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...

Thursday night at Battlequest - nice bit of 7 Wonders

Thursday night was another quick visit to Battlequestgames - I got home fairly late, so I didn't want to spend too long there. I intended for a quick visit but I ended up having a good natter to Andy then saw Julian, Simon and Brian were going to play 7 Wonders; Andy said he'd play too, so I couldn't resist! Although Brian had only played once before, he won with a crushing military strength AND the Military Loss Guild, which meant he gained 1 Victory Point for every -1 military point on either side of him - which was -6 from me and -6 from Julian = an extra 12 to add to his 18 military points!! He won in the end with 60!
