Played my second game of 1960: The Making of a President. I've owned it for over 6 months but it is quite long and only for 2 players so I only played it the once right after I got it. Great, great game which I am looking forward to playing more. Definitely a gamer's game and the final score was 266-263. Ridiculously close...
Also picked up A Castle for All Seasons today. A bit disappointed with the 50 buck pricetag for a pretty empty box and only few components. Rio Grande is charging a lot more now for games sent across the border to Canada. Still, the cards and board artwork are quite nice and I'm really looking forward to playing the game. RFTG meets Stone Age... Fun. Expect more soon.

On the radar (i.e. soon to be bought...)
Not too much to mention at the moment so I'll just tell you what is currently on my wish-list...
Castle For All Seasons is a cross between Stone Age and a game like Race For The Galaxy. Except the roles interact like Cathedrals. Um, sounds REALLY good to me and this one is actually already available. I'm just waiting for a paycheque....
Excape (a reprint of Exxtra) is a push-your-luck game with dice. And it's invented by Reiner Knizia. Yeah, pretty much guaranteed to be really, really good. Also now available (MONEY! I NEED MONEY!!!)
Also, Days of Wonder has a new release this year, Small World, a remake of the game Vinci which I have never played. I have, however, thoroughly enjoyed History of The World which is a similar game. Unfortunately, HOTW takes 4-5 hours. Small World should give you the same feeling in about 60 minutes. And expect the amazing components that come in every Days of Wonder game (they are the publishers of Ticket to Ride.)
Oh yeah, and Dominion: Intrigue. 'Nuff said.
