Gambling Lambs #46: The One That Precedes The Next One

solo, hard, summer - 14VP 死ぬのが怖くて体力温存してたら1人しか8000mまでしか上がれなかった。カードと天候のパターンをまず覚えないとなぁ。#boardgames #k2

Happy June everybody!

We don’t quite know what has happened to the Sun since yesterday, but we gosh darn do know what’s happening tonight! That’s right! It’s Gambling Lambs time! (insert adventure time style title card in your imaginations)

Join us tonight for board games galore! Eat cake! Drink tea! Make friends!

I missed the GL last month, so I’m not sure what new games there are. If David sees this post in time before the event tonight, he might be able to update us all with this info, but if not, let’s just imagine that there are thousands of new games there, eh? We can blame him later if there aren’t.

See you all there! As usual, Lee Rosy’s from 18:00 – 22:00!

Gambling Lambs #45: The One With Gentlemen Thieves

Not real ones! Neither thieves that steal gentlemen, nor thieves that happen to be gentlemen, but the game themed on characters like Arsène Lupin and Raffles. Though regarding the latter, it doesn’t involve bloodlust or bashing your own head in to fool the police. Just bluffing and tricking the other players.

If it arrives in time, we’ll also have Skull & Roses, which is an excellently simple bluffing game in which you can all really mess with each other. Two points to win sounds almost as simple as the game is to explain, but it really isn’t.

We also have 2 new games fresh from the Orc’s Nest (a wonderful little board games/comic shop in the heart of London). Joining our game selection is 7 Wonders and Village.

So: four new games, tea, bluffing, and not murder. Downstairs at Lee Rosy’s, Broad Street, Nottingham, from 18:00 on Thursday the 2nd of May. If you happen to like Facebook, there’s an event page here.

Gambling Lambs #43: The One With The Secret Word

March.

Smarch.

Marchtember.

Whatever you like to call it, the month in question is here. It’s here. Right now.

We’re marking in the month with a March themed Gambling Lambs on Thursday 7th (surprisingly).

There’ll be games, and people, and cake, and tea, and there’ll also be a secret word that if you can guess, you will win a box of Maltesers. Seriously. (I basically couldn’t come up with a name for this month, so I used a gimmick).

We look forward to seeing you all there and stuff.

Gambling Lambs #42: The One Without The Obvious Reference… … DAMNIT

42, eh? If only 42 were a significant number, I could make something of it. Maybe if I were better prepared, but there’s no time for deep thought today, and it’s hardly the end of the universe.

Speaking of which, we tried Cosmic Encounter last month, and it’s possibly a bit meaty and long for Gambling Lambs, but it’ll be there if you want to try it. Depending on the mix of alien races you get, it may also BREAK YOUR MIND. After my first and second games of it, I felt like having a lie down.

As well as that, there will be some more wholly remarkable games there. Join us at Lee Rosy’s from 18:00, this Thursday the 7th of February.

Gambling Lambs #41: The One With No Name

Thursday 3rd January is the first Gambling Lambs of 2013! Woo!

We’ll hopefully have a few new games that people got over the Christmas period, which will be smashing.

I know there’s a new pen and paper game called Town and Country which is a blast, so I’m sure we’ll play that!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
