Gambling Lambs #34: The One Where I Decided To Tell You That I H█▀■■░▄▀┴▬╥▀▀■

Daleks hate pollen.

So in an effort to not suck at posting updates about forthcoming Gambling Lambs, I put a reminder on my phone to post an update 2 weeks before the event. And here we are. 2 weeks before the event.

True story.

The next Gambling Lambs is on Thursday May 3rd. It’s going to be a lovely day with temperatures around early 20s and just a hint of mint in the air. Much like the 1920s.

There will no doubt be lots of lovely games, and I’m sure some new ones to boot, too.

I’m going to try and make sure that ordnungswissenschaft is there again as it was sorely missed (mostly by me) at the last GL.

Looking forward to seeing you all again soon and playing lots of fun games with you!

Gambling Lambs #33: The OTHER Other One We Forgot

So basically we’re terrible people.

Neither me or David remembered to put up an event listing for April’s Gambling Lambs, and it WASN’T EVEN AN APRIL FOOLS.

We love you really. We do.

Come along NOW as GL33 is currently HAPPENING.

I would love to see you. We have Star Trek and Movie Trivia games. KICKING IT OLDSCHOOL.

Gambling Lambs #32: The One With All the Boxes

Thursday March 1st is the next Gambling Lambs. Cries of happiness are heard around the globe.

We hope your night of unadulterated fun last month when myself and David were out of the picture wasn’t TOO exciting, prompting you to start a mutiny, but we also hope you did have a good time!

David and I were at the Wild Rumpus and David’s Bit of Alright game conference on the Thursday/Friday of last week, and whilst there, there were a lot of games that we saw that were really great, and one of these that David has been talking about before is called Ordnungswissenschaft, which involves wearing a lab coat and playing with boxes. It is a lot of fun, and we will be running it during the March GL!

There’ll no doubt be other great new games there, but that’s the stand-out one that I thought to mention. Also it served as the best game to give me an idea for #32′s name.

David will sort out a facebook event and place the link here, I’m sure!

See you in March!

Gambling Lambs #31: The One With the Tumbleweeds

Maybe Watching the Rain

(Edit: Unbeknownst to Ross, Ossian and maybe Tom Rosin have agreed to be nominally in charge for the night. Inasmuch as anyone is ever in charge of Gambling Lambs, that is).

Hey guys!

Thursday 2nd February is the next Gambling Lambs!

At this month’s spectacular, your regular hosts (David & Ross) will be absent! So it’s going to be just like one of those lessons in school where you were meant to have a supply teacher, but they never turned up, so you spent the whole class playing cards or generally just being stupid. There were no mobile phones back then, so you couldn’t just sit for an hour and play on your smartphone either. You had to MAKE fun. It was lovely. Do that. Make fun. (just not of each other)

I do hope you all have fun and don’t get up to too much mischief whilst we’re away!

You’ll all see each other in a week, but me and David will see you in March!

As usual, you can find the event on Facebook. Well, when David puts it up there, anyway. Edit: LINK!

Gambling Lambs #30 – The one wh… whisper mumble mumble

You may have heard rumours of Gambling Lambs changing date. They’re technically not even rumours, because you probably heard them directly from me and Ross. They might be substantiated soon, but not for now.

The next one will be on Thursday, January the 5th, meaning you’ll have over four days to shrug off your new year hangover and get down to Lee Rosy’s.

Among the games there will be Lifeboat (http://siadek.com/lifeboat.html), and Deadwood (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/96713/deadwood). Feel better about your goody two shoes resolutions, by playing games about being a very, very bad person.

You can find these events on Google+ or Facebook!

So, we’ll see you on Thursday 5th January 2011 from 6pm to 10pm!
