An attempt to analyse a board game we just got in a Christmas cracker
It was Eurogamer's Christmas Party at the end of last week, and that means that there were Christmas crackers knocking about and we were all showered with magnificent Christmas cracker gifts. Miniature picture frames, miniature screwdriver sets, miniature pens and pencils: by the end of the evening we had pretty much everything we would need to survive a ten-stretch in Mouse Prison. More importantly, though, Jamie Wallace got a miniature board game, which I made him hand over to me in the interests of science. It is called Voyage Game, and it is a document that I believe we will be studying for many years to come.
This is Voyage Game:
Please note, Voyage Game also came with three player pieces and a dice. (A die?) Let HANSARD record that the player pieces were a small red sailboat, a small blue ocean liner and a small yellow aircraft without wings. Do not tell Jamie, but in the interests of science I took these player pieces home and my cats lost two of them. The small blue ocean liner and the yellow aircraft without wings are now missing in action, possibly consumed, in which case you can add Terrible Cat Owner to my rap sheet next to Terrible Friend of Jamie Wallace.
