Game on

munchkin_cover.jpgGeoff and I are pretty big suckers for games. Board games, card games, any games.

For Christmas Geoff took a punt and got me Blokus Duo (ie. Two person Blokus) and hit on a winner. It’s a strategy game that continually changes. I am unashamedly quite good at it, it’s my kind of thing – because it’s my kind of thing, we got the four person version for my Dad’s birthday present – the four person version is also very good.

The other game we’ve gotten into lately is Munchkin. Munchkin is a spoof of role playing games (Of which my opinion is still unsettled towards the negative).

Munchkin was introduced to us by our friends Beth and Brian who got us a set of cards for our engagement present. It’s taken a bit of learning to get it as it’s fairly complicated and still longer to establish any kind of strategy. We got together a few nights back with 12 of us and had a Munchkin evening (with three sets going). The game itself is quite amusing with stupid characters on the cards and ridiculous helmets etc. We own Star Munchkin.

It’s all good fun.

Geoff and I are keen on playing Settlers of Cattan (?) if anyone owns it? We’ve heard it’s good but want to borrow it before we go and buy.

Gold Stars

stars.jpgDue to her resplendent kindness (hehe) I’m going to share that my friend Jess has recently started blogging.

This is not her first endeavor – the last you might remember was Exchange Me, which very well would have gone ahead except for the fact that she wound up not going on exchange and so couldn’t write about it. The good thing was that she was around to be a bridesmaid! She was also ‘the one’ who shared a stack of wedding photos on here while Geoff and I were away. And made that video of our friends altering our house. She is also doing the post-production on our wedding video.

Jess is a film/media student and works at a cinema. She talks about movies more than anyone I know and is a wealth of knowledge about actors, cinematography and who knows what – infact I think she’s probably got IMDB memorised. The quality of my movie watching has increased tenfold. Potentially because I see five times the numbers of movies than I normally would because of Jess.

If you’re still here and haven’t been sidetracked by any of the other links above, her new blog is called: Gold Stars and is (surprise, surprise) a movie review site with a few other ‘film related’ thoughts thrown in. It’s new. She’s got a bit of image settling still to get done but I suggest you keep an eye on it and discuss away after all, who doesn’t like movies besides my mum!
