(Not Moderated)
This group is for general unmoderated discussion of board game playing
in the UK. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Tactics and hints on play;
- Conventions and Events, Competitions and Contests;
- Questions on Rules;
- Finding Opponents, both face-to-face and keyboard-to-keyboard;
- [Requests for] Reviews of and comments on games;
- Finding and Selling games, especially out-of-print ones, & prices.
The use of the term "board" is used loosely. It is intended to cover
traditional 'family' games (Monopoly, Cluedo, Scrabble), classics
(Chess, Backgammon, Go), games played by hobbyists (Acquire, 18xx,
Railway Rivals), abstract games (Abalone, Quarto), board-wargames
(World in Flames, etc. etc.) and those games that are not strictly
board games but are played by the same people (6 Nimmt, Family
Business, etc.).
It is *not* for discussing computer/video games except where these are
derivatives of established board-based games; nor for discussion of
traditional card games (Bridge, Poker), trading-card games (Magic: The
Gathering, STTNGCCG), war games involving minatures, or role-playing
games.
