Monday Board Games at The Plough
Our smaller group playing light to medium weight modern board games. Bring your own games if possible but some games will be there.
Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games.
Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it.
We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different.
Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before.
Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part!
Who knew getting fit could be this fun?
**HOW TO BOOK**:
**It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below**; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

Blood on the Clocktower @OtterChaos
Join OverBoard to play the brilliant social deduction game Blood on the Clocktower in person at the brand new board game cafe Otter Chaos in Brixton.
If you haven’t heard of Blood on the Clocktower before it is an evolution of classic party games like Mafia/Werewolf where a hidden evil team takes on the good team by lying and killing. The good team has a few tricks up their sleeve but will have to work together to deduce who the evil doers are in their midst.
**This is a beginner friendly event so no experience with the game is necessary.**
Please note that a gaming cover charge of \~£5 will be payable by each attendee to the venue so that we can make use of the space. We also encourage you to buy food and drink from the bar so we are supporting the business (I can highly recommend their pizzas!)
If you want to know more about the rules of the game check out this video:

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)
Equipped with one of the best names (and [posters](https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMDU2/z/cgcAAOSwcgdfdlxO/$_57.JPG?set_id=8800005007)) in movie history, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is arguably\* Russ Meyer's peak, a dynamic, rapid-fire blend of fast cars, violent women and omnipresent sexual tension. There isn't a dull second in its 83-minute run time and it's packed to the brim with terrific one-liners courtesy of screenwriter and ex-child star Jack Moran. The three main actresses had all been actual go-go dancers and Tura Satana was a genuine badass in real life, to the point where she ended up plotting out the fight scenes herself.
So, what's the plot? Three go-go dancers are racing across the desert when they come across an innocent young couple, which is basically a rag to a bull for the women's leader, Varla. But that turns out to be just the prelude for them running into a disabled (but rich) old guy and his two sons, who they decide to target in the hope they can be separated from their money. That's when things really start sliding out of control.
Check out the trailer for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNABS8_aNlE
This is a Bar Trash night at the Genesis, which means it comes with a detailed intro, a quiz and spot prizes, and drinking encouraged (but obviously not mandatory). Cheap tickets too, only £5 including booking fee. Available [here](https://genesis.admit-one.co.uk/tickets/?perfCode=10369). Or, if you want, you can go highbrow and go to one of the BFI screenings this month. But you should come to this!
\*It's either this or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, which is also superb.
Balham Board Games special: Blood On The Clock Tower
Blood On The Clocktower is a highly interactive, spooky themed, social deduction game. Take a look here for more details: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/240980
We've gained an extra room for this event so that we can play without disturbing anyone wanting to play table-top games. If you'd like to join then sign up here and we can get an idea of numbers. There will be a few tables at the end of the room for any overflow of the table-top gamers.
We'll be starting promptly at 6.15pm in the Cocktail bar. Please be there in good time with any refreshments and food orders ready.
We might have time for more than one game, but the normal meetup will be happening next door if people would like a bit of both worlds.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing some new faces! Happy days!

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
