Hi everyone and Thanks Paula for the heads up that the teams were ready.
I'm from Victoria Australia I have 3 daughters aged 30, 25 and 24. I have never played Tower before just joined on a whim not knowing anything about it. I take it from the comments that it has something to do with Star Wars which is awesome as I have seen all the movies and loved them particularly the earlier ones. I run a post office and news agency in a small country town which means I get to read by Audio while sorting and delivering mail. Sadly not much time to read paper books. I love sci-fi and fantasy but don't mind a romance if its not mushy or conceited. Yes I have read Harry Potter, I bought it for my youngest daughter when it came out. I ofter read the books they were reading as kids and still do to this day. In March and April this year I re-read the series on Audio. Can anyone who has played Tower before shed some light on how it works.
Hi Kimberley and Brittany I think you are the only ones I have met before.
