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...

Quick lunch time play of Niagara

Whilst working at home today and the girls being off for Dwali, we thought we'd snatch a quick game of something at lunch time. Seeing as Kavita hadn't played Niagara yet, we thought we'd settle for that, although Anita was tired and opted for a snooze instead. Kavita quickly picked up the rules and we were all dashing about picking up gems. But before I knew it, Roshni had formulated a strategy and had grabbed 5 purple gems and won in a double canoe dash for the finish line! We were just about to start a new turn when I thought Hang on - has she won?! and it turned out she had! lol
