Introduction

I enjoy in indulging in everything board game related, to kickstarters, news, reviews, the community driven conversations about our favourite games, and most of all playing the games whether that's with my partner, new friendly people I meet or my recently established gaming group. I just can't get enough of board games, and I decided it's time I do something to involve myself in the blog scene, as well as enhance my frankly bad writing skills. So to do this I have challenged myself to write either a board game review, A first impressions of a game, A test of a print and play or article about a expansion once a week. Since I haven't done this before I don't expect anyone to read it except for my spellcheck, but only time will tell. So if you do by chance come across this blog in your travels I implore you to comment express your thoughts and tell me how I'm wrong or feed my ego and tell me I'm right, either way engage and hopefully you will gain some enjoyment or interest from my articles. P.s It would probably be a good idea to introduce myself, clearly the excitement got a head of me, I'm at this stage a professional uni student with the last year of 6 and half years of uni nearly done and dusted. However I didn't discover the beauty of board games to about 4 years ago when I got tired of magic the gathering creating tumbleweeds in my wallet. Don't get me wrong it's a great game that i have fond memories of and the many decks to prove it but i wanted something more and varied then just magic and that is when talisman and munchkin opened my eyes to the world of board games, Since then there has been a avalanche of purchasing, (that has probably cost more than magic ever did) but I wouldn't change a moment as the variety of games is incomparable. This is the excitement I want to carry over to this blog as I have about 200 board games and it's about time I share my views on these instead of just filing it away in my head. Follow via facebook
