					<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted in far too long. It&#8217;s been a crazy winter. First I had a new kitchen installed. Then I was preparing for (and finally got) a permanent promotion. And then work has been manic and I seem to be constantly busy (usually with boardgames to be fair). Last month my little Geek&#8217;n&#8217;son table &#8230;]]></description>

You can play this game in multiple modes &#8211; smaller games concentrating on specific countries/areas of the world &#8211; or as we played, the full world war. You can play it with a smaller a number of people playing multiple countries, or one country &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I received a new Kickstarter &#8211; Arborea from Alley Cat Games (received ahead of schedule!). I opened it excitedly and tried it out solo last night. This will be a very quick overview compared to my usual posts. Arborea is a game that when it was first coming to Kickstarter was compared to Bitoku. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great Western Trail is one of my top 5 games, after Scythe and Terraforming Mars, before Powergrid and Arkham Horror the Card Game. I can&#8217;t really put my finger on why I love it so much except that it&#8217;s the perfect combination of simple mechanisms stuck together to provide a suitably crunchy game.

					<description><![CDATA[First things first, this was not my idea, and I first heard about the concept from Paul Grogan of Gaming Rules! However, that being said, I wanted to write about this fantastic idea and the fun we had with it. This is something I would highly recommend &#8211; although probably only if you are really &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I first played Dune Imperium a couple of years ago in a 3 player game. I loved it. I have always loved Dune as a franchise (my dad read all the books, but I never got far in as I hated Paul Atreides in Dune Messiah). I would have bought the game following that play &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This post was inspired by the Board Game Geek podcast episode starring Paul Grogan which discussed games which use dice in clever ways. For the most part I don&#8217;t mind dice in boardgames, with a few exceptions. I like games with some randomness, although generally I prefer the randomness of drawing cards than rolling dice. &#8230;]]></description>

I picked a copy up at the bring and buy at UK Games Expo, having previously watched a play through and deciding it was a must have for my collection.

However, when I got home I watched a few reviews and read the rules and I decided it looked pretty good. It&#8217;s a card drafting and laying game where each card &#8230;]]></description>
