2010 gaming resolutions - Volunteers required PT1

In 2010 with your help I will try to:

Space Alert: Play all training scenarios + 1 missions
This is quite an unusual game, in that its is a cooperative game where players work together against a timer to plan a course of action which will see them safely through all kinds of star trek style hazards, Only by successfully communicating and team work will the mission succeed.
The game comes with a CD sound track which acts as the timer and give info on the various threats. Not one for those of a nervous disposition.
A crew of 5 is required for a hour of galactic exploration
Kubb (pronounced Koob) -Spend a leisurely day in the park/ on the beach playing
This is one for when the weather gets a bit better. Think bouls with some extra strategy.
The game is of Viking origin and is slowly becoming popular across Europe. We managed to get a game in at new year it was great fun in the snow but i think this will excel on a sunny summers day.




Shogun - Get a few games in.
This is one of my favourite games, which unfortunately hasn't had much table time recently. A crafty blend of war game, area control, resource and risk management. Then there is the unique cube tower for resolving battles that is great fun.
5 feudal warlords needed for a couple of hours



Carrom (2 Players) Get some casual games played with a beer.
Finger Pool. The board currently is hanging on the living room wall. This one deserves to be taken down for a flick or 2 this year.


Part 2 to follow next week

So if any of these take your fancy let me know an I can start ticking off some of these resolutions.
