Brighton Boardgame Evening
posted January 8, 2017 2:54 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Tue February 7 at 6:00 PM, Alcampo Lounge
86 London Rd, Brighton BN1 4JF, UK (Map & Directions)
An evening of post-work boardgames, chat, and drinks.
Date: 7th Feb is the preliminary date, but can reschedule if it means more people can make it. I can't do Thursdays, and Fridays are probably too busy so it's likely to be Mon-Weds.
Time: 6pm again if that's OK - but just turn up whenever you can if you can't make it that early.
Venue: Alcampo's seemed to work well last time, especially since we nabbed the sofas. Not too noisy or crowded, and decent food and drink.
Games: Generally fairly light-weight cardgames. Last time we played Love Letter and Funemployed. I also got Coup for Christmas (like a slightly more complex Love Letter). Of course everyone is welcome to bring anything else they want to play.

Totally up for this, of course! :)
I'm completely open right now, though I have a preference for avoiding Friday simply so it will be quieter.

Yeah that's a good point, and I assume people will be more likely to have other plans on Fridays anyway.

Shall we say a preliminary date of Tuesday the 31st Jan?

Curses, I just booked something on the 31st before I saw this. I will keep a beady eye out for future/any date changes.

We could push it back a week to the 7th Feb? How does that suit everyone?

7th fine! (I got an email for this! I'm pretty sure I DIDNT get one for 31st. Oh, tho I was probably still set to "maybe" then.)

I just ordered the premium version of Love Letter (a 2-year-old got hold of my existing copy) which means we can have more than 4 players.

Apologies, all. I am coming down with something and would like to not be the start of The Great Brighton Metafilter Plague.
Also, I have a really annoying dry cough and you may all want to strangle me if you have to listen to it for the duration.
