TerrorBull Games on BBC Games Britannia, episode 2 "Monopolies & Mergers"

The saviours of the British board game industry? Hell yeh! Historian Benjamin Woolley looks at 'War on Terror, the board game', placing it and its publishers in a historical context and discovers surprising links between 'War on Terror' and an ancient game of empires almost 2000 years old. This is a clip taken from the second programme of a 3-part series on the history of gaming in Britain, first shown on BBC4 in December 2009.

How do the British mess up English so often? you had the "idear" ? How does idea become Idear? Crazy britz...

Anyhow the game looks great!! Going to order it for my game group. Now that's a good idear!

Surpirising the BBC aired information about the game without ludicrous accusations by the ignorant MPs and "some-ignorant-woman-caught-up­-in-the-Tube-bombings" and suggesting they have any idea what they're talking about :P

Anyway lads: I'll be possibly buying this in the future :)
