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...

Kerpow! Anita takes a massive thumping at Ticket to Ride : Europe

We've had a spate of Ticket to Ride games over this holiday period; either older versions or the new map packs. Today we had a go at Ticket to Ride Europe, a version we'd not played for a while because of the tunnels rule. The tickets were dealt out and we set off - making tracks around Europe; both of us had links with Edinburgh on a ticket which meant that when Anita made her play, I was stumped and lost the ticket! Knowing I would get negative points for this, I made a play for the long route across Scandinavia and Russia to get 21 points which I knew would be eaten into by my Ticket which was minus 8.

Then it came to counting out the tickets - and I accelerated ahead well past 100, eventually to 123 whilst Anita was far back on 89.
Ready for the final count up!

I win! 128 to Anitas 89!
