Duncan Clarke, a board gamer from Kent in the UK has started their strenuous workout regime in preparation for unboxing their most recent board game purchase.
"I recently picked up a copy of Arkham Horror. It's been sitting on my shelf for since I bought it and I thought it was about time I face the task of opening it." Mr Clarke, 27, said already sweating at the idea of the mammoth task. "When I got the X-COM Board Game I didn't prepare before hand and was bed bound for almost a week after I punched out all the components. I think it has done irreparable damage to my thumbs,"

"I've been weight lifting, doing sit-ups and using one of those hand squeezr things you see in films. I never understood what they were for but now I am convinced that they were made for intensive board game unboxing training" Duncan said "The training has been going great so far, my trainer thinks I should be ready to full unbox the game in three to six weeks...about the same amount of time it will take to set up and play a game of it!"
