Star Wars day falls on a Monday, which is when we play our Edge of the Empire weekly role play, so that works out. Besides that we’ve been playing various boardgames from John’s collection. Some Imperial Assault, the app version. Some random small games like Welcome to Dinoworld, which I am abysmally bad at. But mostly Arkham Horror, we’ve played several kinds but this weekend we started the app version, which is not bad at all.

Turns out it is moving near St. Mary’s stadium soon, so I’m glad we got to see the old digs before that.
