Brian Meet the Team Interests

What’s been your Bush’s Board Game Thing highlight?

When I manage to win a game by using mind games.

What's your favourite game and why?

Jaws as you get to be the shark.

What is the last board game that you played?

Labyrinth with my kids. They beat me most times.

What’s your earliest gaming memory?

Ghost Castle. Kids these days have it too easy. All we needed was a glow in the dark skull to keep us entertained. TBH the entertainment was mainly from looking for the glow in the dark skull which would roll of the board almost instantly.

If you had to be a board game, what would you be and why?

Buckaroo. I TOO LIKE EATING SUGAR CUBES OUT OF PEOPLE’S HANDS AND WILL KICK YOU IF YOU SNEAK UP ON ME FROM BEHIND. 

Do you have an unpopular board game opinion?

Here is a formula that cannot be disproven.

T + (KSU x AOR) ≠< EFK

“The time (T) spent setting up Kerplunk (KSU) plus (+) times (x) arguing over the rules (AOR) will never be equal to (≠) and therefore always less than (<) the enjoyment you will gain from playing Kerplunk (EFK)  

And finally, in honour of Brian’s Board Game Fact of the Week, what is your best board game fact?   

Captain Kirk and Spock played Chess three times during the Star Trek series and Kirk won all three. WHERE’S UR LOGIC NOW SPOCK?
