Board game bonanza

rssingpun is up and running, but since I promised my board game column, I'll post it here too. This column is also a really good description of Magic: The Gathering, for anyone who has ever wondered what it's all about, or who already knows.

My latest shipment of board games arrived, and now I finally have nothing else in the mail. So I'm putting down the e-wallet, backing slowly away from the computer, and basking in dozens of new games including the much-vaunted Agricola. the_star_fish and I played three games of it the day it arrived, and I have to say, although I still prefer Caylus, I think it's pretty danged good. Like a Harvest Moon board game.

Has there been a 24-hour period this summer without rain? Because it doesn't feel like it. And yet in spite of this, I'm appalled that summer is almost over already. Even though it's not as if I have to go back to school or anything of that ilk.
