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...

First proper playtest of Zombies!!!

Today decided to crack open Zombies!!! to see if the rules played ok for a single player. Been through the rules several times before, but obviously only an actual play will make 100% sense of them. So I decided to play 3 characters at once against the zombies of the game - all three going in different directions to find the helipad. The game plays ok and pretty quick, gameplay is smooth and fast. The only thing that put me off was the Event cards - I'm pretty squemish and I have to say I didn't use the cards! Stupid really considering the content of the game but I found that in solo play, you can play against the game pretty well without them. A friend found the same thing with his two daughters who wanted to play, but are 7 and the cards' content he found a bit too much for them.

All in all a pretty good fast game if I ever fancy a solo.
