So thespooniest, Roommate S, and I spent several hours today consolidating our board game collection. We did things like take all of the expansions for Talisman, rubber-band the little decks of cards so we could throw out the plastic dividers that came in the box, and use the huge amount of extra room to consolidate the game and all the expansions we have into ( Read more... )

I start getting ideas for Icehouse games in my head. I've already written rules for one today, a bit of a chess variant with a memory game attached.

So, I was at GameStop to pick up the new Fire Emblem, and while I was waiting for the guy behind the counter to get off the phone, I browsed the used games, as I often do. I ran across Imagine: Teacher which is one of the latest in the series of games for kids which claim to simulate various jobs and things like that ( Read more... )
