The crazy events
Good effects
A great family friendly film
An old favourite for many and one film that will probably grow on you. An interesting idea of an ancient board game that comes to life. Robin Williams is great as the man freed from the board game and trying to finish it before something terrible happens. There is a remake later this year, it has a lot to live up to.

Game Design Ideas and Suggestions
Always a different topic with a great expert, and does a great job interviewing, Amazing for Game Designers especially for aspiring ones
I love this podcast. I'm a aspiring board game designer with a couple of prototypes but still have a long way to go. It never fails to inspire me to do better and consider things from a different perspective. Gabe does a very nice job selecting experts on the topic from the game world. I'd list the names but they won't mean much if you don't play board games. This is a great show and an amazing resource for us designers.

The antithesis of monopoly
This game really is the opposite of monopoly - you start with £1m and have to go round the board trying to lose money as fast as you can, like Brewster's Millions the board game. Exciting trips to the casino and horse racing and spending on the stock exchange give you extra chances to blow your dough. I loved this game growing up, and have bought a second hand version to play with my kids, who also love it. Truly an enjoyable family game trying to get rid of as much money as you can (which my kids are great at IRL!).

I have only played this once at the board game meetings. It is an amazing game, but can be pretty rough for a first time player. I was so excited to be a thug. You get into your role, and steal stuff, do illegal business and try to collect as much cash as you can to win the game. I loved the board and I loved the mechanics - but I think you do need experience for this one to get the hang out of it and actually manage to win.

Great fun, even with 4+ players. Game gets pretty long if many people play though. I would definitely play this again!

I have owned Ticket to Ride: Europe for a long time and it’s not a game that I will be removing from my collection anytime soon. The first time I played the game I was amazed at how quickly the rules could be learned. It takes little time for you to start understanding the nuances of this game. Whenever I teach any edition of Ticket to Ride to someone who hasn’t played board games for years, I tell them that I can get them to completely understand this game in three rounds. I have yet to fail at doing so. The game doesn’t bog down with complicated calculations or actions. With four simple choices for actions each turn, game play moves at a lightning pace. I have found very few people that don’t like the game after playing it numerous times. This is a great accomplishment for any game.
