Do you like board games? I sure do, and this Friday starting 2pm we’re running a taster session for younger people to try some out!
We’ve aimed Tabletop Squires at kids aimed 8-12, but experience and maybe a small bit of help from an accompanying adult will definitely help!
Some of our games:
Dixit – make a story out of abstract cards to score points
Skull – push your luck in this hidden bidding game
Dobble – high-paced picture-matching
Space Team – a loud and frantic spaceship game
I am also working on a large version of an existing game where you can become the player pieces!
We’ve started making some poster cheat-sheets with the rules, but we’ll do our best to explain each one to start you off.

Police are appealing for information to help trace 76-year-old Nancy Bremner, who has been reported missing.
Nancy was last seen in the Torrance Park area of the city around 3pm yesterday (Sunday) and there is significant concern for her welfare.
She is described as being white, 5ft 1 and slim build, with should-length greying hair. When last seen, she was wearing a pink puffy coat, black jeans and black boots. She is known to frequent the Corstorphine area, including shops at Drumbrae, Glasgow Road and Corstorphine Road.
Inspector Kris Harvey said: “As time passes, our concern for Nancy continues to grow and we are asking for anyone who may have seen her, or has any information on her whereabouts to please come forward as soon as possible.
“You can contact police on 101, quoting incident 2160 of 12 March, 2023.”
We can confirm that Nancy Bremner has been found safe and well.
Thanks to everyone who shared our appeal.
