This weekend, I went to Tokyo for business.  During a lunch break, I went walking in the Harajuku area.  I saw a gaming shop that sold Warhammer.  Warhammer is something that I always thought looked fun and interesting, but i could never get into it because it costs a lot of money, and I never had much extra cash when i was young.  Here’s a picture form the Warhammer shop in Harajuku.

This is Warhammer.  Warhammer is a boardgame with highly detailed game pieces.  The game pieces come un-assembled, so you have to put them together, glue them, and paint them yourselves.  That is really where all the fun is.  After you are finished, you can set up a game with a friend and have your figures battle each other.  The rules are very complicated, and you need a lot of dice.  It’s pretty nerdy, but there is something about the quality of the figures that makes me always walk into a Warhammer store and take a look around.  I still never buy any of it.  It’s too expensive.  Maybe one day…
