Fun:
- Geek Madness is about to end and as of 11am 4/10, Power Grid is trailing Agricola in the finals by 38 votes
- Now this is someone who knows how to put away their game!
- I’m thinking the next navigation system I get will have a Carcassonne plug-in
- Yeah, that’s it. Next board game party, we should dress for our games! (I’ll get kicked out of the group…)
- Somehow Cave Evil slipped by my game-dar. But these minis are awesome!
- Want a look at Star Trek Catan? How about the trekkies who are playing it?
- Pimp My Game: I’ve seen painted cars for Formula D, but this is by far the best. These too from the same artist.
- Pimp My Game II: Outstanding painting job on Wrath of Ashardalon. Painted minis always make a game better, right?
- Pimp My Game III: Same as above, but for HeroQuest. I have to say, this would turn my head to play this game. Even if it might be collectible.
- Meeple eggs for Easter!
- Interesting read on how to get the women in your life into gaming. I think he’s oversimplifying, but it was interesting putting it in the light of the games of Core Worlds I’ve had recently with my wife. Yeah, she hasn’t seemed to enjoy these so much. Although she keeps suggesting it. By the way, my favorite is Ryan Moses’s reply about ¼ of the way down the page.
- It’s blocked where I am right now, but just the subject is worth posting, so I’ll have to check it out later: Cracked’s 9 Most Insane Board Games of All Time
- Interesting short read on the possibilities with gaming and Project Glass from Google

- Redshirts: Funny card game where you are the Starfleet captain and try to eliminate all of your redshirts. This is not going to have Star Trek licensing tied to it though. Release May 2012.
