Sadly, mine tore off 2 weeks ago whilst I was getting changed for a badminton match. Sad face was sad.

Has anyone ever heared of this board game of the same name.

Disappointed...

I wanted the new score system :P

Slow day for bit-tech? Reviewing *board* games?

If there's no news, folks, just say it. I don't blame you for wanting to spend your Friday playing video games ...

But mostly Chess.

Sounds like there is a lot of headroom for rule rewriting - monopoly style! Surely you can find a way to spice it up (fixed time moves?).

Anyone played the Horus Heresy board game?

HeroQuest[/QUOTE]

^Game of my childhood

You guys have a hell of a lot more fun in your office than I do, that's for sure...

Liked the board game review :)

space hulk
blood bowl
chess
world in flames

new scoring system any1???

I remember playing the Civilization Board Game many years ago, but this seems to be a new version. It was however very complex, and i think our first go at the game lasted about three days. Great fun, but the game got lost during a move. Might have to pick up this new one some as I really enjoy the occassional bout of board gaming.

Great game, it just takes too long. Basically a game for students who can afford to spend all day and all night playing one game, once you reach the real world Civ gets put away and doesn't come out very often if ever. Same with some of the 18xx train games.
