influenced by board games! I thought this might be just up your street! In groups, we challenge you to script a radio play (inspired by your favourite board game), then you pop into our pop-up radio studio and broadcast your radio play LIVE on air! This will also get recorded for you to listen back on our website. We provide people with DIY sound effects, but also encourage people to make their own.

Our Board Game Edition is being held at The Field - a community run space in New Cross on Saturday 12th March 7pm-9pm:

The Field

385 Queens Road

New Cross

SE14 5HD

I have attached a poster for the event.

If you fancy it, tickets need to be bought in advance - just so that we can keep an eye on numbers.

Entry costs ?5 and you can get your ticket from our website www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/events

or feel free to email us on [email protected] for more info.

Perhaps this might be nice for some of you to come together as a group? (We split groups into 4 people).

BYOB and snacks if you get peckish!

We hope to see (and hear) you there!

All the best,

Zoe & Leon

Whats the plan this week?
