Gambling Lambs at GameCity 6!

Night Blooms at GameCity

Hello everybody.

Good news about 2 of your favourite things! Gambling Lambs and GameCity!

As like last year, we two unstoppable forces are joining… forces… again at GameCity6!

That’s right, like GC5, we’re holding a Gambling Lambs Board Game Library right in the middle of it all, in the tent on the Market Square!

We’re going to have a whole host of games for people to play, including the usual suspects that are present at GL plus a whole lot more! We also encourage people to bring along their own games to add to the library as well!

Don’t worry though, as every game we have will be carefully weighed, tagged (non-adhesive) and catelogued and only loaned out in exchange for some form of ID to ensure that you get your game and all it’s glorious pieces back! (Ross and David have ran this Board Games Library 3 times before, and we’ve never lost a single piece, so you can rely on us to take extra special care of your beloved games!).

One thing we’re going to do slightly differently this year is ask if anybody would like to help out? We’re aiming to have a few people on hand that between us all know how to play and explain the majority of the games we have in the library, so that if anybody wants to play anything, we can loan out not just the game, but a helper as well to explain and help set up the game! If you would like to help out, even if it’ll just be for a little while, please email Ross letting him know when you’ll be free to help, leaving a number or an email address to contact you on.

As mentioned, we’ll be in the tent in the Market Square. We’ll be there all day on Thursday (That’s 10am-5pm), and we’ll have a nice shiny board so you will be able to see us!

We’re here on the GameCity schedule, so don’t forget to add it to your intinerary and come along and play!

We hope to see you all there!

Gambling Lambs #26: The One Where We Realised We'd Started To Name Them

Gambling Lambs #2

Hello everyone, this Thursday is Gambling Lambs time! Hooray!

That’s right, we’ll be ringing in September by playing lots of amazing games!

There are a couple of new ones making an appearance this time around, and one of the new ones that I’ll be dying to play is Dixit Odyssey! This is the 3rd instalment of the Dixit series which introduces new cards and a new way to play, and I’m very looking forward to trying it out!

As usual, it’s at Lee Rosy’s Tea this Thursday 1st September and it starts at 18:00 and you can find the Facebook event here.

Hope to see you all there!

Gambling Lambs #23 – The One Where We All [REDACTED]

Train Baron Levi [Jan 1]

So hey guys.

Sorry for the radio silence lately, last month’s Gambling Lambs all went a little bit wrong. Ross was down in London and David was somewhere unbeknownst to man, and the night got a little derailed. Ossian stepped in at the last minute and held a Hidden Gambling Lambs #22 and saved the day, so if you were there (or even if you weren’t), we apologise for the terrible communication and organisation.

However, Gambling Lambs #23 (Taking place on Thursday 2nd June) is going to be great.

We’ve got a bunch of new games to bring with us and play, plus you all get to see everybody again after such a long time!

Some, but not all of this month’s new games list is;

Puerto Rico
Jungle Speed
Bang!
Hive
Back to the Future: The Card Game

So do come along and have some fun!

As always (not counting last week, please forgive us. FORGIVE US!), there is a facebook event here and as always you can follow us on Twitter here.

We can barely wait!

This month’s Gambling Lambs is going to have something slightly different, as well as the date, that is!

We’re really excited about it and we want you to be too, so make sure you come along this Wednesday 5th May.

You don’t want to miss it.
