The outing on 28th March was great! It was really a very good chance to get to know one another through this kind of activity.
The SMU Settlers Café offers easily over 150 varieties of board games. Friendly trained hosts are always on hand to help us out. The whole experience with the beneficiaries from Handicaps Welfare Association was really amazing. Personally I teamed up with Philip in a game called Sequence and we managed to emerge as the winner. We also played Taboo and Animal Farm. The free flow of drinks really made us enjoyed Taboo a lot!

Hi guys, Juan (John) from Argentina
I‘ve being reading your posts and your NatGro looks fun and committed. In Argentina there are many local groups (we are a large country) so I won’t pretend to speak for all of them, but things here imo have developed somehow different so far. Active members are mostly middle-aged people. I see many children involved in your activities; that is promising. Our Creadeia group is working on it, mostly focusing on parents counseling, I think. Anyway, in Buenos Aires encounters are held every Friday night in the HQ, opportunity intrinsically worth of the Board meeting, and a large dinner (something-to-share or delivery-call styles). Eating is one of the few inexpensive things we can still do.
That board game club you have it’s definitely cool. I’m a board game fan (and creator) since ever. This is why I ended up visiting your site. I’m trying to reach someone inside Koei to let them know I’ve being promoting some extensive playtesting on an original board game for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms (“Sangokushi”, a video game series published since late 80s, in every available platform, based in the homonymous writings of Luo Guanzhong). They are a new branch and have recently released a MMO for the RoTK, so I figure they’ll have many fans among their staff. I could really benefit from their feedback.
So I thought of this. Of all people in Singapore (and the whole wide world in general) you are the ones I can relate the most. We mensans are extraordinarily resourceful people (lol). Post me back or hotmail me at jpc_hexis. Thank you
Keep thinking!!!

Hi Juan,
Thanks for writing. Your ROTK game sounds cool. If there’s an opportunity, we will be quite happy to play test it at our sessions!

Hello Martin,
I can send you the files in pieces (they sum up to about 15MB). But I will need you to hotmail me at jpc_hexis@ cause I don’t think I can freely use and distribute this Koei-related material publicly.
Regards,
KT!
