What's this blog all about?

"Board games? You play board games?" I hear you say... yes, but not unlike any board games you've probably ever heard of. Monopoly? Cluedo? Guess Who? Battleships? No, not by a long shot. One day someone introduced me to a great little game called "Carcassonne" - named after a French medieval town of rambling streets, walls and sections - where the aim is to score the most points using little random squares of road, walls and cities.
I was hooked and so began my, then our - the Bradshaw Tribe, adventure into Euro- and Ameritrash- gaming...

Aquaretto arrives!

Following on from the very popular family game Zooleretto, we found out that Aquaretto is available - a Sea Park based version of the original game that is a full game with new rules in its own right or it can be added as a super-expansion if you dare to the original. I picked this up from our local game supplier battlequestgames, very helpful and accomodating Andy quickly turned around an invoice and I was able to collect it within an hour of ordering.

I had a quick look inside and the components were as good as ever for Rio Grande Games with solid pieces, fantastic art and solid wood Meeples - but the base board is grass?? What sort of water park uses a grass base board and solid water tiles? Not sure about that but that is just esthetics. Cannot wait to play!
