    This is where you'll find my incredibly erudite insights into life, board games and stuff. And nothing says erudite more than triple emphasis and the word 'stuff'.

    My Year in Games.

    My Year in Games.

    2018 has been a great year for Cards or Die. We've brought lots of people together with board games and played thousands of games! Here are our highlights... January I love visiting board game cafes and our family started the year by visiting Treehouse Board Games Cafe, Sheffield. It's great to try games before you commit to buying and I love being taught the rules without having to wade through rule books. Exactly what Cards or Die offers at all of our events but nonetheless
    2018: is safe to come out yet?

    2018: is safe to come out yet?

    Wishing you all Yuletide light, love and blessings. I haven't always marked Yule but over the last few years I have embraced the celebration. It seems so natural to celebrate the end of the short winter days and the coming of the light. 2018 has been a dark year for me and I am more than ready for lighter times. It's that time of year when everyone starts claiming the new year for themselves. I'm not even going to attempt to trump their claims - they can have it. I don't need

Or, if you enjoy anthropomorphic chickens then this is one especially for you. To be honest, you had me at time travelling chickens. The theme of this pocket rocket of a game is an absolute joy. You are a group of chickens who have broken all the rules by fiddling about with time travel causing an
    Co-operative Games: All for One and One for All.

    Co-operative Games: All for One and One for All.

    Cooperative games are a perennial favourite at Cards or Die events. I enjoy them and I wonder whether there's something easier about playing a co-op with a stranger than playing a competitive game. There's certainly an amount of awkwardness in playing games like Coup or Skull where you need to lie to win! Games where in order to win you need to completely destroy your opponent definitely have less of a friendly vibe. The object of a co-operative game is that you work as a tea

    Assembly by Wren Games or 'why you don't want to get stuck in space with me.'

The larger cards work great and it's still portable enough to play on the go. All those stretch goals have meant it has lovely components including a metal die. I upgraded and got extra glitches as well as a play mat and I'm glad I did. I play this game a lot so it's well worth the additional invest
