…because the first thing I thought when I saw an ad for this (http://www NULL.iload NULL.com/) was, “my pants.”

It’s the end of the quarter again, guys.  I’ve been up for 30 hours – mostly because I drank a pot of coffee last night and instead of leaving my paper alone after one revision, [...]

Boardgames are fun. In fact, boardgames are probably the only reason I wish I had more friends — usually I am so misanthropic that I don’t care that I don’t have many friends. I must admit, though, that the larger number and variety of friends you have will ensure that you can find SOMEone who will play a certain game with you.

This means that even if you can find someone besides your husband (http://www NULL.ambardia NULL.com) to play one game with you, that’s not a guarantee that that same person will like another game.
Now seems like a good time to talk about boardgaming in general. First and perhaps most importantly: “gamers” vs. “non-gamers.” Continue reading Games I Like
