Do you like games? I do, I like games. I don’t mean LARP or Wii and X-box games that involve staring at a tv screen but what I think of as proper games; games that come in a box, have a board you play on and pieces that move around the board and that involve interacting with other people. You’ll know they involve interacting because there’s a ‘mom’ and dad and two darling children pictured on the box all excitedly playing. So, I’m thinking about ‘Monopoly’, ‘Cluedo’, ‘MouseTrap’, ‘Labyrinth’, ‘C …

It is sadly with great regret that I must pass on the not-so-great news that at the end of this month, the Classical Game Shop is to close, permanently. While I cannot go into detail as to why this course of action must take place, it is safe to say that when online sales strip the shop sales on such a regular basis, the case for having a bricks-and-mortar store quickly becomes difficult to maintain. While I am disappointed the shop must close, it really is the gaming groups that are wheat made …
