Description
Dave was up for anything and gamely played them at whatever they chose. He played some classics - Monopoly Scrabble dominoes and cribbage. He played many games he'd never heard of before - Khet Kubb Tikal or Smite anyone?
He played board games and physical games. He's thrown sticks balls frisbees and darts. He's rolled dice and he's drawn cards.
From Liverpool to Hampstead and from Croydon to Nottingham Dave travelled the length and breadth of Britain meeting strangers in strange places - their homes at work in the back rooms of pubs - and getting some hardcore game action. From casual players to serious game geeks from the rank amateur to the world champion he discovered a nation of gamers more than happy to welcome him into their midst.
He's travelled all around the country and met all sorts of people - and it turns out us Brits are a competitive bunch. And it seems that playing games can teach you a lot about what makes the British tick. Of course Dave hasn't been keeping score. Much.
