    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).
