Ummm... according to the Darkover website you quoted, it's stuck in a time loop back to 2007.

Perhaps you meant the other Darkover website?

Fixed, thanks.

Thanks for the shoutout. LoB actually has one open player character left, but we really could use 3-5 more cast members too.

Congress of Gamers dates are also wrong. Not 9/20-21, but rather 9/26-27 (the former is a Sun/Mon).

Passed to a Md-based board gaming fiend...errr...friend of mine.

Random question - thoughts on Blokus Trigon versus regular Blokus? Wife and I are thinking of picking up Trigon after a few games of regular Blokus with the understanding that the Trigon is better suited for 1-3 players versus regular Blokus.

I've never played Blokus Trigon, but I do find that regular Blokus plays a little weird with 3 (I think it's fine with 2), so if you commonly have 3 Trigon is probably a good bet - I think the game play is identical, they just change the shape of the board.

I just got to play Blokus Trigon and can definitely recommend it, it's more different than the regular than I thought, due to the shapes of the pieces. I think it's a little more versatile than regular Blokus, which could translate to harder, but for you I think it would mean better :-).
