Remember -- The 'Summary' category is used for articles that summarize reviews, etc. So, here's what I've done since the last time I did one of these.

• Blokus
• Hunting Party (Preview)
• Around the World in 80 Days
• Dungeon Twister and 2nd Thoughts
• The Infamous Taj Mahal Post
• Captain Clever
• Poison
• Twilight Imperium Three
• Grave Robbers from Outer Space (etc)

Other posts I like:

• Here are my posts on The Hundred.
• My post on Randomness and Human Nature.

Merry Christmas!

Seem very nice. I've made this a summary article (since it is a nice summary of links) so that it's easy to find (in the future).

A comment on a previous post asked me to organize my reviews. So I've created a new category "Summary." All this does is serve as a place to put up index articles. I'll put up a new summary article every now and then -- just click on "Summary" to the left to get to them. Below are all of the reviews from Jan - June (not counting re-reviews). Right now I'm in the process of moving over my old website reviews to Boardgamegeek. Once they're done, I'll move these over.

• Battlestations — Initial Thoughts
• Shadowfist
• Ubongo
• Dork Tower
• Verflixxt!
• Fiese Fruende Fette Feten (Rant)
• Diamant
• Seven Ages (Initial Thoughts)
• Manila
• Neuland
• Heckmeck Im Bratwurmeck aka Pickomino
• Struggle of Empires
• Return of the Heroes
• Chebache & Zertz
• Fairy Tale
• Maharaja
• Lord of the Rings — The Confrontation

Actually, that's not bad. Seventeen reviews. Not all formal, but a reasonable pace.

Also of interest are my Gathering of Friends reports (They are all linked together).
