82 - Free Trader

In this weeks episode I take a back seat...kind of... as Erik Dewey of the On Board Games podcast and co-designer of Arclight a ship to ship space combat game takes time to review a game of my own design. - Free Trader.

Free Trader is a solitaire space trading game where things get complicated by Pirate attacks and Police raids.

80 - The Well and the Donkey

In a break with tradition, this week I'm not reviewing an entire game but rather a Print and Play expansion to Carcassonne. The expansion is called "The Well and the Donkey".

You can download the expansion from the files section on the Carcassonne page at BGG

No Show this week

Once again I'm bailing out. I just dont have the energy. This weekend I've had to lay a floor and put up two beds, a quick splash of paint on the walls and rehang two coat hook thingies, and spend a total of ( my goodness ) 8 hours on shopping trips.

So in summary I'm beat and I'm going to spend the last few hours of the weekend sitting and moaning about how this kind of work was easier when I was younger. :)
