I gave my sister a copy of Small World for Christmas. For those who are not aware, I am pretty serious about my board games. If you are interested in game design, as I am, there’s often a lot more meat in a board game than in a computer game. So yeah. I guess you [...]
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike…
Remember these? Recently they have been reprinted. I saw a bunch in a bookstore two months ago.

Just won a 16 player online mafia game as the Demon, proving that when it comes to lies, deceit, and treachery, I’m your man!
