I think we should pretend we're on the Traitors and cheer everytime someone appears for breakfast.

I think Cottage would be a good place for Traitors style or Taskmaster style games, but god knows I don't have the energy to organise that shit :DD

Traitors is just a rip-off of Mafia anyway

I think Jem meant the "challenges" that they do to earn prize money ;)

On the Mafia topic, I've been playing a bit of Blood On The Clocktower just lately with Zeppo and friends, and I think that would be a good fit for Cottage -- although the added complexity of everyone having roles and abilities would make it decidedly impractical after we've all had a few.

Yeah, that bit.

It's the fact that it's a glorified Mafia that made me think it would work so well.

And by well, I mean probably disastrously but with hilarious consequences.

My board game group love "Blood on the Clocktower". I like some of its mechanics, especially ghost voting, but it never really clicked with me (for reasons no doubt we can discuss at the weekend)

I've long thought "2 Rooms and a Boom" would be a similarly ideal Cottage game.

On the platform, waiting for my first train. I feel like I've packed too much and have forgotten something at the same time.

Passing Cheltenham Spa now. Apparently catching a bus from 'Lara Croft Way' is the ticket to cottage good times. Didn't know she was a local girl.

Am travelling light but still got me Switch, Parks and Camel Up/Cup as per tradition.

Hello Headache Crew. Hope the hangover breakfast is a good one.

Please raise a toast to Dimmers, MrC and Owen if you find a uniting moment.

Back home now, the car behaved as long as I kept it under 3,000 rpm so that's something at least.

As ever, thanks for a great weekend all! Gets better every year :D

Great photo. Where is that? In the 2nd cottage? Were the disco lights there or did somebody actually think to take some with them?
