Interesting! I'm the (new) Games Director of a social club which visits various host
clubs. In the afternoon we play a social but "serious" game with the
members of the host club - in the morning we sometimes have a roll-up
amongst ourselves. It is for the morning roll-up that I am interested
in sometimes introducing a novelty game - preferably pairs or triples
and not too complex. Does anybody have any suggestions Thanks ..........
