Basel Games Day, Rob Stuart, Fitting Wines - Caves Ouvertes

Broadcast on: 
19 April, 2016

Ruben Cabezon and Hirginia Vallejo came to Basel six years ago to pursue their studies and stayed. In 2013, as a way to meet new people, socialize and have fun, they founded Basel Games Day to exploit their interest in board games and gaming. Since then, the event has grown to host over 200 games which appeal to every culture, age or family disposition... Board Games, Role Playing Games and Escape Rooms are just some of the game types on offer, with hosts on hand to help keep things fun and enjoyable. BasGame 2016 will be at Unternehmen Mitte, which will help keep the focus going as you sample their coffee and cake! Listen to the interview again here.

 

Our cinema expert Rob Stuart came into the studio to talk about Batman versus Superman, the comic action thriller directed by Jack Snyder, starring Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck; The Huntsman and the Ice Queen, with Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt; How to be Single, the rom com starring Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Alison Brie, and Leslie Mann; psychological thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane; and documentary Grozny Blues.
