Board Meeting

Last night we went to the local Ukrainian Club's Game's Night. Now having been brought up on  the likes of Frustration, Battle of the Little Big Horn and Go For Broke, you'd have thought that I'd like traditional board games like Ludo and Chinese Chequers. Alas, I don't and found myself constantly being reminded that it was my turn! I blame my genes. My parents never played games like these with us sprogs so Nine Men's Morris and Draughts passed me by. We played our altogether more hip Sixties board games like Twister and Formula 1 together as kids. I do feel I've missed out though as simple board games seem to offer good clean fun for a group of four or five people. If last night was anything to go by adults clearly enjoy the experience, including me, despite my lack of strategic skill!


So Swordies, what do you think, have board games had their day?
