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...

A Sunday of gaming fun

Today was a nice sunny Sunday and before I was tasked to tackled the overgrowing garden, we sat to play some games. Poor Kavita had homework to attend to so Roshni, Maya, Anita and I had a game of Zooleretto, Diamant and Formula 1.

Zooleretto was a good blur of animals, money and competition. You have to be quick on your toes to outwit Anita at this game; yet with the competitiveness it also brings out the friendly banter of helping each other to achieve the animals we need. With this game we played with the Petting Zoo, Elephant/Zebra/Flamingo mini-add ons and Polar Bear cub add ons, giving just the right balance of complexity vs fun. A few times Anita asked Maya if she was ok or needed help but she shook her head and said "I'm thinking" lol.

Final score Anita (41), Me (28), Roshni and Maya (18)
The zoos build up; the Polar bear is still up for grabs; The game is in full swing - they are usually a fast, frantic affair with hands all over.
