And now for something completely different. Back from UK Games Expo. Roundhouse Kick had very nice welcome, thank you!

Actually, let this post be dedicated to UKGE 2013 award winners, as we recently played couple of those. String Railway first. The overall idea is quite bizarre - building tracks with ropes - but it's lots of fun. Several stations have capacity limits so you may suddenly discover that there is only one station (built by yourself) within the reach of your track. String Railway is also fast to play, 30-45 minutes, so it's a train-themed game within reasonable timeframe.

And another award winner we tried is Forbidden Desert. Based on success of Forbidden Island, this sequel is almost non-comparable in terms of replayability and difficulty modes. And I haven't laughed so much for a long time, as I did while playing this game. Played three times, lost every game. Of course at the start of first game I suggested that let's not start with legendary difficulty level but a bit less - elite. That was quick. Next play: ok, perhaps we should decrease difficulty to normal? Another quick game (a bit longer, though). Third attempt: novice level. This time we ALMOST succeeded... bloody sandstorms, I say... :-)
