Title: Captain Darling & the Pig Tickler Tournament!
Post by: Captain Darling on 09 March 2024, 11:45:33 AM

It is 1892 the height of the Victorian Steam Age and Captain Darling finds himself involved in the Annual Pig Tickler Tournament!

Pictured on a cricket oval near one of the sight screens in St James Park close to Wellington Barracks Captain Darling 'in uniform' prepares for the upcoming Pig Tickler Tournament!

...and eventually (once I finish a bit more scenery and get some suckers in for a game) there'll be a blow by blow AAR of the Tournament available to peruse!

A great game! I discovered it at a small con in Massachusetts 15 or 20 years ago! Colorful and whimsical! I love it!

Awesome blast from the past, Cap'n!

Never got to play, but fond memories of hearing about it. Mind, I was certains shocked at hearing of less than sportsman behaviours!

I was momentarily daunted by the Pick Tickler Tournament until I realized the reference to the exclusivity of enter. A few fewer years and less poundage, I might have challenged you for the honour!

Still, pip pip.

Definitely a retro moment.
I bought mine possibly at Salute when it was at  Olympia from GZG.
