  As Dr Frasier Crane would point out: Unless the book pages somehow flapped wind onto your cerebellum, the book did not "(literally) blow" your mind. It figuratively blew your mind. Yehuda...
• Commented on Carl Sagan on Flatland
  Unfortunately, neither Abbot nor Sagan was correct in conveying what happens to Flat Person when he (or she) is suddenly thrust into the third dimension. Flat Person's scope of understanding - and vision - is entirely two dimensional. His entire...
• Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg

  I've played and rated over 250 board and card games and playing Fluxx is one of the most god-awful worst game experiences. I will play nearly any game other than Fluxx. The game is slightly funny, true. Play it once,...
• Commented on HOWTO Win at Monopoly
  Sorry, I'm in the Monopoly basically sucks category (all 1300+ versions), although there are plenty of other games that suck more. I'll second Power Grid for people who want to switch to a better economic game, as well as Acquire....

• Commented on Board-game price-fixing

• Commented on Can "girl games" transcend shopping, fashion and babies?
