Tuesday 9th July

I'd like to play Gugong, an Expo purchase; from the Geek:

Players take on the role of powerful Chinese families trying to gain influence and power by exchanging gifts with Officials. The gift cards you offer as a player have to be of a higher value than the one you receive, forcing you to make strategic choices regarding which actions you want to take each turn.

To paraphrase SUSU: "...if this looks like your kind of game then it REALLY IS your kind of game."

Aiming to give it a whirl with 4:

1. Karl
2. Tom C
3. Rik
4. Evan

8pm start with a game of something (Azul?) beforehand.

I'd like to give that a go, Karl - but can't get to the club until around 8pm. If you are looking at starting earlier I will only be a little bit offended if you cast me aside!

Can't make it next week, I'll be in Leeds getting deafened!

8pm start is fine by me.

Anyone for Azul/Welcome To... beforehand?

Sorry Karl - my wife reminded me last night that it's my son's birthday tomorrow and therefore going to the pub would be frowned upon. Count me out.

Oh, in that case, could I sneak into the spot vacated by Paul?

I'll be arriving late as well, probably 7.30ish, so that would work out great for me. I did like the look of this game from SUSDs review.

Tom, you're in.

I'll be down, nothing planned, anyone got anything specific they went to play?

I think myself and Jacob are going to play Diamant first which is a quick push-your-luck game about collecting gems from a cave. Should take about 30 minutes and takes up to 8 players if anyone wants to join us.

I'll be heading down tonight. Will bring a few games like starship samurai, unfair, dice forge and more
