The other great love

I had an epiphany this morning while walking to the car.... This blog should have board games too. 

Over the last year or so I've fallen head over heels in love with board games. This has been enhanced by Tabletop on the Geek & Sundry channel on YouTube. Wil Wheaton, one of my favourite actors while in high school hosts a game every couple of weeks. I review  the video, decide if I can't live another day without it  ( If this proves to be the case, I place an order ASAP, before stocks in NZ diminish) or otherwise if goes on my list of maybe one day and I start watching the prices. 

This love of board games isn't completely new. I've always found enjoyment from them. But I'm an only child and my mother is not a great fan of them. So my extensive  collection, my favourites being of connect 4 and pictionary, gathered dust over the years. 

Now I have a network of friends that share this enjoyment, and even a guy who will play with me :). 

Any way last night we played Star Fluxx, the game where the playing parameters are constantly on "flux".  I managed to win 2 of the 3 rounds played. It's the first time I've won the game, and it shows all the practice I've had playing on my iPad has been worth it :). 

Oh and has anyone tried the ice cream from McDonalds lately? It's amazing.
