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...

Shock - games list goes down!

I just looked at my list of games on boardgamegeek - ha, its dropped to 71 - I was aiming for 100 but the big ASL sale culled a few from the ranks. A few Memoir '44 purchases should bump it up again. There have been some recent additions to the list, either from my local stockist, online or even from boot fairs.

Imperium Romanum II
Last Night on Earth
Lost Cities the Board Game
Memoir '44
Zombies!!! 2nd edition

Am looking at some new games to fill the ASL gap - possibly Power Grid...maybe...

Games games and more games!

Anita has gone games mad! She msn's me at work and says She's found Mystery of the Abbey - a sort of advanced version of Cluedo by Days of Wonder (So it must be good....) on Amazon from a US supplier for a decent price. Since when do wives go out and find games or take an interest in their husbands hobbies? That may sound incredibly sexist, but before I get a million complaints, she's never been interested in my games before. It must be to do with the fact that most of the games are a) WW2 based b) Some other war or modern battle based or c) Games Workshop.

Now she is buying games all over. Well I say she, she finds them, I pay for them lol. Anyhow, we found some more in the 'states. Would have been really good price too with the $0.5 to the £1.00 except for the outrageous postage costs......
