The first Pasteboard and Plastic event in Saltdean was in November 2005. This is the eighth event, in March 2009, and as always, it was a fun day. See this geeklist on BoardGameGeek, or this index of all P&P events.
I'd like to thank Dick, an irregular at our gaming group, for organising it so well.
We had an attendance of around thirty again, and the event raised over a hundred pounds for the 42nd Brighton Scout Group.
I wanted to play some of the unplayed games in my collection and took a large bag with me, as well as two games to sell. In the event, I played three of the games I took, and sold one. Ironically, the game that didn't sell was called Sold!.
However I bought Munchkin Quest and Guillotine.
I'd also like to thank Keith, who gave me a free expansion for Agricola.

We played two rounds of Sorry! Sliders.
It's a fun game I picked up in San Francisco recently (see San Francisco 2009).
It was played a lot during the day.
players: Mike, Peter, Philip, Tim
playing time: 30 minutes for two rounds
I thought this played really well. There have been some negative comments on the Geek, but only from people who misunderstood the rules!
Reiner Knizia rocks!
players: Mike, Peter, Philip, Tim
playing time: 30 minutes
This is a relatively long game with role-playing elements, and both the games I've had so far have been the basic game.
I've enjoyed both though I must find some player aids.
I'm looking forward to playing the full game - perhaps at Pasteboard and Plastic IX.
Highly recommended.
players: Dave, Gihan, Mike, Ron
playing time: 2.5 hours
This is another great game, though I was floundering at the beginning. I swiftly recovered to secure last place!
players: Helen, Gihan, Mike, Ron
playing time: 3 hours
Traditionally played towards the end of a Pasteboard and Plastic event, this was as much fun as previous games.
The werewolves learned their lesson after the drubbing they received in P&P VII, and won both games.
I played a werewolf in both rounds... (also see Pasteboard and Plastic V's Werewolf).
players: Alastair, Damon, Dick, Gihan, Heidi, Helen, Jim, Keith, Mike, Phil, Pete, Ron, Tony, Tim and at least one other. Sorry. Who did I miss?
playing time: 1 hour
Finally, we played Munchkin Quest. It's a fun game I nearly picked up in San Francisco recently - see San Francisco 2009.
I'm glad I didn't, as it was much cheaper from the excellent folks at Board Game Club ($50 in the states as opposed to £21).
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to properly digest the rulebook.
Now I've read it, I can see the game will run faster and more fluidly, and look forward to trying it again.
players: Mike, Tony
playing time: 1.5 hours
I liked the look of this game, but don't know much about it.
I picked this up in San Francisco recently - see San Francisco 2009, but haven't yet played it, though I have played 10 Days in Europe. I was pleased to see that it got played. Hopefully, I'll get to have a go soon.
I plan to attend Pasteboard and Plastic IX on 11 July 2009.
