Bugging-in Boredom blasted away by brilliant Boardgames

The Paracorded Arms.

Sounds like a Japanese gameshow.

A prepper bar would never work, everyone will have bought their beer in bulk before they got there and they'll have a vacuum pack of peanuts in every pocket, you'd be out of business in a week...

You mean like a programme we used to mock 20 years ago but would now be prime time TV ????

There wouldn't be much room for tables either, what with the massive rucksack/jacket storage area.

I've got a vague image of the bar in the first Starwars film in my head for some reason too.

But would anyone actually go to a prepper bar? I mean we're all just normal , sensible people not like those paranoid , gun toting prepping nutters.

One might work in say London or one of the other big cities, but anywhere else there probably wouldn't be enough people locally to make it work.
You'd also have to keep in mind many preppers are cautious people, making themselves obvious by going to say the preppers bar and "showing out" could potentially identify them or even make them a target. Depending on how careful they are.

I wasn't exactly serious, it wouldn't exactly be my scene either, unless they were showing the football.

Funny I have more a vision of the Slaughtered Lamb from American Werewolf in London.

And if your team starts loosing we'd be replacing the coax due to sulk inflicted leatherman damage every game

I'm not sure being able to count to 12 (or 24 if you take your clogs and socks off) is something to be proud off.

Ooft I'm used to the mighty Dee getting spanked, its character building.....apparently.

I can certainly vouch for Carcasonne and Talisman as good fun family strategy-based games, not too much for kids (at least mid-primary school up) to grasp.
(Carcassone has several expansion packs to vary things).

Worth having a few old ones like Risk, Scrabble and Monopoly - they don't take up much space. Oh, and get plenty of spare dice!

There are really so many board games that most people don't know about it - it is worth visiting a specialist shop or gaming convention or making friends with someone who is into games in that way (a few of my friends are real board game geeks and it's great!)

In addition, cards and dice must be the ultimate in low space, high playability! I recently found myself googling the rules of cribbage at around the time of some power cuts, and it occurred to me that a book of card/dice games would be an excellent prep.
