Para os portugueses que queiram descobrir onde param os jogadores de Portugal, devem dar uma vista de olhos no

To my Secret Santa: on my Top 10 is the trimmed down version of my wishlist in no particular order

To both: you can use a portuguese on-line shop like www.loot.pt, the guy there responds to e-mails in english an you may ask him even if you can't find the item. Also there's the added value that he is an active member of the Lisbon Boardgamers Meetups where we both are, so you can save an extra in shipping costs and convince him to hand it in person. You could also try out www.diver.pt or a couple of spanish shops: www.planetongames.com or www.masqueoca.com
Please, please, please, don't go around looking for non-english games. English language games is fine and very appreciated!

I'm from Portugal, more precisely I live near the capital, Lisbon, to where I commute all workdays from my house in Sao Joao do Estoril, on the beatifull Estoril Coast.

I'm mostly a moody thematic player, that means that a game must be dripping with theme, or no theme at all. There's few games that sit in the middle of this definition that I really like. My thrill is to have a good time while playing, for this the theme, the players I game with and the place all must come together for the perfect gaming experience to take place, so I may come back home with a smile in my face.

My wife is almost a dream come true. She isn't a gamer, doesn't like to play much but lets me go on with this hobby of mine. My son (11 years old at this time) is already corrupted by my influence .

I try to help others on to the hobby, allways pushing and pulling everyone around. On this account many have been corrupted by my ways, getting to know the games beyond (insert 'm' or 'r' word of game here).

One of my dreams is the possibility to go to one good convention (BGG.CON would be great). This day will only may come true on the day I find a next door convention of Barbie dolls for my wife. If you know somewhere where this happens please drop me a line!!

Another of my passions is taking photos of everywhere I pass by, you may check some of my albuns here.
