The other week, my boardgame group played Reiner Knizia's latest tile-laying wonder, Rebirth, set in an optimistic post-apocalyptic Scotland.

Great gameplay and lovely pieces made from recycled wood waste instead of the typical plastic.

Recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed this funny, lyrical gem of a book. All of the Darkland Tales have been great but this might be my favourite.

A magic day for climbing up snowy/icy Dumyat! ☀️ Treacherous in places but well worth the effort.

Tae celebrate the recent release ae Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 + 2 Remastered by @aspyr.com, here's a wee extract fae ma novel manuscript "The Big Hoose". A gemme thit Ah ayewis covetit fae afaur and noo Ah'm auld enough tae play it! 😉
He and Ally huv awreadie planned oot whit filums thull watch, which gemmes thull play. Ally drapped by his bit tae pick up his Playstation kiz he's wantin tae show Lewis this new gemme about vampires. Soul Reaver it's cawed. The wee blue ELSPA boax oan the back are the case showed a reid cross against ages 3-10 and 11-14, sae it's basically a 15! Looks pure scary anaw. Thair's no mony scary gemmes oan the N64 kiz it's mair fur weans wae Mario and that, even though Mario's guid but naebdy wants tae hear it, they jist want tae play scary gemmes and gory gemmes.
