You don't call, you don't write...

I skip writing one Monday night call to arms and the blog goes dead for a week? Sheesh.

I'll be there on Monday. I just got back from a convention in Houston which went pretty well, although I didn't get to try out that many new games. (Played lots of classics, though). I did see lots of new games being played, though. The ludic equivalent of Tantulus. Fortunately for me, the grapes games looked sour. One of the games I saw was Heads of State, which one website has for dirt cheap (limited time offer). I'm not sure if it's good, though.

Heads Up -- Zopp on BoulderGames

When I went to Essen 'lo these many years ago, Jacqui and I paused by and looked longingly at Zopp. It was smooth enough to make me think it was an air-hockey game ... those discs glide. But it was expensive (in the $200 range) and big. I noticed that Boulder got it in a while ago at a decent price, and I was tempted.

But now it's on sale for one night only. At (just) under $100, I'm sold. And I picked up a few other small games, too. (And remember, the nice owner has offered a 5% kickback to any SABG member).

Update -- As Rob pointed out (in the comments), the 5% offer has officially expired.

Another sweet deal!

For the Combat Commander fans who didn't p500 this beauty, and now are in love with the game (ie hypocrites)

Boulder's sweet deal.

Check out the Saturday night special....feel tempted to get fowl play or alhambra dice game, now that we have the dice game fever (Yspahan, To court the King, etc)....although reviews of the latter have been lackluster.

Die Macher on Tanga

For $29 bucks (shipping included).

Just FYI.
