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...

Finally we won at Pandemic!!

Hurray we beat Pandemic!! With the combined brain power of 4 of us plus Maya helping with cards, we finally managed to beat this game with much elation. But it was no mean feat - we just got through with the skin of our teeth, first taking out the blue, then black, then yellow and finally the red disease using a combination of passing cards to the right people in the right cities. We thought we were doomed with Roshni in the US and we needed her in China to finish off the red disease when we realised there was a direct link from San Francisco to Japan which enabled her to pass on the required card to me and then I took all five cards to the Research Station to cure the red disease! A great cheer went up when we won! Can't wait to play again!
