Smorgas is my fave. Thought Cockbongo Games could be good from a logo perspective…

Yes I am - demoing on the Naylor Games stand.

Have you played my Murder on the Orient Express Snowdonia scenario yet?

Play the wonderful things you’ve got more; explore some a little deeper eg. Race for the Galaxy, Keyflower, ahem Snowdonia ahem etc :-)

@bridgetchristie.bsky.social welcome! BTW loved your appearance with Adam Buxton in Bristol earlier this year!

Next time you’re back in the Forest/Glos you should stop by the Museum of Board Games too :-)

Is anyone I know going to be at Olympia for the London Toy Fair today (Tuesday)?

I’ll be there for the first time in a long while on behalf of The Museum of Board Games and it would be great to meet up!

Watching a 1966 interview with Lawrence Olivier, I am struck how remarkably like Kenneth Branagh is to him…an idea for a biopic, perhaps?!

It's amazing how complicated these alternative 'dice' things are in their attempt to replace the simple, portable cube...
