inconsequential ruminations

A minimalist blog, with a pretentious title, about strategy games.

Chris Brooks and Family

with 5 comments

We met up with Chris Brooks and family on Friday morning and had breakfast in Russell Square. They are doing a lightning tour of Europe, so it was really nice of Chris to spare the time. His boys are growing up – Jacob is almost as tall as Chris.

Chris wasn’t impressed with the selection at Playing Games. It just goes to show how much bigger the hobby is in the US - as that’s the best shop I have found in the UK.

It was great to finally meet someone I have corresponded with over several years. When we next meet I hope we will have enough time to play some games.

  1. Leisure Games in Finchley is far better than Playin Games. I thnk the range at Playing Games is getting worse and worse recently.

  2. Thanks for the tip. I have never visited Leisure Games, as it’s a long way from Chiswick, but I’ll have to make the effort the next time I go north.

  3. The selection in Playin Games has dramatically decreased in the last few weeks. Either they’re having problems with suppliers or they’re running down stock.

  4. Iain, thanks for taking the time to meet with us. Come out to Oregon sometime so we can return the favor!

  5. Hi Chris. We would love to. Your photos of Oregon look wonderful. Playing a few games would be fun too…
