First time visit from Drew including a version of Six Degrees of John McCallion (former games and puzzles Editor for Games Magazine). John gave his game collection to Drew before returning to Ireland. John’s wife, Robin King, went to grade school in Queens, NY with K-ban’s brother. Robin was close friends with Vicki Scher….who married Marty Goldberger from my LI Game Group…..who recruited Steve Adragna.
An article on Robin King’s untimely passing – www.gamepuzzles.com/gamesmem.htm I used to playtest for John’s predecessor, Burt Hochberg .
And last but not least Drew Davidson’s articles on same on BGG

Josh & Rachel were visiting and stayed for Codenames rather than breaking up the group into two tables.
Another lively session of getting all acclimated to the group dynamics and personalities.

Thanks Sean for bringing and leading Stolen Paintings, a 2020 Bruno Faidutti design from Gryphon Games. For more click on www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/294232/stolen-paintings

First time for all but K-ban & Sandy playing David Parlett’s classic ‘Take It Easy’ (formerly Hextension published by Spear’s) – a great puzzle game. We expanded a 6-player set to accomodate 7 by using the Ravensburger iPhone app to call the tiles and allow K-ban to play along. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/128/take-it-easy

Kindly join us on Wednesdays from 6-10 PM at Purple Dragon Games in Williamstown
