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, and haven't looked back since.

My preference is for medium-weight games, ones tactical rather than strategic, co-operative or competitive rather than confrontational, eyes-up rather than eyes-down. See my 'Hot 10' list for my favourite games new in 2008, and my 'Top 10' for my favourites published in 2007. Check out my game ratings for an idea of my all-time stars, but being a fanatical Cultist of the New, there's always an 11 just about to be published.

My Gallery contains some pictures of my game collection at various times over the years. Sadly, my non-gaming wife takes no pleasure from this treasure hoard, and my daughters find few of my games to their taste.

Some would argue (well, my wife does) that I have too many games, and I should have a 1-in-1-out policy. Well, I am offering some for trade, but (apologies!) I don't want to post to addresses outside Europe.

I record all my games & expansions played, though I haven't always included those played with my family. I seldom play on-line, so they are almost all face-to-face.
