\\u2018Ello \\u2018ello \\u2018ello, wot\\u2019s going on \\u2018ere then? Looks and sounds like there are three english men crammed inside one english cupboard talking about a series of \\u201cboard games\\u201d from who knows where. That\\u2019s a recipe for disease-based disaster right there. City of the Big Shoulders? You\\u2019re certainly crammed shoulder-to-shoulder in here, though one of you is a bit smaller than the others. I\\u2019ve heard it\\u2019s as good an economic euro as any, though I, for one, prefer my commodity speculation games a little less beige. Last Bastion? I\\u2019ve heard that one\\u2019s a pretty dandy co-operative game, but personally I felt the fantasy redesign was a little lacking.

\\n

Wait, I swear on me nan\\u2019s ghost that I saw more games in here when I first burst in. Are you hiding \\u2018em? What\\u2019s that on there? Is that a game on your mobile device, Mr Lees? Is it Vlaada Chvatil\\u2019s classic tableau-builder, Through The Ages? You of all people should know those is contraband, as they remind people of \\u2018the time before\\u2019, when they could play games with their friends around their tables spreading all their germs. Not any more. You\\u2019re going to prison, but seen as we can\\u2019t go outside, I\\u2019m locking you in your own dishwasher. It\\u2019s for the best.
