Sorry for the downtime everyone- we became too popular! We’ll be sure this month to make sure we have plenty of bandwidth to last us, especially to accomodate all the new stuff we want to do… (mysterious!) We’ll try to fill in a few days worth of posts for the last week. The Inquisition of […]
Handslap!
In our group, if you make a rules mistake and inadvertently try to cheat, Jake will say “Give me your hand.” He becomes quite insistent until you present your hand, at which point, he will slap it on the backside like a nun’s yardstick. This is his way of enforcing the rules, and I believe, […]

Arkadia was described as “stock market tetris” to me, and Jenseits von Theben sounds a bit more “gamery.” And nobody seems to be gung-ho about Thief of Baghdad. There’s […]
