A brief report today, mainly because I forgot my camera, so had to resort to the old iPad…! We’ve been playing about with scenario-based ‘Legends of the Old West’ games, mainly so I could make sure I was happy that the system was suitable for large multi-player games at the club, and would be easy…

I will post some updates as and…
