recently my dad had another series of paintings which i feel is very very colorful and very suitable for our home i think :) here are the 2 pieces we thought are excellent.. the top one is my preference and the lower one is wifey's :)
you can see more of his works of art here
Last night on Earth... a board game based on the Zombie theme. Was quite fun once we got the hang of things but by then the time is up and we have to go back to office. I am intrigued :p Lotsa nice goodies to look @ (pictures are great) and if there are 6 players, its 4 survivors against 2 zombie players.

:) a school fren of mine has released his jazz album! so cool. A bunch of us managed to meet up over the weekend and we chatted from 11+ to abt 2+ am. Luckily location was nearby so wasnt too bad for me. Lotsa fun. Will be more fun again when we go to HK and meet up with hanjin and Steve! hehehhe..
Oh n the wifey has a new mac toy to play with! But i'll let her blog about it :D
here's my current wish list:
1) Arkham horror
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15987
this board game is a cooperative one (even single player can play) and its all to do with banding together and trying to defeat several incidents in the play area before the BIG BOSS appears. Failing that, we will have to defeat the BIG BOSS himself. WIth lots of expansions, this should have lots of replayability...
2) Settlers of Catan
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13
This is not a new game, but has been one of the better games around. Maybe its about time i got it :) Basically you are to compete against the other players to be the first to score 10 points via building of roads + villages + towns and by means of collecting resources based on where you placed your villages / towns. Quite fun but will require the expansion for more pple to play.
3) Power Grid
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2651
i've never played this game before but have seen it around... our next bg cafe visit i will definitely try to get my colleagues to play this :p
4) Last Night on Earth
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/29368
recently with my purchase of Left 4 Dead, i'm intrigued by zombie games. There's another called ZOMBIES
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31464
which has tons of expansion.... maybe its time we tried one of these horror genres...
5) Ticket to Ride
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9209
This game is also quite popular and has a website from the producer which you can play online as well. Its quite a good game though the setup can be slightly tedious but nevertheless, an easy to learn game.
6) Galaxy Trucker
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31481
my cousin mentioned this game to me and basically its about building a capable spaceship and trying to haul as much goods as u can to win. Quite interesting but not a high priority :)
7) Talisman 4th Edition
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27627 ah.... this game brings back fond memories. Its like WoW in boardgame format :) but quite expensive though... still with the right mindset players, will be fun!
8) Roborally
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/18
ooo ... 2-8 players! and its about robots! enugh said :p
9) Shadows over Camelot
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15062
we played this before. the game is that we are all knights of the round table and we are to go out and protect Camelot. But among one of us is a traitor who needs to prevent us from winning... grrr.....
10) Acquire
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5
i played this with wifey + bro-in-law + su en and it was quite fun! the pieces looks nice and the game concept is refreshing
11) Ingenious
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5
i heard this game is good.. but i never tried before... so... :)
12) Pirate's Cove
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2987
played it. loved it. cant wait to have it
so yesterday i had a whale of a time playing lotsa board games from 2+pm onwards till abt 10 :p
we played
:guillotine
:rocketville
:pickpicknic
:bohnanza
:blokus
Yay! hope you guys enjoyed playing them as much as i did!
ehhehee... its good to find a grp of frens that likes to play boardgames as much as me..
now to see what else to buy :p
yes Rocketville! This game i bought for some time already but never had the chance to try it out. Today with a spontaneous visit from Celest + Dylan, we had a nice time playing Blokus and Rocketville (in between there was swimming + doggie training + doggie bathing)
The game's a bit of a mixture between pickpicknick and For Sale and is quite a fun game to play.
Lets see if we can organise these wkend board game sessions more often!
Fun fun Fun!
