November 9, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

  The rules to Tree Frog Games’ Discworld Ankh-Morpork board game say; Ankh-Morpork is a relatively simple game. When it is your turn you play a card, do what it says on it, and then fill your hand back up to five cards. The next player then does the same, and so on until someone […]
