Read it again - Board Game Babble 85

Rules. The important part of a game. They are actually the game. But are you like me, fed up of reading them over and over because you have forgotten them or they are too complex or because you haven’t played the game in a while (that's more me)? So we are now going to babble about rules. Should they be complex? Should they be standardised? Should they all be made so the players can jump right in? Or should they be something we have to trawl through to get to the heart?

As time goes by, more and more games are getting the “anniversary edition” or a “Kickstarter deluxe edition”. These games are evidently nicer versions of the original games and come in larger boxes. And we list our favorite big box games.

Things have been very different this year and for some a very difficult time, it’s time to shed some light on things that have passed. As a light of new things that will very possibly come again.
