Your Move, Covid...

[waitingman]

In a sign of things to, probably, come... my newsfeed threw in this story today, about the best board games to play at home

Given that we'll certainly be spending NYE at home & possibly a lot more nights to come, as Sydney's Covid clusters expand & multiply, maybe it's time to learn a few games. I've always though that Terry Pratchett's semi-fictional Cripple Mr Onion sounded a bit far-fetched & complicated, but apparently, there are real rules & cards... so it could be the trick to whiling away those evenings at home

I wonder if anyone's come up with a Thud board yet? Why yes... Yes they have...

We've got Thud.

And that list of games is terrible! No Settlers of Catan? Carcassone? Potion Explosion? Ticket to Ride? Where's 6Nimmt or even something long like Chaos in the Old World or Onwards to Venus?

We are living in a Golden Age of Board Games, thanks to the Eurogames and the US games explosion, and they show us that hoary old bunch with one of the worst games ever, Monopoly.
