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...

Elder Sign at a great price!

On Thursday I was looking at Elder Sign at Battlequest with Nigel. I had seen it a few times and it interests me. I like these sort of games, investigations in the 1920/30s in a Fringe tv show-esque universe - I played Mansions of Madness once and enjoyed it but didn't want to spend a fortune getting the Arkham Horror games without first experiencing it. Then Nigel reminded me someone was selling a copy of the game in Horsham for £20. An offer was made of £17.50 and it was mine! It's in mint punched condition and looks great. It's also a Fantasy Flight game so it's bound to be cracking. More on it when I get around to play (It's a single player game too!).

A quick game at Battlequest

Today had a quick game at Battlequest - had to get away early - so I just played a quick game of some game with Steve and Andy - a game about scoring the most with castles and tiles. It was ok I suppose, but a bit dull. Not my cup of tea as they say.
