    Game upgrades

    One thing I find interesting about the board game hobby is the market for unofficial upgrades to game elements. For example, metal coins to be used in place of cardboard tokens. What upgrades do people have for their games, or what have you seen that you want? One that recently caught my eye...

    PlayTable

    This article about PlayTable came up in a recent Medium Daily Digest. Not sure what my opinion is at yet, other than "that ain't cheap" (when I checked out their website). Anyone else heard of it and have any thoughts...

    Legacy games

    http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/gaming/2016/08/rob_daviau_s_legacy_board_game_seafall.html Interesting read. I've seen Pandemic Legacy in the shops but haven't played any games of the 'legacy' variety. If you have, what's your view of them? It would seem you definitely need to be part of a...

    Fortune and Glory: The Cliffhanger Game

    So I was given this for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Any opinions on the game? I've read varying reviews, so put that down to the preferences of the reviewers.

    Star Wars: X-Wing

    I looked at getting this for a friend's birthday but (correct me if I'm wrong) you get very few minis in the starter set. Seems like to make it worthwhile, ie. to get more minis, you then need to invest more in expansions. I understand this is an excellent marketing strategy by FF, but I'd...

    Office 365 / Word 2013 issues

    I recently bought Office 365 Personal and I'm having problems when it comes to starting up Word. I was running the OEM version of Word Starter 2010 that came with the laptop, and had no issues. Now when I either try to start Word 2013, or open a Word doco from Windows Explorer (without Word...

    Tertiary and Continuing Technical writing courses

    After 17 years as a software engineer for one of the 'big 4' banks, I've became (yet another) victim of off-shoring. As opportunities for legacy system work is drying up in this country, I'm wanting to put to use my experience with documentation. As part of that I'm trying to identify some...

    Diplomacy

    Great article about a guy's experience at a Diplomacy tournament, and reflections on the game itself. http://grantland.com/features/diplomacy-the-board-game-of-the-alpha-nerds/ I used to play this with mates years ago. Was never great at it, and we rarely had a full compliment, but still had...

    Munchkin

    Played this on the weekend (original edition with no expansions) with some mates, neither of whom had played it before. Even went down well with the mate who's only somewhat interested in boardgames. Just wondering what age, in general, people reckon is good to give this as a gift to a kid. I...

    Travel Booking websites

    I've never used one of these sites (eg. Expedia) to make a booking, so wondered if they are actually cheaper than going through a hotel's/airline's website. I did a spot check of a couple of different Las Vegas hotels (using Expedia) and there was no discernible difference in price. The other...

    Travel oneworld - Circle Pacific fare

    Travelling with some friends later in the year with the intention of doing a US/Canada west coast road trip (LA-Vancouver), then flying to Tokyo and later onto Bangkok. I came across the Circle Pacific fare as part of oneworld, and wondered if anyone had made use of it. Was it...
