Frostgrave – A retrospective view

A while ago I was introduced to a relatively new skirmish game called Frostgrave by Joseph A. McCullough and published by Osprey games. I played a few games and was instantly hooked. It was very reminiscent of Mordheim which I had played years ago. I got the rule book and not long after that decided […]

Arkham Horror: The Card Game – A play-through review

For a while, I’ve been looking at getting Arkham Horror: The Card Game as I had heard nothing but great things about it, the gameplay and the replay-ability of it so I finally took the plunge and brought the core set along with the first expansion, The Dunwich Legacy. So what is Arkham Horror: The […]

The history of gaming (from a certain point of view) Part Five.

The past few years had been a haze of building and painting Games Workshop products with the odd game thrown in for good measure but times were changing. I was at uni and time for playing was limited. I had joined the uni gaming society CRAGS and played lots of different games there. This is […]

The history of gaming (from a certain point of view) Part Four

It was the Age of Miniatures… well 2006 and I had just reintroduced myself to the world of Warhammer 40k. I only had a few bits to start with just to get used to the rules. We played a few games at the gaming clubs and I quickly grasped the rules. I had started to […]

The history of gaming (from a certain point of view) Part Three

The new millennium was upon us and gaming was about to become an even bigger part of my life… I’d been playing Star Wars CCG for a couple of years and my collection was getting rather large. I played regularly with friends and time just flew when we played or just sat there building decks. […]

The history of gaming (from a certain point of view) Part Two

It’s 1991, I’ve started college in Cambridge and I was about to discover a new gaming related hobby… miniatures! College had finished early and I had some time to kill in Cambridge so I decided to have a wander round the city. I recognised a shop I had been to when I visited Liverpool with […]

The history of gaming (from a certain point of view)

This is more a history of my gaming exploits rather than a history of gaming itself. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved playing board games. I think the first game I ever owned was Junior Scrabble. It helped me learn how to spell and remember different rules. This of course progressed […]
