Anticipated games

Through the desert will be back! In a box that fits in my small games shelf.

Gah. I suppose I should have waited after all. If that has good camel components, I’ll be well annoyed…

So mounting the 30 rider pieces onto camels was one of the most aggravating pre-game tasks I’ve encountered for a while – and even after trying my best, I’m very dubious that they are all going to stay put. I don’t know if it’s just the most recent edition which is troublesome, as it looks like every edition has used the same approach, but that is not a great design IMO. I can see how they are intended to click into place, and a few of them did, but there are so many tiny inconsistencies between pieces that, for lots of riders, I would just have to trial-and-error my way through a heap of prospective camel mounts until I found one that seemed like it might stick in place. I don’t want to use glue, but I think I might end up Blu-Tacking them together.
