Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The internet never ceases to amaze me. 3 hours of watching a bloke open boxes. Seriously?! It’s no wonder the world is in such a mess.

I would recomment this if you can find it, I got mine via Kickstarter.

Fire Tower (2019) boardgamegeek.com is very enjoyable for a quick (30 mins) "take that" style game. The expansion has the advantage of keeping players who have lost in the game by offering a different method of winning. Zatu have had it in the past but it's Out of Stock at the moment.

It has simple rules, easy to teach, quick, difficult to master and once you've played it a few times, you can help novice players by allowing fire defences during setup (house rule). Also good for non gamers, easy concept and because it is a "take that" style game allows people to create alliances to attack stronger, more experienced players.

There are 2 groups of Youtube vids, one instructional from the designer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VW2w0i7B2F0, the other from a playthrough from them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i5m-amu0DA.

Not sure why the hyperlinks to youtube didnt work but I'm sure you can cut and paste for yourself if you are interested.

Might be because of the attached punctuation marks messing with the links.

I’ll have a look later. Would be good to have something alongside Pandemic in my 2021 games selection 😂

Lesson learnt. Right up until next time when my punctuation OCD kicks in and screws up another forum board. Have fun Fetchies.
