Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe....

I know, I know.  I don't post for weeks and then you read this title.  Hear me out - work is crazy, dog is quite sick, and basically the only time I've had off was last weekend.  Speaking of which, we went to Origins for another fun weekend and I'll post some convention pics by the weekend.

But seriously, check out this link.  I scoffed at first but then I read ALL the rules.  It is actually a pretty clever and rather tricky variant.  Which is probably why it showed up on a math blog.  And yes, it's probably eventually solvable but then isn't every abstract?

(Thanks for the tip, Gilad...)

Haven't posted in awhile..

Sorry, been off the radar for awhile.  Life has been quite busy and the gaming quite minimal.  But I'm heading back to BC for a week with the family so I can hopefully get some time and pics in then.  Word has it that my mother is obsessed with Dominion now.  Should be a good trip.

Happy fall...

February resolution....

....to play all the damn games that I own and HAVE NEVER PLAYED!!!  This includes

- Quo Vadis?
- Forbidden Island
- Serengeti
- Gloria Picktoria (the remake of the fantastic Alan Moon card game Get the Goods, which I have played)
- Magical Athlete
- Charon, Inc.

And maybe some of the good one's I only played once, like Jet Set, New England, and Yspahan.  Shame on me.

Moving sucks....

Sorry for the lack of meaningful posts lately (if my posts ever were meaningful...) In the middle of a move to a new home amongst many other things and haven't had time for much typing.

On Friday I picked up Jet Set and Dominion: Seaside and received Tobago as a borthday gift from my bro who is visiting. And I haven't played any of them yet due to time. But oh when I do, expect many a comment. ESPECIALLY about Tobago which excites me to no end!
