I’ve run dry of funny things to say, possibly because I’ve been in Edinburgh watching comedy for 5 days straight, and it’s 3 a.m. and I’m waiting for all the caffeine to wear off so I can go to bed. Anyway.
Gambling Lambs #14 is almost upon us; here’s the event page on Facebook.

It’s our birthday! On Thursday August the 5th. There will be cake. Find the Facebook event here.
This month, I am interested in Waldschattenspiel, a boardgame to be played in the dark that centres on the light of a single candle. Gnomes must hide in the shadows and move between them. The light player closes their eyes while everyone else moves, and on their turn they get to move the candle, freezing any gnomes it reveals.

The next Gambling Lambs is on Thursday the 3rd of June. As ever, you can find it on facebook here, and join the group here.
This month, boardgame cover art has us all riled up. Cover art in boardgames seems to be like sound design for videogames: mostly neglected, underestimated, and given a tiny fraction of the budget it deserves, and with occasional good examples that really stand out. Too ..read more
May’s Gambling Lambs got torpedoed by the General Election, and will now go ahead on Wednesday the 5th of May. Sign up to the event on Facebook here, the group here, and get regular updates or chat with us on Twitter.

This Thursday! It’s Gambling Lambs number 8. Infinite City was a hit last time, and will be there again. Maybe some new games too, but we never know. It’ll be at Lee Rosy’s Tea, on Broad Street, Nottingham, from 18:00. Come down. Find the details on Facebook, and hit us up there too.

Thanks to everyone who came along last Thursday, it was great to see you all!
Firstly, apologies that we didn’t manage to get a game of Werewolves in at the end of the night. It seems as though certain games take a lot longer to play than we thought! We’ll have to think of ways to speed them up a bit! We’ll just have to have an even bigger and better game of Werewolves next month instead to make up for it.

Snow has broken the world! Ish.
So, if you can’t make it tomorrow, we’ll understand. Ish.
Some of you might be worried about buses stopping tomorrow night, etc. Some of us will definitely be there with games, and we hope you can make it.
According to metcheck right now, it’s not going to snow any more until late on Friday: http://metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp?zipcode=ng1
Most buses are running at least diverted services from town. If you want service information, ..read more

We’re back, with a vengeance, this month, and as it’s December, we’re hoping to throw in a couple of festive treats within our games to get you in in the Christmas spirit.
So come along, bring some cheer and wear your favourite Santa hat!
See you on Thursday!

There will be a Gambling Lambs at GameCity. There was a bit of shuffling, a bit of umming, but we’ve now settled on a time and we’ll be doing a one off morning Gambling Lambs on Thursday the 29th of October, 10:00 – 13:00 at Lee Rosy’s.
