The oversight of recent designer board games is tragic. As a game enthusiast, my life has been enriched by playing designer board and card games. Many of these are “thinking man’s” games.

The primary database / community online for board games is http://boardgamegeek.com.

Most of the games in the top 200 there would fit the bill.

I’m particularly fond of:

Blue Moon
Coloretto
Navia Dratp
Sticheln
Shogun (Wallenstein retheme)
Starcraft
Power Grid
Glory to Rome

For a deep and simple game with an easier learning curve than Go, check out Knizia’s “Through the Desert”.

Easily a blackberry messenger app that could communicate with blackberry owners. I would be willing to pay $10-20 for this. From what I’ve been lead to believe, this could only come from RIM though…

The virtual assistant

can be the perfect assistant for companies. This is because companies get the results with less of the cost and less of the stress.

You’ve forgotten GO! Computers (no thinking – just algorithm) already can beat pro chess players but it has never happened in GO game… So, which game is the king?

Monopoly and Risk for thinkers? These are games with so much random factor (dice) it is hard to predict situation on board and make some strategy…

Where are modest board games? Especially titles with reduced or even without random factor. Where only thinking and good strategy can make victory… Pick some from the list, and try it.

I cannot understand why you completely missed GO. I would place this on #1 myself.

Was very surprised/disappointed that Go (aka WeiQi or Baduk) was not included in this list above Chess. It’s vastly more complex and deeper in terms of strategy.

Comment on Stationery Pr0n: Japanese Pens and More from JetPens.com by Marcus

I thought a few months ago I buy the pen from Grand illusions and I agree with David, it’s a great converstaion piece but the writing is a bit disappointing.

I really like the Nomadic PD-04 Roller Pencil Case and checked out the website for the shipping. Proper International shipping starts at 15 USD which is more expensive than the product. Is there any better option available?

Comment on Butterflies in the Mind: Taking the Long View by Lisa

Lisa — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 07:45:00 +0000

I love your idea of butterflies. This is also similar to the job of a parent, how you plant the little seeds of thinking and hope that one day, it will cause something great and wonderful. Great analogy and your attitude as a teacher is one that is much needed – how to better challenge students to think outside the box rather than challenge them on how much they can retain.
