About this deal

The pieces in a Farm tools set are related to farmyard tools, such as ladders, rakes, shovels, and hoes. Typically, around 45 pieces are in a set, made of wood, plastic, bone, or ivory. In addition to the tools, typically a helper piece with a hooked end is included for use in snagging and manipulating pieces. [1] Each piece has a point value, with more challenging pieces being worth more points. Let it not, however, be inferred that taxation cannot be pushed too far : it is, as the Oriental proverb says, the last straw that overloads the camel ; a small addition, if ill-timed, may overturn the whole. [The Scots Magazine, April 1799] Another popular theme is to carve the wood, bone, or ivory straws into the shape of tiny farming tools (shovels, axes, rakes, saws, etc.). They have them all over England and we thought there had been one here before but not the idea we wanted.

Middle English strau, from Old English streaw (rare) "dried stems or stalks of certain grains after threshing," apparently literally "that which is scattered or strewn," related to streowian (see strew). Straw poll"vote taken without previous notice or at a casual gathering" is from 1932; earlier straw vote (1866). Straw hat, one made of woven or plaited straw, is attested mid-15c. ( strawen hattis). Play continues like this with players taking turns until all of the objects have been collected. Players then score points based on the following chart. Whoever has the most points wins the game. This is from Proto-Germanic *straw-"that which is scattered" (source also of Old Norse stra, Danish straa, Swedish strå, Old Saxon stro, Old Frisian stre, Old Dutch, Old High German stro, Dutch stroo, German Stroh"straw"), from PIE root *stere-"to spread." The notion perhaps is of dried grain stalks strewn on a floor as carpeting or bedding. As a type of what is trifling or unimportant, attested from late 13c.

The filter coffee was excellent, probably some of the nicest we’ve tried from any café in Belfast. Tea was good too—it’s hard to mess up a good cup of tea. We want to provide a comfortable, fun environment where groups of friends or family's can come together, drink coffee and select and learn a game from a collection of over 400 board games, said Laura, 26.

They will sit with customers and teach them how to play and then will be available to serve food and drinks and answer any questions.

Each player’s turn begins with the player gathering up all of the objects that haven’t already been taken by other players. They then drop all of the objects from a height of two inches above the table. The current player tries to remove one object at a time from the pile. If while trying to remove one of the objects any other object in the pile moves, the current player’s turn is over and they don’t get to keep the object that they were trying to remove. If they successfully remove the item without moving any other objects, they get to try and remove another object. The cafe will have staff who will ask customers about their board game experience and judge from their answer which game would be appropriate.
