Deadlines, Dossiers and Bingo

There are only a couple of days left to dust off your trenchcoats for Sandpit #3: Spying and Lying on Wednesday. If you’re planning to attend but haven’t signed up for any games yet, you might want to do that now - there are only a few spaces left for the scheduled games. If you’re too late, you can always put your name on the reserve list when you turn up; there are generally a few last-minute cancellations.

Of course, there’ll be plenty of unscheduled games that you can play without booking, including some of the favourites from last time (including Paper Telephone and Nomic), plus some new ones (1000 Blank White Cards and Foldover) and a special spy-themed variant of Werewolf, where the loyal spies are trying to root out the double-agents.

Dossier is also recruiting members of the public to be “targets”, which the game’s players will have to find in the crowd, using only a blurry photo. If you’d like to be a Dossier target, contact the game’s organiser at sandbagger.three@googlemail.com for further information.

Finally, if you’re stuck in a safehouse and won’t be able to come out at all on Wednesday, with no way to while away the evening except to draw false moustaches on a picture of yourself in Photoshop, you can play an online preview of Numbers Station Bingo.
