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.

Beaten at Ticket to Ride....again!!!!

Anita wanted a game of Ticket to Ride in prelude to the new Ticket to Ride: Asia coming soon. So I got out the US Ticket to Ride with the 1910 add on that brings new tickets and large format cards.With some good tickets, I set out to try to beat Anita - knowing my track record is against me. In the end, we had completed our tickets and got maximum scores - Anita was on 110 and I was on 113!! Brilliant! I had won. But then we recounted the Longest Track score - and again - and again!! And it came out that if Anita counted another way, she came out two on top!! And won again! No!! Her track record goes unbeaten!

I win (yellow)!!
With a double recount, Anita wins!!
