No more games – play what you’ve got! Part 4, But You Can’t Just Throw Away Gifts, Obviously…

I’ve banned new games from being purchased in 2014 to allow us a year to play through all the games we’ve already got – and there are a fair few of them, though a very modest collection compared to many other gamers.  If a brilliant, must-have game emerges this year I’ll just have to wait to see if it survives a few months of fair reviewing and the cult of the new to become a lasting classic, and if so I should theoretically have no problem picking it up in 2015 anyway.  My birthday came and went in May, and...

2014 catch up, creativity and “1066, Tears To Many Mothers” gamers wanted!

EDIT – 1066 has now been added to the BGG database here: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/155122/1066-the-tears-of-many-mothers For numerous horrible reasons 2013 was a difficult year for us.  I’m not going to dwell on it, and I’m determined to minimise its impact on 2014.  The end result is that after an unusually long drought, I’ve recently undergone a period of renewed creativity, the first in a long time.  The kind where ideas keep me awake at night so I have to pen them down and get them worked out as quickly as possible.
