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...

Eketorp and Pandemic - an old favourite and a new game with a surprise

Tonight we played an old favourite, Eketorp, and a new game, Pandemic. Eketorp is about warring Viking villages, battling over resources to build their fortifications. Roshni is particularly adept at this game and before we knew it, she'd won 18 blocks (this is one of the ways to win - the other is that the resource cards run out.) and she won the game on points! The next game was Pandemic - a fast paced game that pits the players against the game to defeat 4 diseases. The game lasted a bit longer than it should (45 mins) but it ended very suddenly when the red disease overran Asia and all was lost!
