Today we had a couple of quick games of 'Galleys and Galleons' at the club, and had a fun day! If you want to see how the games went, please go to this link
I hope you enjoy them, or at least Lawrence's lovely ships! |

Been finding my homemade hulls, London dismasted lately, no idea where my sea rules ever got to. Thinking of at least a land game maybe to get to them moored and goal to destroy them. |

Isn't Balls and Cutlasses a book of 18th Century Irish poetry? The titular poem, which I'm sure we all learned in literature class, starts: "There once was a pirate named Bates / Who tried to fandango on skates…" (Attributed to Jonathan Swift) I'll leave the actual balls and cutlasses part to your internet research. |
