I've liked games all my life, but only became aware of the Eurogame hobby in 2003. I played some AD&D at university, a little Diplomacy since, but computer games (mainly first person shooters) have been the main geeky interest during my adult years. Shortly after I fell out of love with FPSs I discovered Boardgamegeek and the Swiggers club in London (

My preference is for medium-weight games, ones tactical rather than strategic, competitive rather than confrontational, eyes-up rather than eyes-down. That said, I'm always keen to play something new, and I'm a sucker for an eBay bargain. Here's the major part of my collection ... (large image, sorry):

Sadly, my non-gaming wife takes no pleasure from this treasure hoard, and my daughters find few of my favourite games to their taste.
