About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

T is for Toy Fair 2020 Reports - Warcradle Studios - Bill & Ted's EXCELLENT! Adventure!

Or; W is for Way! No Way!

This game was also on show at Toy fair 2020, but was a mock-up; ready for production, it was hoping for orders before the print-run rolls (games are published, toys are manufactured, it's one of those industry 'things'), but it has some lovely figures!

Warcradle Studio's  present Bill & Ted's Riff in Time, which is a very similar mechanism to the game we just looked at (previous post) from Tactic (15 Minutes to Self Destruct), in that Bill and Ted have to rush round the board closing-down the little clock/dials to halt the riff in time and get everything back to normal!

Unlike the unfortunate crew of the SS Nebula, who only had each other to help as a quadripartite, our two hero's here have various people from History (or 'time') to help them in their quest, they also have as long as it takes (I think), or certainly longer than the quarter-of-an-hour over at Tactic!

Figures include the European artillery corporal who caused all those problems around the turn of the nineteenth century, a Mongol war-lord with a bit of a temper, Beethoven (with an electronic piano-violin) and others.

Cards and dice, interactive board, Bill & Ted, what's not to like? I hope it goes into production!
