<p class="firstinpost">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.</p>

<ul>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1120101069.shtml">Battlestations &mdash; Initial Thoughts</a></li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1119907778.shtml">Shadowfist</a></li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1119210448.shtml">Ubongo</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1118589893.shtml">Dork Tower</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1117911658.shtml">Verflixxt!</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1115326657.shtml">Fiese Fruende Fette Feten</a> (Rant)
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1114138198.shtml">Diamant</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1114036302.shtml">Seven Ages</a> (Initial Thoughts)
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1113954574.shtml">Manila</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1113942049.shtml">Neuland</a> 
  </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1113857574.shtml">Heckmeck Im Bratwurmeck aka Pickomino</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1112234159.shtml">Struggle of Empires</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1109299081.shtml">Return of the Heroes</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1107917051.shtml">Chebache & Zertz</a>
   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1107381153.shtml">Fairy Tale</a>

   </li>
   <li><a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1106489357.shtml">Lord of the Rings &mdash; The Confrontation</a></li>
</ul>

<p>Actually, that's not bad. Seventeen reviews. Not all formal, but a reasonable pace. </p>

<p>Also of interest are my <a href="http://gaming.powerblogs.com/posts/1113784411.shtml">Gathering of Friends reports</a> (They are all linked together).</p>]]></content:encoded>
