To calm the chess wars down I propose all parties involved back down and work together and join me, the Dungeon Master, for a quick game (lets say 3 or 4 weeks) of Dungeons & Dragons.

Surely the most pointless and over-complicated waste of oxygen ever. Played it once. Reading the rules for about 2 hours before the game with drunk friends, rolled a 50-sided dice a couple of times only to die without even entering the first cave. Lasted about 5 minutes. Threw my wizard hat away in disgust.

What’s really disappointing is you open this box with lavish artwork of dragon and scantily dressed lady to find a rule book, one die/dice and a cheap crayon. WTF.

Have you never played Bottomgammon?
Love a slice of gammon, me.
Chess is the Joan Bakewell whereas Backgammon is Samantha Fox..
(Bleddy foxes get everywhere)

We got the Family Edition of Trivial Pursuit out earlier. There are separate questions for kids and adults. 10-y-o beat me three games to nil. 🧐
