BoardSilly Tonight - Thursday 24th May 2018

BoardSilly Games Club meet tonight at the Newbold Comyn Arms from 8:00.

We have a visitor from a board games Facebook group tonight so be on your best behaviour :P

Come along and have fun playing board games, card games, dice games and (occasionally) dexterity / skill based games, from a selection owned by the club or brought to the pub by you and other people who turn up.

We usually play "Euro games" that don't have player elimination as a game mechanism, so all players  are involved throughout, and you aren't twiddling your thumbs waiting for everyone else to finish.

We welcome new people who would like to play games and we explain how each game works for those who have not played before or not played recently and want a rules refresher. 

Bring some games (optional), money for drinks and 50p subs (unless it's your first visit).

See you later,

Gary
