I've been interested in boardgames for a while after being introduced to Avalon Hill's Up Front by a friend at work - Eric Topp. He taught me to play and it remains one of my favourite games. While there are new games being released all the time and no doubt many of them great, for me the appeal is in discovering the old out of print classics.

I really enjoy learning new rule systems and trying to play the game well. My likes range across genres and game types. Living in a small country town means the scope for face to face gaming - especially out of print is almost non-existent. While some swear by online in real time for me play by email works the best. I like being able to take my time and think about my next turn without feeling I have to hurry up because my opponent is falling asleep in front of me. Also I enjoy reading up the rules relevant to the current turn.
