Dickens, Steinbeck, Faulkner, Hemingway - you lot can do one! Because here on Back of the Shelf the only thing that gets our literary juices flowing is a skilfully constructed rulebook! And the beiger it is, the better! Also, Ben tries to be less angry.

It's Dave's belated Birthday! And what better way to celebrate than trekking up North to visit the Trafford Centre, eat a shit load of Starbars, hang out with a Canadian and snuggle up with Gerry in a Premier Inn! Also, we went to Tabletop Gaming Live for a bit.

Is it because they're out of print? Maybe it's because they're too damn expensive? Or perhaps it's just because we don't have any friends? This week, we discuss the games we would love to play but for some reason or other, we haven't. Gerry also tests the other guys' knowledge of rules and Ben starts gobbing off about Kick-starter. Again.
