SPOILERS Guards! Guards! a Discworld Boardgame

[Beautiful Dirt]

Hmm will probably buy that. Me and my partner used to come in from the local metal club and play Thud! at 3am in the morning. Come to think of it I barely remember the rules!

The prototype arrived to day so I get to test it, got to say the picture cards done by Stephen Player are awesome

A bit of nitpicking here: YMMV when it comes to Mr Player's art. Personally I think he is making characters too ugly for their own good.

Each to their own I say

I was never a massive fan of Josh Kirbys style and preferred Paul's over any other artist but credit to Stephen they do look pretty decent, I will be doing a 3 part look at the game later this week or early next week and will post so close up pics of the artwork for you to look over.

Well I am buzzing right now as I have been asked by the game makers if I would like to play test one of the prototypes, which I said yes to, so I am awaiting delivery of the prototype game and will be reviewing it on my site new week hopefully.

So I would like to know if anyone would like to meet up to test the game with me. I live in South Yorkshire.

That is awfully tempting, I also live in South Yorkshire. Which bit are you from?

Afraid not, I sent it back last week and it is now heading to South Africa for the Discworld Convention there.

Ah well

I played Guards! Guards! last night with some friends. We didn't complete the game because we ran out of time.

We felt it played a lot better than we expected and will try to play it again next week.

I saw it, and the other DW boardgame in a games shop window in Cardiff the other day.

You don't realise where the time goes when you play it.
