Hi Guys. Tried out my first game of Geezers Shut It. Thoroughly enjoyable. Here are some piccies and a very brief report.

Chief Inspector George Bentley arrives home from work. He spotted a car with two occupants parked off road opposite his driveway. He went in to phone the local police station only to discover his phone line had been cut.


Two masked gunmen arrived at the front door demanding Bentley to come outside. (Not Bleedin likely Son!)


Bentley's young Son was hiding behind the garden shed and managed to hit one of the thugs with a stone from his catapult before sprinting unseen down the hill to the phone box.
("It's time to help Dad and call the fuzz on the blower")




After a short while an area car arrived on scene. Bentley's Son ran up hill and let all the tires down on the getaway car. (The little rotter!)


After a brief exchange of shots, the game was up and arrests were made. In court, one of the little toe rags managed to get off scott free.... God knows how! A very enjoyable game. Anyone interested in the good old ways of the law back in the 70's when police actually did a good job and didn't tickle the criminals like today..... Then Geezers Shut It rules are a must.

Excellent. I hope Bentley bought his son a new Chopper bike for doing so well.

Luvverly little game. I need another gaming period like a hole in the head, but it is certainly tempting when seeing games with such a small model count provide so much fun...  :-*
