9th Official Meet n Greet (Officially a Temporary Unofficial Event Name)

## 🎲📜 BOARD GAME NIGHT IX – Half a Table, Twice the Chaos 🐐🍇

When Strategy Took the Night Off
(aka: That Time Jason’s Brother Carried the Entire Player Count)

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Four nerds in a pub,
Plotting their wonders and follies.
No plan in their head,
Just guessing instead,
And trading their goals just for jollies.

They drafted with flair,
And blank, vacant stares,
While faking some fierce self-reliance.
One built a big wall,
One built nothing at all,
And one swore their cards formed an alliance.

They built with a shrug,
Then scored while they chugged,
Then claimed it was planned allegory.
With blue cards ignored,
And science abhorred,
They toasted their halfway to glory.

***

🧩 The Board is Reset… Again

Where wonders are few and chaos breaks through.
We cry, we collapse, then reload the maps.
We bluff and we boast, then misplay the most.
We summon the dice and ignore good advice.
We laugh 'til we're sore, then come back for more.
So come claim your seat, where meeples compete.

🎉 New Players Welcome - Rules will be taught with 87% clarity and 13% sibling rivalry.
(If you lose to Jason’s brother, it’s basically a family thing. Don’t take it personally.)
🎮 Got a Favourite Game? - Bring it — we’ll pretend we understand the rules.
🎭 Dress Code - Strategic Indifference. Bonus points for:
• Sweaters of academic regret
• Camel Union merch
• “First day of school” energy
📚 Seasonal Side Note - September is for fresh starts, bad strategies, and overestimating how well we remember the rules.
⚠️ Warning - May trigger The Jeffening. We are not responsible for what follows.
🍇 Etiquette Reminder - Sharing is caring — unless it’s resources. Then hoard them shamelessly.
📜 Fun Fact - In 7 out of 10 games, victory was claimed by someone who had no idea how they won.
🧂 Table Talk - Silence is suspicious. Accuse accordingly.

📜 Since Our Last Meetup...

🐫 The Camel Union issued a statement reading: “We’re not saying we sabotaged attendance, but we’re also not NOT saying that.”
👻 Jeff’s Score Record was submitted to Ripley’s Believe It or Not. They responded: “We don’t.”
🎒 Jason’s visiting brother joined the game. Immediately raised concerns about a leadership coup.
🐪 Kyle Remains Missing. Some say if there are no camels, he simply won’t show. Others believe he is the camel now.
🌀 The Oracle Speaks: The Oracle senses a shift in the winds of academia: “The students have begun to question. Their majors. Their debt. Their fate.” She now recommends dice over essays — the odds are better.
