Garforth Tabletop Gamers

It's a glorious sunny day. Perfect weather for going for a hike, visiting gardens, or just chilling outside with a few beers.

So of course I spent all day inside playing boardgames. :)

Today was my first visit to Garforth Tabletop Gamers, having found out about it from the nice people at Beyond Monopoly in York. Had a fantastic time there, everyone was really welcoming and despite having a smaller collection than Beyond Monopoly I still got to play a great range of games:
  • Hey! That's my Fish - quick and silly, but surprisingly devious. :)
  • Smallworld - The hot game of the moment, but deservedly so!
  • Pitchcar - A really fun action game to play whilst waiting for a another to start.
  • Manhattan - Skyscraper building game that gets very evil with everyone jostling for space.
  • Tsuro - A beautifully elegant game, so simple but fun to play. Quick too (~15mins).
  • Mississippi Queen -Loved the mechanics in this one, having to juggle speed and maneuverability was really tricky but rewarding.
As an added bonus they were celebrating their first aniversary. It doesn't get much better than gaming AND cake! I'm definately looking forward to frequenting GTG in the future and for anyone with any interest in gaming at all I can't recommend these two clubs enough!
