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 great Sunday of games!


Sunday was a great afternoon full of games - we didn't expect to play so many! Firstly it was a go of Fluxx: Pirates - Roshni, Maya and myself introduced Anita to the game, which she really enjoyed and even won!! Then it was two games of 7 Wonders back to back, with firstly Roshni and I coming joint first with 52 points and then Anita winning with 42 points. Then Anita and I played Ticket to Ride:Nordic, which surprisingly I won with 113 points! It was basically because Anita kept taking small destination tickets after completing her 3 main tickets, whilst I kept taking small and medium which were mostly complete because of my existing routes. Still a win on Ticket to Ride is a win!!
