Lochenvar

I've got a free code for Think of the Children, if anyone wants it. More available here: DM me for codes.

Do they have an online store, or is it shops only?

Mrs Lochenvar found a mint copy of Patchwork in the local charity shop. Paid the princely sum of £1.50 for it.

That's Carla, not Claire. Hmm...I might watch too much of the test kitchen.

I didn't realise there had already been a book out with new translator. Anyone know how it was, compared to Anthea Bell's work?

It looks like it's still running, if anyone hasn't taken advantage of it yet: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/xbox-game-pass/CFQ7TTC0KHS0/0007?activetab=pivot:overviewtab The other day, MS were even advertising the fact you could load up on Live or Game Pass months before converting, calling it a 'life hack'. So they must be getting a ton of new subs out of it.

Pandemic is absolutely brilliant - a modern classic for a good reason. And it's a great co-op game, so your GF may really like it because of that. My wife and I don't do loads of competitive stuff, so we've played a lot of co-ops in our time. Can't play base Pandemic any more though: she plays about ten games a day of the ipad version and so doesn't like the way I play the board version: too slow and don't make the right decisions. If you find you like it, have a look at Pandemic Legacy, which is Pandemic with a story campaign. Stick with the base one for a while though.

Yeah, soon you'll end up with cupboards like this: (there's games in a couple of the drawers as well) And we have the occasional cull too.

Yes, that one works fine - it's the one I bought when I did the Game Pass deal.

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the help, I'm now set with Ultimate until May 2022.

Yes, the EU one works okay, I took a punt

It's all a bit hectic.

The EU one is still listed as £38.99. Is the UK classed as EU for this purpose?

Where's the best place to get a gold code now? CDKeys seems to be having problems with sending out used codes, and other places are out of stock. They're all putting their prices up too, cunning buggers.
