Look at me. Embracing the 21st Century like a young buck reading the Guardian on an iPad. Just some idle wordage because it's been a week or so. So. Boardgames! He might be a narcisistic cunt but the damn entertaining Robert Florence (@RobertFlorence) is back on RPS talking tabletop gaming every week for as long as he can be bothered. This is a big deal for me. Robert's words were the reason I considered board gaming in the first place. Infectious enthusiasm almost equalled by @explodingrobot and @shutupshow. All people who help reinforce the illusion that my new hobby is cool. And i'm on board with that. What have I been playing? Settlers of Catan finally got its family game night debut. We played two in a row and, although I lost twice, lots of fun was had. Catan really is, as many people have said to me, a terrific introduction for the non-gamer. My girlfriend has since expressed an interest to play more board games. Great. Zombies!!! has had another play. Using prelaid tiles and a scenario of my own concocting, this last session was faster and gave more opportunities to screw over your opponent. Basically, better by a long shot. Tonight, possibly Catan again with the family. Tomorrow, definitely Claustrophobia which has lain idle for too long. Next purchase will definitely possibly be either be Carcassonne or Pandemic. Or Ticket to Ride. Or Small World. KJ @SonAndGames
