Social Afternoon with Games - 22nd February 2011

The best way of promoting a games event is word of mouth

With half term upon us, it was time to break out the games and invite the parish of St Mary's, Crowborough and the surrounding Deanery along for another afternoon of fun and games. This occasion saw 15 joining us with 4 new faces and apologies from a further 5.

In many senses I think this may have been the most enjoyable one yet with people moving between groups when the games came to an end and a

Another good turn out saw the return of Matt, plus Daniella, Crispin, Malcolm, Alex and Ian.

The further you go the more treasure you find but you only get to keep it if the monsters in the temple don’t scare you and send you fleeing from the temple dropping all your loot as you seek to escape. This was played by two different groups, during the afternoon and one was a very noisy affair, in part because all the adventurers except Jennie had fled the temple. This left Jennie to continue exploring on her own with the potential of gaining lots of treasure all for herself. As she pushed on she found a vast wealth of precious gems that would have ensured she won the whole game. However sadly for Jennie she
