Christmas Gaming Goodies

Does my family know me or what? First up is a resin suspension bridge from (wait for it) Pet Smart. Some of the best gaming terrain I have found in local pet stores usually in the aquarium section. Everything from ancient temples, jungle bushes and now this bridge, it is a great way for a gamer to game on a budget with fantastic terrain.

 The entire bridge - perfect scale for 25 - 28 mm scale (or a little bigger).

I don't play as many board games as I used too, but my Beautiful Bride (Minister of Finance and Chief of Staff), my five sons and three beautiful daughters-in-law love to play them. I must admit, I am a Munchkin fanatic and own about 8 different versions of the game: Everything from the Wild West to Steam Punk to the Apocalypse. And now . . . (drum roll please) . . . Munchkin Warhammer 40,000. One of the endearing qualities of the Munchkin games are the inside jokes, and when I saw the "New Paint Job" go up one level, I almost died laughing. I highly recommend the Munchkin games - you are in for a treat.

Last but not least is Small World. I guess my family was keeping this one a big secret because is appears all of them have played it and are twisting my arm about the game. Looking forward to having some fun.

We usually have a big X-Wing game at Christmas with the boys but I missed out this year but trust me, I will be battling soon. Here is a picture Honorable Son #2 (The Captain) took of the game with his new X-Wing gaming mat that his Beautiful Bride (The Future Lawyer) gave him for Christmas. (Who says the geeks don't get the girls?)

Great gaming mat for X-Wing.

Well, now that we have a new bridge, it's time to start gaming!
