Yeah, we haven't been great at posting every Thursday, so I'm giving up!
Gaming has gone ahead with or without posts here, so just assume someone will be there -- unless there's some indication otherwise here.
So, there will be gaming tonight. And there will be gaming on future Thursdays. Come along!

There's no football on TV tonight
There's no football on TV tonight.
I'm thinking of going to the pub to play board games. How about you?

Several Good Games v The Beautiful Game - BoardSilly on Thursday 19th June?
BoardSilly Games Club are due to meet on Thursday 19th June at 8:00.
Coincidentally, England play Uruguay in the World Cup in a "must win" game kicking off at 8:00.
As a result I won't be there. I could come down & watch in the pub but I would be lousy company while the football is on, and nobody there has seen me in tears since I arrived late and was offered, "Terra Mystica or Caylus?"
Other players may be missing due to the football. It may be worth staging your intention to attend (or not) in reply to this post.
I may be at a gig next Thursday, so I may not see you for two weeks or more. Perhaps the pain of the Italy game will have dulled enough for me to play G***y To R**e.

BoardSilly Drinks Policy - Buy A Drink While Playing Games
New drinks policy for players while at BoardSilly Games Club:
"Buy a drink & have it in front of you while you're playing games at the pub."
Sorry to have to spell this out but the owners were in the pub last night & spotted the three players at one of the tables sitting with two empty glasses. They're paying the bills & it looked like we weren't doing our bit & buying drinks. They had a word with the barmaid and she had a word with one of us.
Even if you just buy a pint of orange squash & nurse it all evening, at least you've got a drink if anyone comes round checking what we're doing.
I know that people:
I understand all this and I am not looking to make anyone feel unwelcome to come to the games club.
We will:
What I don't want to do is annoy the owners of the pub where go every week. The club has tried using other pubs in the town as a venue but the Newbold Comyn Arms fits the bill better than most and have always welcomed us and treated us well. I don't want the hassle of finding another venue, and wherever we go will expect us to buy a drink while we're in playing games.
Cheers,
John E

I know that people:
- get involved with their games and don't think of leaving it to buy a drink.
- don't want to drink a lot.
- just want to buy their own drink, not buy a big round for everyone at the table.
- don't want to miss what is going on in the game.
I understand all this and I am not looking to make anyone feel unwelcome to come to the games club.
We will:
- accommodate comfort breaks to buy a drink & use the facilities.
- wait patiently for people to return to the table.
- give you a recap of what you missed while away from the games table.

Play board games in Leamington Spa tonight - Thursday 6th March
BoardSilly board games club meet tonight from 8pm at the Newbold Comyn Arms in Leamington Spa.
I will probably attend and bring a big bag of games, including 7 Wonders & Love Letter.
Gary may bring Caverna but after last week's epic first run through I'll give it a miss for a few weeks. It may be better played at a weekend or those interested can arrange an earlier start one Thursday.
If anyone has Kingsburg or Dominion I would play those games again.
