Covid actually revived my ‘‘attendance’’. Initially, it was my own quarantine after catching it, then various lockdowns and family in semi-quarantine (i.e., daughter’s classmate got it, so rest of class off for a few days.).
I don’t think lack of expansions is an issue - I only have the base game! (Actually 2: 1 English, 1 Czech).
mzungu’s idea of a regular date sounds good. It’s in your diary, so stick to it! Unfortunately, in the modern mobile/digital age, we have become accustomed to cancelling/rearranging at the last minute. (Remember the good old days when a date was a date?!)
How about joining/setting up a group?
I just had a look on Facebook:
Memoir '44 Fans Japan Group
OMG! I just found one for Czechia too!
Doesn’t have to be FB. Remember the rules crib sheet? That was from the Dutch group m44brigade.
There is also Meet Up, which I have been a member of for a while, but that was for walks and cycling trips.
As an English teacher here in Prague, I know the value of games and meetings for practicing a language. There are various board game clubs here.
I often ask my students where and how they learn/practice their English: ‘‘online games’’!
