Ive still yet to go to bovington tank museum though cos i massive obsession for tanks.

"Well tbh geek kinda got appropriated by the kids who were into harry potter and comic con but had never read a comic book in their life. The real geeks of old got relegated to being nerds and dorks. So i just lump all 3 together in the same catagory cos its silly trying to separate their meanings | |||

"Does a board game geek count? " Are we talking Cluedo or Arkham Horror 
I'm (male half) definitely the geeky one. Work in IT, love a good gadget (more Raspberry Pi than exploding pen), find history interesting, play videogames, boardgames etc.
Slowly dragging C into the geeky depths too though  | |||

Slowly dragging C into the geeky depths too though "It's all about monopoly of course  nah I prefer mansions of madness over Arkham horror. Others include taverns of tiefenthal, Istanbul, porta Rico, mysterium and an unhealthy obsession with ticket to ride despite the fact it is nothing like most games I like!
I tried doing some bits with the raspberry pi but I have a hate hate relationship with tech | |||

To be fair, we're both relatively new to boardgaming. We have regular board game nights with some friends though, and they've got dozens
We tried a pretty simple game last night called The Mind. Unexpectedly pretty good fun for a game where you put numbered cards in order. | |||

Sometimes the simple ones are the best, especially if you're trying to get non-gamers involved. Ticket to ride is particularly good for exactly that! The game play itself is simple and easy to pick up within a few rounds of playing. Power grid is another good one for getting new players hooked, it's simple but still enjoyable for seasoned players. Takenoko is another one I'll throw in there as it's super cute, the art work is great and simple enough for getting new players on board | |||

Sure they'll have Ticket To Ride though (it's on our list to pick up). Have you ever played Scythe? We really enjoy it, but it's a bit of a slog to set up and learn. | |||

I'm... Kinda pants at pvp games, so tend to like a good co-op to spare my poor ago. Been playing a lot of Shards of Infinity with C, but she spanks me and that's just not on! Also surely to goodness no one actually buys 'Quacks of quidlingburd'? It'll break every site search out there
So, we've done I think 3 escape rooms together, and I've done one prior to that. Not exactly seasoned experts it has to be said. How's about yourself? Are you writing from one right now? Are... You stuck? | |||

"I'm a bit of a WW2 geek... Love visiting museums, although in London I've only been to thw War Museum and Science Museum, I've yet to visit the Natural History Museum. Bovington is on my to do list however up on the North Norfolk coast we have the Muckleborough Collection, a small tank museum with one of the few fully working German 88's." You should try the British army museum in London. Fabulous place. | |||

So, if we get stuck in any escape rooms, we can give you a call to get us out? Think we'd have to get you on speed dial though 'cos we really aren't great 
I'm too lazy and don't wanna concentrate for long (do that for a living heh), so I'm probably the most useless of the group. Usually get given the task of finding any of the items in the rooms | |||
