If you’re looking to meet new friends, play games in a welcoming community and be in with a chance to win fantastic prizes, come along to Loading (Stoke Newington) on a Tuesday evening for one of London’s best game nights. Our crew will help you find a game, make friends and have lots of fun. Just ask for Tabletop Tuesday's at the bar and we’ll help you get settled in. You're welcome to bring your own games or take advantage of the fantastic library of games we have at the bar – all for free! Feature Game: Each week we feature a different game. There is usually the opportunity to win a copy of this game just by playing it on the night. Everyone that plays the feature game is entered into a free prize draw near the end of the evening. We’ll be increasing the frequency of this back to a weekly basis as soon as our stocks allow. (If you want to play other CCG games such as MTG, you are also welcome to do so. More organised play is available on other evenings, but welcome to play at TtT.) On the 1st Tuesday of every month if interest We may Play Social Deduction Games. When: From 7.30pm until 11pm! But feel free to turn up early and play more games! Cost: Free entry and games are free to play, just make sure you buy your drinks! To Play: We have an extensive, ever growing library of over 200 titles. You can see a full list on [www.BigRedBarrel.com](www.BigRedBarrel.com). If you are interested in trying to get a particular game of something organised, just speak to Tim. See BigRedBarrel.com ([http://www.bigredbarrel.com/blog/](http://www.bigredbarrel.com/blog/))'s Twitter ([https://twitter.com/BigRedBarrel](https://twitter.com/BigRedBarrel)) and Facebook ([https://www.facebook.com/BigRedBarrel](https://www.facebook.com/BigRedBarrel)) page for further details. Feature Game info: # Canvas Canvas is a beautiful game about making beautiful paintings. In Canvas, you are a painter competing to win an art contest. What makes it unique is the use of sleeves and transparent cards to create a unique painting. Players start with 3 sleeved background cards and over the course of the game will gain art cards from a central display. Often they will need to pay for the cards they want by placing inspiration tokens on the cards they skip. The end card is always free. On your turn, you will either take an art card and any inspiration on it or make a painting. You can have a maximum of 5 art cards in hand, so if you hit that max you must make a painting. To make a painting you take exactly three of your art cards and arrange them in the order you want. The art cards are transparent apart from some sort of painted element (part of a landscape or an object), a title, and some icons on the bottom. Once arranged you slip them into one of the sleeved background cards creating your art, title and all! You are aiming to have icons showing in a way that scores you the most points. However, some may be covered up unless you place them on top. But then you might be covering other icons you want! You will then score your painting against the 5 scoring objectives. Each one awards a ribbon for each time you achieve that goal. So if a goal requires two triangles and you have four, you would take two ribbons as you have achieved it twice. At the end, the ribbons score points according to the table at the bottom of their goal card. It’s a simple game that perfectly meshes theme and gameplay, in a way not often seen, With its clever use of transparent cards and sleeves it is a winner for showing off the hobby while having a ruddy good time! **Player count:** 1-5 **Time:** 30 minutes **Age:** 14+
