Am sorry to have missed it, had to put LIO the Prius into service to catch up from being away. Very sorry, indeed, having been introduced to Blokus while in NJ a few days ago!

If you want a Blokus fix now and then, there's an online version to be found here: http://www.blokus.com/online-game/

Awesome! Thanks!

also Dos de Mayo and the like-scrabble-but-with-math one

[castalusoria.livejournal.com]

That'd be "Equate," which I fear with a flaming passion. Yo no hablo "math..."

2 rounds of Equate (the number/equation version of scrabble) got played. :)

For all that he was glued to the screen, even the boy had fun... and DH says let's try to get there again next year :-)

Hmm... missed one of the girl's new favorites (chicken was the first)... but I can't remember the name other than that it was railroad based, and there was another much like it that was European, but we played the US version... 2 full games of it..

My son loved the computerized Axis & Allies

...he even seemed to figure out the game-play, with a little help from the seasoned players. I only heard urgent cries of "No, Quinn! Don't click there!" a couple of times.

I have to admit that a computerized A&A is appealing to me, as that was the major impediment to playing it for me, growing up...it seemed to take as long to take out, set up, and put away as it did to PLAY.

I *was* rather amused that there was a game noticeably missing... Diplomacy was nowhere in the room. Oddly enough, I think it's the one game that I really associate with EveCon - which was about the only time that time enough could be found to play a complete game (sometimes by some small miracle even two games).

Re: My son loved the computerized Axis & Allies

I haven't seen anyone drag out Diplomacy in ages, I even have it but didn't bother to bring it out as I didn't think it would get play - it's just too much of a time commitment for most people.

Oh, I know... without the "possible overnight" and multiple days for playing games, it's just scary to even think about pulling it out (having said that, somehow one of the games I played once only lasted about 2 hours - I think we were all in shock :-)

You have kinksville to thank for bringing the computer, it does seem to help, I remember that for Risk - in school one of my friends had a computer version and you could do a full game in about 20 minutes. I did find it amusing that a group was playing the old school A&A in the opposite corner of the room.

Also played: Guillotine and TransAmerica (renamed for Sam, Kathy, and myself as Executive TransAmerica and occasionally Action TransAmerica).

Thank you so much for doing this Karl. I've put 2010 on the calender... oh crap, I guess that means I'm officially a gamer. *wink*
