This Space Intentionally Left Blank

Apologies for the relative lack of posts this week. I'm actually taking a quasi-vacation of sorts ahead of the crunch that starts pre-Gen Con and doesn't let up until after BGG.CON ends in November. I'll resume a more regular posting schedule starting the week of July 28, if not sooner, with among other things many updates to the Gen Con 2014 Preview and Spiel 2014 Preview. In honor of the French exchange student traveling with us, I'll leave the following video below for your entertainment/displeasure. Ta!


And just in case that video isn't to your liking, although I can't imagine how that could happen, I'll leave this hypnotic little number, too:


Finally, to both try something new and cover my absence from this space, I invite each reader to suggest a game-related link in a comment, with Kickstarter links being verboten. Ideally you'll have something from a game designer, blogger, or mainstream source that gives all of us something unexpected to chew on. I'm looking forward to your suggestions!
