The Extraordinaires

Extraordinaires

Our boys were delighted to get hold of an advance copy of The Extraordinaires Design Studio, the new game from The Creativity Hub (of the award-winning Rory's Story Cubes fame). It's brilliant fun and great for channeling their creativity.

We were lucky enough to play test it during the development stage. You can find out more about the game here or watch the video:

Favourite Film as Board Game

DSCF6668

Around Christmas a mysterious package arrived at work. I often get brown paper wrapped stuff but it's usually small. Books. This was different. It was big. It was The IPRESS File, the board game. Circa 1966.

Now The IPCRESS File, if you didn't already know, is my all-time, tip-top, favourite book and film so even though I'm a fairly old and grumpy bloke, I felt like squealing like a little girl. It was from Johnny, from Euston, Do You Copy? He'd found it in a charity shop and very kindly thought to send it my way. I've got a few vintage games stashed away but this one is pretty special. So if you're reading this Johnny, thanks again!

Measure for Measure

DSCF1277

What with all these maps in the Ace Jet Archive, I thought it was about time I had the right tool to measure them with.
