Just a brief catch up post. We had 12 people this week and played Terra Mystica and World Without End together with first plays for Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Machi Koro and Tiny Epic Kingdoms. Sadly this was a last visit for Jaime and Isabel who are moving (maybe have moved by now) down to Dorset. Possibly we will still see them on future Saturday sessions. Read on for a little more detail.

After steadfastly resisting social media all this time, I have created an account on Twitter in the name of the club https://twitter.com/halesowenBG, only 3 tweets so far, although I notice there is a follower. I've also added a widget on the website homepage, although I'll have to tidy that up a bit as it's starting to become a bit cluttered.

13 people playing 4 games in 3 groups. The games being Power Grid, Antike II, Imperial Settlers and Star Realms. The latter 3 each being first plays here, I believe all straight from the previous week's Essen Spiel. Power Grid was played on the France board, leaving just Japan of the official boards still to be played this year.

14 this week, split over 4 tables playing Power Grid, Lords of Waterdeep, Macao, San Juan, Suburbia and Coal Baron (for the first time). Also in that list was a game listed as Santiago, which I have listed as Santiago de Cuba, which has been played a few times recently, but it has occurred to me that it might actually be Santiago which is a game in its own right, perhaps someone could confirm for me which is correct. A little more info on games played follows.
