Joan's bought that last week. We've only played one case so far, but it took a couple of evenings.
Did you like it? How did you do with the case? We didn't come close to Sherlocks score but we got all the questions right, mainly I think because by the time we decided we'd solved it we'd basically followed every lead

Back in Wales for the weekend so did some board gaming. Played Forbidden Island with my sister and brother-in-law; we smashed it to pieces. Bought King Of New York and had our first game of that with The Egg and Mrs The Eg; thought that was great. Then played a round of Forbidden Island with TE and MTE but lost it on (quite literally) a single card turn – we pretended it hadn't happened and played the game out to victory to check. That game is cruel, although far less brutal than Pandemic.
I've not played Forbidden Island but I watched the tabletop episode with Forbidden Desert on it and it looks cool. It's on my wishlist and it seems to be great value for money as well. I've played King of Tokyo and enjoyed it, do you know if King of New York is the same?
For Discworld fans, there is a game out called Discworld Ankh Morpork that is rated 7.2/10 on bgg and receives lots of great reviews. Since Sir Terry's death, the publisher hasn't been able to renew the licence and so the game is going to go out of print. It may be renewed at a later date but currently, the copies available to buy right now may be the last. It was on my wishlist so I was really disappointed to hear this and then this weekend I was gifted a copy! If you fancy one for yourself, it available at amazon
here for £75(!) because stock is starting to run low. It's also available at Waterstones for £29.99 and apparently they are experiencing a bit of a run on it as people find out it's going out of print so if you like the sound of it, it may be worth picking up. I've not played it yet so can't offer my opinion but as far as I know, it's a hidden role area control game and plays well with 2, 3 or 4 players.
