My review of the Card game Rage, is now available at Amazon.com here.
This is an excellent party game particularly if you are a whist player, and it’s under $8.

Does game night add up to a visit from homeland security?

It might this week. We started with a a game of Robo Rally. Frank won that one, but we finished a tad early so we needed a 2nd game, so we decided to play Nuclear War and Nuclear Proliferation as they are usually rather quick to play.
By an odd coincidence in the middle of the game my nephew Dominic got a call from his kids in Minnesota. He was telling his daughter that he would soon be on a plane from Boston, at the same time the background talk was launching missiles, millions dead and so many megatons and bombs.
If anyone was monitoring that call and not familar with the board game they much have gotten rather excited. If the monitoring is done via computer programs then the alarm bells should be ringing off the hook.
I’ll let you know if the men in dark suits show up.
Where are the posts?

They were trumped by a dose of real life and errands. Add to that a great book (The case for Christ). My discovery of the very fun variant of Civilization Beyond the Sword (Defense), a few family squabbles and posting just takes last place.
I didn’t even get to see Ellsbury steal home against the Yanks.
BTW impressive as that is do you know that a Young Rod Carew stole home seven times in one season?
A little advice when playing Empire Builder….

Keep at least 5-10 mill in reserve or you might spend two hours on game night re-drawing cards and hoping for the best.
