- Top ten games of 2004
- The second biggest question of the Christmas season.
- New mancala sets
- Postage dates
At this time of year even the most enthusiastic
games player can be exhausted by the question of what to try
this Christmas or what to buy for friends and loved ones and
there’s one question we get asked more than any other:
“What can I play with the whole family?”
Having spent the year attempting to entice you all into trying
new games I too am exhausted, so instead of thinking up my
own recommendations I’ve found the top ten games of
this year and gathered them together in a new section imaginatively
titled top ten games this year. So if you want a recommendation
you know it’s coming from the most discerning group
of games players out there, people like you.
The second biggest question of the month is
always:
“What’s a light present that I can post to the
people that aren’t here”
The answer is …cards. But if you thought that cards
came only in sets of fifty two then think again. Some of the
world’s best designers use card laying as the mechanism
for their games creating challenging strategy games for adults
that are light to post and practically unbreakable. I’ve
put some of our modern card games up on the website and given
them the title smaller strategy games. Traditional and classic
card games are still in our card games section I’ve
added some of our nicely finished twin packs that will make
good gifts for card players and we still have a whole page
devoted to Britain’s old favourite; cribbage.
Our basic mancala set has been withdrawn, but
there is a new board for sale to replace it, we also have
a new mancala for kids game where you move round the little
animals.
The last posting date for standard parcels is
the 15th December and the last date for the second class post
is the 18th. Please remember that we need time to process
your order and send it out and that some games may not be
immediately in stock. Things do come and go very quickly at
this time of year and we really don’t want to disappoint
anybody.
As ever, if you have any enquiries, get in touch.
Yours,
