Shop, shop

Last Saturday I made a long anticipated pilgrimage to the mighty Leisure Games in North London. This trip was a late birthday present to myself and three of my gaming pals came along for the ride.

It's an hour and a half drive to the shop from where I live. Thankfully, the drive into London went very smoothly and we arrived with no problems. How joyous it is to spend some quality mooching time in a game shop.














I soon accumulated a nice little pile of goodies. First thing I grabbed was Zombies!!! This is a game which is apparently owned by everyone I know so now I have joined the club. I'm sure my wife and daughter will enjoy sending hordes of hungry zombies my way. Along the same lines, I also picked up a copy of Munchkin. Another one for the family to play. Finally, I picked up some RPG books including Fate Core and Accelerated, Fate Dice and the Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion. Last but not least, I finally picked up a copy of Classic Car Wars.

This little lot will keep me busy for some time to come. Thank you Leisure Games!
