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...

Ticket to Ride India/Switzerland arrives! Just in time to celebrate Anita passing her driving test!

Wow! Unlike real trains, just when you want a new map to turn up, two do almost together! A little unexpectedly the new Ticket to Ride India/Switzerland map turned up on Andys "Released and in store" list! Yay! I asked for him to put one aside to collect later which he dutifully did. Then I got a call from Anita to say she had passed her driving test!!! Yay!! So I thought getting the new map would be a nice present. Different but nice. I collected it from Andy and we've had a look but not played it yet. The India map is fantastic - it even has the major city in Gujurat where Anitas mum is from! The Swiss map is full of mountains and tunnels and connections to surrounding countries - like Germany, Austria, France and Italy. Can't wait to play - and congrats again to Anita for passing!
