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...

Huzza! God save the King! Or was it Queen at that time?

Another great game that uses wooden blocks to represent units. Cavalry charges, artillery, muskets, leaders, tallyho!! What's more to like??

Birthday geeky stuff - a copy of Flash Point : Fire Rescue!

Yay! 38 today! Celebrated with family and one of the presents was a copy of Fire Rescue! Maya loves it - although twice now we have failed to rescue everyone - first was when I had the dog at the front door only to be caught in an explosion and secondly the house collapsed after multiple explosions! Great game!
