I think the crowds on the day were seriously mpressed with your 'wee board' judging from the remarks I overheard whilst having another dribble over it myself.

It was 2 deep around the thing all day (trust me on this!) at least.  Very popular board.  Good day for the survivors as they won every game (although Thelma, Deirdre, spooky and poor Misty) all took turns in being zombie chow.
Everyone who saw the board loved all the little details.  I was still spotting stuff on it at the end of the day when packing it up.  Really glad I was allowed to look after it for the day. :D
It was a shame you didn't get a game in though, would have been great.  What route would you have tried to get to Crooked Towers?
Smile!  It's not that bad!

It seems James Bonds a really bad driver!


Judging from the crowd (the minis on the table), maybe James went out on a limb *pardon the pun* to save a lass or two, just is his customary thing to do?

It's one beautiful board  :-* I wonder what has happened to all local Londoners, as the zeds seem to be from the countryside ;)

I think I would have done Mister Bonds tactic, Grab a car and drive it straight up and through Crooked Towers window!

Fantastic board and I thoroughly enjoyed my game on it. I took the Shaky Gang and although I lost Dierdre early on to a ravenous Zombie onslaught the rest of the Gang went on a Zombie Bashing rampage and made it to Crooked Towers leaving a wake of mutilated rotters!!!

Again brilliant game and the Board has got to be one of the best samll interactive terrain pieces I have seen.

I fancied giving it a go, but it was always busy whenever I was anywhere near. I only just about managed to squeeze in to take a photo from one direction. I wanted one from the underground entrance direction as well but could never get near.
Got the 7th Voyage rules (and had a quick read on the coach home on Sunday) and the extra Minions I wanted - so it wasn't all wasted in hanging about near the Crooked Dice stand.

I've edited that line for you. ;D

glad you enjoyed playing on it!  Think I remember your game (but its all a bit of a blur to be honest)  Slow start to try and clear some undead out of the way, quick realisation that in that way the gang would get munched and then a fast sprint across the middle of the board?  Apologies if I'm wrong :)

 :D  Not the bubble car then?  I'd have suggested the Mini but don't reckon that one works (definately my favourite moveable terrain peice on the board (although the whole damn thing is awesome!)

Deathjester - you didn't have Deathjester Jnr with you to ensuring rolling a six everytime! Great to see you on Saturday though. And glad everyone enjoyed the boards and their games :)
