How I hate sites that show a "Site under construction" message (so unprofessional). It happens to be a pet hate of mine. Its really quite simple: If the site...

Say you have a Son/Daughter around 8 years of age and you want to teach them all about social gaming but with an educational value. What games have you played...
Interesting question George. The younger of my two nieces aged 7 and my nephew aged 8 are interested in playing games - and its my niece who's more focused and...
My daughter is 17 months old, and I'm counting the weeks until she's able to play the simplest of games and I can start her indoctrination, sorry introduction,...
Hello Marty, I can only tell you of my experience. Others people might have a different experience. I have two step-children. They are both now adults in their...
Monopoly - one of the billions of "themed" versions is bound to appeal. Risk and Cluedo are good too. Great games to learn as well as have fun - numeracy,...
Hi George, Here's my suggestions... Hare and Tortoise: some basic arithmetic, and a very important gaming skill - planning ahead Scrabble: vocabulary,...
I have to agree with Keith on this. Hare and Tortoise & Alles im Eimer (or Bucket King) have both been played at the club and both have been a success. Bob's...
Did anyone go to this? I think George said he was going. Did you have a good time? Good atmosphere? Try any new games? Let us know how you got on.........
Hi Marty, Yes this is my second year at TCAD. The event was brilliant and far better than last year, all credit to Sue and Nick. It's probably the best Board...
Scrabble is an excellent game in its simplicity. I would add Chess, not because its a classic, but because it helps cultivate thinking ahead which is...
For those that are interested, I worked out the odds for SoE combat... Offset Win Draw Lose ... 0 40.12% 19.75% 40.12% +1 59.88% 16.98% 23.15% +2 76.85% 11.73%...
After another excellent game of SoE, i think there was consensus to adopt a house rule for moving units within Europe. House rule: a) Unrestricted placement...
It was a great game. I agree with Neil on the HouseRule of "NEW units can arrive anywhere in Europe". Bringing armies BACK from the colonies would need a...
As one of the two newbies playing on Sunday, I thought I'd throw in my impressions of and thoughts on the game. Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot. I got off...
Well i agree with the Army training view - you can only get the potential benefit of +1 combat if you actually have at least one army present. So a player with...
I just came back from Essen and managed to bring back a large haul of games - the list is here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/25446 I'll happily bring...
Wow, what a haul! Mouth-watering. They gey pride of place at our session today. I think it's only fair that YOU get to pick which one(s) you most want to try...
Last session, last Sunday 21 October was brilliant! 10 of us meant it was perfect to split into two groups, and yet see how the other group's games worked. We...
Don't know whether some/all of you will also have received this. There's a GamesFest, incl boardgaming, in Tring (Herts) on Sat 10 Nov. It looks interesting to...
Hi folks, I'm confirming (as pencilled in) that the next session will indeed be next Sun 11th Nov, 6 days from now; as usual 2.30 prompt till about 7.30. Pls...
Another brilliant session! 10 of us to start with, (including new member Attila, a vet from Essex, and previously from Hungary, with a very sharp mind.) So we...
I found this today. Thought I might share it with you. These were posted on an NZ Tourism Website and the answers are the actual responses by the website...
You can imagine the comment about cutlery 'probably' having a rational basis but the question doesn't reflect that - reminds me years ago reading an article...
There's a tip on BGG about TL Maxx selling cheap games. Picked up a copy of Perikles for £9.99. Not sure how good it is, but it has a fairly good BGG rating...
This may be of interest - http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/Dice_.html Bought some dice from these people. Already have plenty of regular opaque (mainly...
