    It is very elaborate in production. The game itself is quite simple - but the strategies are complex. Basically you have a bunch of resources - some of them corrupt - and you have to make the most money building Cleopatra's palace. Corrupt resources are more useful, but whoever is the most corrupt at the end of the game gets thrown to the crocodiles - no matter how rich they are!
    Another fine game from the makers of Ticket to Ride Europe (a game I'll never turn down a chance to play).

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese
