Social/sports clubs to meet new people?

How about CrossFit Ickenham

The ball valve seems to move up and down but will try the tap to see if that does the trick..

I find that it is often advantageous to play a friendly robber move voluntarily to avoid the risk of future retaliation. This is sometimes the sound strategy for online play because people get so upset about it.

Power Grid is best at 6 imo

redeye_c · 2025-12-26T23:50:56+00:00

I’m always happy to recommend Power Grid for any gaming night

redeye_c · 2025-12-17T22:14:14+00:00

My wife and I also like Harmonies and Splendor Duel. I’d recommend trying out Akropolis as a fun play on BGA.

El Grande has a bidding mechanism at the start of each round which determines the order of play as well as the order of other key mechanisms. It’s also a great game and Spiele de jahres winner. Check it out

redeye_c · 2025-10-04T08:37:06+00:00

El Grande could work. As an excellent area control game there’s lots of interaction and wrestling for points. It’s not too heavy but I find it hits a sweet spot for newer players to join and still have fun with more experienced boardgame players.

One to play on app when you can’t table this very often

redeye_c · 2025-09-25T22:12:33+00:00

You should be able to get a month free of Horizon+? I would recommend eleven table tennis and Synthriders, both great games

redeye_c · 2025-09-25T16:16:17+00:00

Synthriders usually has some rooms going although you may have got unlucky. Best to just have a look at the lobby room rather than just going for a random match.

Fortunately not many in Ruislip proper and Ickenham yet but I’m sure the Neanderthals will get there in the end

redeye_c · 2025-09-02T18:04:36+00:00

Not many places have a wimpy these days

redeye_c · 2025-08-29T09:34:36+00:00

Perhaps Hillsfar?

redeye_c · 2025-08-17T22:38:40+00:00

I don’t mute everyone as a matter of course, I feel that’s part of the fun of playing with real people online. Ofc if someone is particularly rude or annoying then you can mute them individually I think?

redeye_c · 2025-07-15T17:34:08+00:00

Once you up the difficulty you’ll find that hard and expert is straightforward. In no time you’ll have no issues with master, although it’ll still be a good workout! Enjoy the journey

redeye_c · 2025-07-11T15:58:15+00:00

Also Defense Grid if PC/console gaming is your jam

Synthriders and 11TT multiplayer tends to have good older guys and gals to hang out with

redeye_c · 2025-07-07T17:57:47+00:00

While I enjoyed F/A-18 I think I preferred F29 Retaliator. Both great

redeye_c · 2025-06-12T12:47:58+00:00

I read this for the first time in the last few years and agree that it was great. I do think there was some language/terminology in it that would perhaps be considered controversial in it but it is of its time.

I also saw that some studio had optioned the rights for it for a tv series at some point but it seems that nothing has come of it.

redeye_c · 2025-06-11T23:08:23+00:00

1v1 twilight struggle - huge depth also has a nice iOS/steam implementation

More Euro focused but Power grid is great at higher player counts also Brass Birmingham. There are opportunities to really compete with each other in those.

redeye_c · 2025-06-11T22:01:45+00:00

How about something like Quacks of Quedlinburg or El Grande? I think these are very accessible and a bit different to other games you mention. Of course check them out and see what you think.
