GAME SPOTLIGHT: Memoir '44

Every so often after a "Saturday Game Night" I'll be sharing what we played. Last evening Andrew and I played "Memoir '44" by Richard Borg and published by "Days of Wonder" (a great company for games - the Parker Brothers of the 21st C). It's a wargame set on the eve of D-Day (which just happens to be when we attack, opps I mean arrive, in the parish of WWPA :-) ). Battles take around 45 mins and two, four or six players can game; I think it's best with two or six. Sher and the littler boys we're not interested as we played another Days of Wonder game the night before: "Ticket to Ride." If you're interested in a light wargame with lots of historic WW2 feel and strategy then this is for you. If you like Columbia Games or the old Avalon Hill "Panzer Leader" or "Panzer Blitz" this is a great replacement with a great intro for your boys or teen friends... girls may not like the war theme (oooo sexist I know).

Intense argument about to arise as Andrew kicked my backside 4 times...
