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...

1 point win over Anita on Ticket to Ride: USA yay!

Fought a very close contest with Anita late Friday on Ticket to Ride - even with her 10 point addition for the longest length of track, I won by 1 point! yay!

Another purchase - but lying low for a while to avoid Wrath of Wife!

I couldn't escape the Gravitational Pull of Battlequest on Saturday and popped in to get some more Top Trumps and the Stalingrad add on for Memoir. Andy's also had a bit of a change around and added some more family friendly stock. First to catch my eye was Pandemic which I'd had my eye on for a while, but I'm worried about the "domineering individual" over a group of co-op players - especially as I'd be playing with a younger team and I'd end up being THAT player! :) Which I don't want. Was sorely tempted to get the 1910 add on for Ticket to Ride USA and/or the couple of new Zooleretto add ons I'd spotted but I decided against it - buying one thing was wrath enough! I'll have to avoid the place for a couple of weeks...
