Obsolete Your Idols

Is It Monday Yet?

I've started trying to update the board game library at work.

That's right. I get paid to think about what games I want to play at work and then I get paid to play them. You wish you were me.

This week I picked up

• Stonehenge
• Carcassonne Big Box

but I don't anticipate getting any actual time to play this week what with my lunch date at E & O Trading tomorrow. So next Monday will probably be my first chance to sit down with one of those and get my game on.

Luckily I've got a day of boardgames going on Saturday and then D&D and Ars Magica on Sunday so, yeah, I really can't complain.

STURM AND ... oh.

It's been quite a week, with my boss out of the country. But at the end of it, it's important to focus on the things which really matter. Like my lovely wife. And the board game she bought for me today.

It's called Thurn and Taxis and it looks like a lovely little German board game. It's about strategically delivering the mail. No, I don't know what that means, either. But I'm looking forward to playing it sometime when I've got a couple people with an hour to spend on it.

It's All in Black and White

There must be a thousand ways to play it.
