Sam Clifford’s got his Heroes Incorporated boardgame onto store shelves! You can order a copy online from GameFest<\/a> – if you look quickly you can see it still on the top of the newly released games list!<\/p>\n

And in similar but unrelated news, for Reiley’s eighth (!) birthday, the day before yesterday, my folks sent her the boardgame version of Boxum!, the game for which John Carpenter made the PC version<\/a>! It’s so great to hear that Boxum! is going strong, too – I don’t think my parents had any idea it was the game John did! I hope you’re getting something out of it, John. :P<\/p>\n

Reiley also picked up Bohnanza, a really nice looking Rio Grande game with a decent amount of complexity. Andrea and I can’t wait to steal it and play!<\/p>\n

Board gaming is everywhere! Whooo!<\/p>\n
