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...

Fancy a game of Dominion? Nope, lets play Citadels!

We were planning to play Dominion tonight, but we decided on a game of Citadels - nice little game; poor Maya got hit badly by a Thief card when she gathered up a stash of gold and lost it all to Roshni!! She was not happy :( Nice little game - Roshni won in the end with two special purple cards that gave two extra gold each at the end.

"Why did our Dominion game last 1.5hrs?" forum post on Boardgamegeek gets a big response!

After our first game of Dominion, we were wondering why the game lasted 1.5 hours (the box says half an hour) and we still hadn't finished - there was still at least 8 of high scoring 6-point Victory Cards. So I posted a question on the General forum of Dominion on Boardgamegeek. And blimey did I get a reply! See it here at: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/540511/play-lasted-1-5-hrs-in-first-go

Big thumbs up for "gun camera picture" on Board game geek!

A picture I used in a recently blog post on Memoir '44 that was engineered to look like gun camera footage has received high praise on boardgamegeek after I posted it on there! Many thumbs up and comments - it even got onto the home page!
