A blog about whatever grabs my attention, mainly Board games, RPG's, Motorbikes, Cricket, Football and a disturbing fascination with fire.

I caved, Star Wars miniatures!
Sorry once more for the delay.
I had long promised myself that I would avoid the X Wing miniatures game, because as a collector and 'Wars fan boi I would buy myself silly.
Well I finally got to play it and then bought it, Jade loves it mainly as she gets to blow up my ships (the dice gods love her).
I have just attended the second Northampton games day (where a very kind soul played X wing with me - see above) I also got to play Bang (a game I had long wanted to try), between two cities, a good if not outstanding game and Salem, a game that I had never paid much attention before but is excellent, really if you are in the position of playing games with many people you NEED to get this.
So all in all a great day, looking forward to the next one, first however we have the UK Games Expo.
Expo countdown!
Less than one month to go till the expo, I am volunteering once more (only way I can afford to visit for more than a single day) if it is half as good as last time it will be amazing.
I have little I am looking for in terms of new games, add ons and expansions are the order of the day (see X Wing above), I also plan to take a fair bit of beer this time to save myself from the hotel bar charges!
In other gaming news I have been preparing a game of Changeling the Dreaming to play with my girls, the youngest especially seems to be looking forward to it, the older one (Amber) is 11 so is aiming at teenager level strops half the time.
Games we are currently playing,
Xwing,
King of Tokyo,
Marvel Legendary,
Love Letter.
Laters.
