Many apologies - force of habit to react to the spellchecker! I'll go back & fix...

In that case I'll be delaying my pilgrimage to Carcassonne (I meant to go about twelve years ago while on a Rugby trip to Toulouse, long before I'd heard of the game) until later in the year or 2019! 3

Only just got into Carcassonne, but really enjoying it. Just own the basics at the moment - base game, T&B, River 2 & The Count. Last two bought for aeshetics. Glad that my Boy actually asks to play as he's normally buried in iPad/iPhone/X-Box, the last of which was given to him by a friend upgrading his console & before my Wife & I could say no.
Otherwise it's London Irish Rugby, coaching Mini-Rugby & cookery. I also got back into model railways a few years back, which then led to general model building. I'm stalled a bit on a model of a Chieftain tank that I Commanded in Germany back in the early '90s. Latest fad is painting 28mm wargaming figures with a focus on 17th century stuff. Finally I started having acupuncture last year for health reasons. That has led to practising Tai Chi, in turn to Zhang Zhuang (basically exercising by standing completely still in a series of complex postures - harder than it sounds) & Daoist meditation. My first go at the last was astonishing, never thought I would sit/kneel completely still for 45 minutes! 4

I've only played two-player with The Boy. The basic stuff is Imperials vs Rebels, & then I believe there are Bounty Hunter additions (we have a SLAVE-1) which could make a third force. The counters are marked with pilot names/ship numbers so guess it would be possible to have a big melee with more than three players. 5

In its most basic form (two TIE Fighters & an X-Wing) & using quick start rules it can be played just about straight from the box. In fact the day I bought it I did. My wife's car broke down in a Costco car park so we took shelter at their "cafe", ordered pizza & The Boy & I played there & then... 6

I'm relatively handy for Oxford. Please let me know if another of these events happens, it would be great to learn from some experienced players!
