ABSW Missed The Deadline Christmas Party 2020

ABSW members are cordially invited to the 2020 ABSW Christmas Party – Online 'Board not Bored' edition - on 11 January 2021

 Are you ready for a night of games and fun and the opportunity to beat the ABSW Board?

Bring-your-own food and drinks at 18:30 for the start of the Yahtzee tournament, settle in and get ready to beat the Board and win some awesome prizes!  

That’s right - we are giving you the chance to beat the ABSW Board on the Yahtzee board! Meet us in the ABSW game rooms - yes, that means Zoom, but also Board Game Arena - where groups of up to five of you will be playing Yahtzee online with Board members. All you need to do is register with Board Game Arena and share your username with us! We have picked Yahtzee because it has easy rules that can be learnt on the spot. The winners of each room proceed to the grand final playing against our Chair Andy Extance.
 
The top three players take home some great prizes:

• Six top books of 2020:
  • The Double X Economy by Linda Scott
  • Explaining Humans by Camilla Pang
  • The Great Pretender by Susannah Cahalan
  • Transcendence by Gaia Vince
  • The World According to Physics by Jim Al-Khalili
  • Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini
• A £50 case of wine from Majestic or £50 vegan chocolate hamper from Chococo
• Cook book gift box from Fortnum & Mason 

Third prize will be a choice of one of these three, second will be two of three, then first is all three.

Anyone that doesn’t make it to the final room, or who arrives late, can meet other ABSW members in a breakout room to play casual games, chat, socialize and cheer on the arrival of Covid-19 vaccines and a brighter 2021. We'll try to wrap up in two hours but as it's a bit of an experiment, anything could happen!

And if you're wondering what all the fuss about board games is all about, see Sam Illingworth's session from UKCSJ2020 below and you'll find out!

We are ready, are you?

Looking forward to seeing all of you on Monday 11 January!
