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...

Preparing for a gaming Saturday and teaching Joy and Andy - the Boss - about Niagra

Whilst preparing for Saturdays gaming, I was asked by Joy, the boss's wife, to teach them Niagara, a game they bought on recommendation from us. It was good to sit down and go over the rules again and help someone else to understand the game, because it also re-enforces your own understanding of the rules and irons out any game play problems of your own. Also I introduced her to 7 Wonders and instantly she was interested - she said she'd love Civilisation on the PC and this reminded her of it. I explained the basic concept and how the 7 card system worked and the rotation of the cards after each time a card is chosen. Looks like they may well be buying another game...
