Today is the second big Holy Nerd Day, after RSD comes the celebration of boardgames be they new (No Thank You Evil), contemporary (Settlers of Catan) or old standbys (Risk, Clue and Monopoly). It is nice to see newer games rise up to get some breathing room because the older boardgames have their strengths but are a little long in the tooth and have a hard time getting people like Somara to play them.
Sadly, I didn’t have a chance to participate in the festivities this year. I’m still recovering from my best Moontower experience, work, a really bum right knee and a surprise I will write about tomorrow.
Meanwhile, even if you’re reading this after the holiday is over, don’t procrastinate, check out the local comics-game store and look into something new. Or dust off a more unconventional game to play, break the monotony of having your face glued to a tablet, trying to gain another level of bullshit.
