Hi! My name's Duarte and I'm from Portugal, a beautiful country in Europe near the Atlantic Ocean. You can find more info about visiting my country
http://www.visitportugal.com/Cultures/pt-PT/default.htmlI've come from a common place - CCG played intensely in the 90's - MTG, Star Wars and L5R, but regarding boardgames they arrived at my door" a few years ago,in a business trip to Madrid when I've bought Carcassone after a co-worker recommendation. After that it's been a wild ride. I'm fond of several types of gaming mechanics specially area control, auction and resource management games, but what I really really like are train games (goods delivery, track laying, collusion, company development and shares shares shares :ninja

.
I'm definitely an Euro-Train-Gamer. I've got 2 regular playing groups, the first one on a weekly basis - OH Gamers - a heavy players group, and a second one every 2 weeks in which I play some lighter euro-games. My top 10 explains clearly my preferences. I also use the hot 10 list to make the 11th to 20th preferred games.
Beside boardgaming, my main hobby is aquarium and tropical / reef fish keeping, which I've been doing since I was a child and currently due to life circumstances I can only afford to have a single tank with 750 Lt with Mbunas from the Lake Malawi in Africa. I also have a seat in the stadium of my soccer team - Sporting Clube de Portugal and I have a great time cooking / drinking wine and eating cheese

I'm married for almost 4 years but I'm in love with my wive for almost 16 years (since high school). We've got a baby girl on the 29th of April - Leonor - The shinning star of our lives!.
Well if want you can drop me a line if you visit my country or if you wanna discuss some common interests.
Have fun and play nice!
PS: I play with GREEN!!!
