Miniature painting

Its my new other hobby: Miniature painter. If add all miniature from all boardgames I own about 500+minatures (only Age of Mythology are 200) play with those miniatures painted give another felling of the game. Things turn more intersting.Everything started at www.redomanet.com when I saw some threads of boardgame collectors showing their miniatures painted. After weeks articles had been released about painting skills and this month I decided buy all the stuff and get started.
My first project is Gears of War - Boardgame, I'm almost finishing the game and left only 20% of all to have done. But with anothers 80% I have already put game on table and loved how everything turn out.

A duel night

Last night I was in my friend's house and we played 5 games of AC The Search. I show my build (the first edition without expansion cards) and taught the rules in about 5 minutes.

The first game he won playing as Crimanal. After that he decided only play as Police and there he touch in my weakness. I have just played as Criminal one or two times. Anyway he won the second game but in the third and fourth game I could won. Making the score 3x2 this night.

We also figure out some issues like:

-If a criminal card was in a corner and the police put 2 barrels in adjacents cards. What criminal should do ?

-If the criminal use the On step ahead card to make the criminal and come back being in out of range of police.

I'll update this post with some photos soon. I'm making courage to write more reports and reviews (Firsts reviews will be in portuguese in posted on BGG)

I'll download again the files of the new edition of this game to see what it will change and play against him again. Is also important to say that he is another friend of mine that loved the game in the first time that he saw it.

Postcard Exchange

Hello folks.

One of my hobbys is games. I like so much play by myself or with a great group of friends and I think that games have more than fun and entertainment, they give to us best moments with friends. So, about games I usually play board games. here in Brazil we have a famous board game called War that I always play with my game group, but we also like to play foreign games like Citadels, Cthulinária (a re-design of Cthul-B-Que) and other games.

I'm a user of two board game forum. The first is Ilha do Tabuleiro a brazilian forum and the second is BoardGameGeek. In this second one I joined in a postcard exchange to share postcards around the world. I received two and had to sent two to other users from the BGG forum. This ideia its awesome, I love other cultures, know about other countrys and put my hands in a thing that travel across the world its fantastic.

So I share with you a picture of post card from Jonh Michael and Krist both from USA. Hugs and peaces for you two.

Ah, before I forget, this picture below is the postcards that I designed for my friends. It is hidden, I know, but they deserve a surprise.
