Alfred’s Best of Blogosphere continues
Alfred’s Best of Blogosphere continues, and I made the list! I’m flattered! I’ve come across most of the entries he picked, and I think he’s made some good choices this week, as well (even excluding me).

Best of the Blogosphere
Alfred’s Best of the Blogosphere is a most welcome development. Alfred from Musings, Ramblings and Things Left Unsaid picks highlights from the board game blogs every week, pointing readers to the most interesting entries. I like it, but I think it could be even better. Make a new blog out of it and perhaps get…

Architekton
I was thinking about getting Architekton (as a companion to another small-box Queen game, Turbo Taxi, which is a must-buy for me), but after I read Mary (sodaklady) write about in Gone Gaming: Techniques to Recruit The Non-gamer in Your Home, I’ve changed my mind. Mary’s entry hit my doubts fairly well — I’ll skip…

Another new blog!
Gathering of Engineers is another group blog, started by the members of Rip City Gamers group. That includes Chris Brooks, Dave Eggleston (Death Metal Cafe), Eric Landes (Incunabula), KC Humphrey (game design guru) and others. The start seems promising.

Boxes
Shannon Appelcline wrote a good article on game boxes in the Gone Gaming blog. The Problem with Game Boxes is a lament for the variety of different box sizes these games of ours come in: This might seem a pretty minor issue to kibitz about, but I suspect that storage issues affect just about anyone…

Board game blog review (and linking)
I think board game bloggers could link to each other a bit more. Most blogs have a blogroll, that’s good (and quite a few link to me, that’s always nice!). Still, maybe few more entries with links to other board game blogs wouldn’t be bad? Pointing out the best stuff in other blogs, you know.…

Three years!
Oops, almost missed the anniversary (actually, I thought it was the 22nd). I do remember our wedding anniversary (which is day after tomorrow), so perhaps I’ll just try to remember that this blog’s anniversary is two days before that. Which makes it today. Gameblog has been up three years now. I don’t know about the…

Gold rush
Joe Gola recounts his Silverton experiences in There’s Gold in Them Thar Cards. Suddenly I feel a rush to try to game! Man, that’s some well-written and attractive stuff about a five-hour juggernaut game! The new Gone Gaming blog where that entry appears looks promising, by the way. I should fix my blog roll on…

Tom Vasel’s site
Tom Vasel has set up a website called The Dice Tower. It has links and the description of all the Dice Tower episodes (The Dice Tower is his podcast he does with Joe Steadman). There’s also TomVasel.com, which turns out to be a also hosted at the The Dice Tower site. There you can find…

Decisionmaking
I wanted to comment on something Shannon Appelcline wrote in his blog. He has banned comments from non-LiveJournal users so I’ll just have to say it here: So at EndGame I usually try and be really considerate of what people might enjoy and do all the consensus twaddle about what we should play. Today, because…
