boardgames!

There was one I enjoyed as a young kid, but I can't remember it's name. You had a 'plate' and there were cards that had various different foodstuffs on it - some were 'good' food (mashed potato, lamb, beans, etc) and others were 'bad' food (rotten fish, worms, etc). You took turns in picking up cards and had to fill your plate with good food, although obviously being a kid the fun was often in getting the bad food :D

But I can't remember what it was called :mad: :facepalm:

I've got an old (50's looking) version of this called Menuette. It's not got the worms etc though, just foods thst are scored better/worse.
 
Tabletop has started again..
Was a bit disappointed by that episode, to be honest - the rules were hard to understand from Wil's brief explanation, the scores at the end of each day were impossible to comprehend, and Chris Kluwe wasn't half as eloquent as he comes across in print.
 
Bollocks to that! :D

Big news is Wave 5 is out next week (yes really!), a number of FLGS's have put out messages saying they can take pre-orders etc and it's due to hit Tuesday. Bring on The Decimator!

I put my name down for the pride new outrider, but I might try and get the other one as well even though it's dearer.

However according to the shop there a chance the suppliers have been for shouted due to the bad weather in the states

I totally get what you mean. It clearly had more going on that they were able to plausibly explain. Aesethically, it looked nice, but that was about all it had going for me. Definitely not a game I'm interested in playing.
 
Got that Junior Monopoly (based in a theme park I think) in the charity shop the other day for 3 quid. Says it's for 5+ so it may stay on the shelf for a while.

the bugs in the kitchen above might be worth a look. One of the reviews says his 4 year old loves it. (how old is yours?)
 
I'm not buying anything off Amazon, but I'll have a look at that Bugs In The Kitchen. :)
 
Fucking hell, thought I'd ask for Sheriff of Nottingham for Christmas as something a bit different from our normal fare: £40! :eek:

Now, I know that's just the same price as your general new release on PS4 or Xbone, but it still shocked me as a price for a board game.
 
What's a good alternative to Amazon for buying board games (save for going out into the real world which, as we all know, is full of goblins who want to eat our eyes)?
