Okay, NOW I want an Ipad....

BoardgameNews points us to the first board and card game app announced for the Ipad. And I have to admit, it's pretty damn cool. Crappy games but I've a feeling that will change VERY quickly.

Of course, I'm the one who vows never to get an E-reader as I love the feel of a real dead-tree book. Who knows...

You can check it out here.

You tell me: boardgames as art...

One blogger describes at Infarrantly Creative how she frames and hangs boards from board games as art work. I think I'd much rather hang a Cranium game than play it anyways...

What boards do you think are worthy as artwork on a wall?

(Tipped off thanks to Michaela.)

Spielbox in English!


Great news for games addicts (at least I think so). The great German games magazine Spielbox is now going to be printed and shipped in English. Spielbox is well-known for often including expansions for popular games in its pages. I had to order one from overseas to get the Stone Age expansion (game still sucked...) You can order your subscription here although it's not too cheap. And although Games Magazine holds a dear place in my heart (mostly due to my teenage years devouring the December Top 100 issues), as far as board games go, it doesn't hold a candle to the articles in Spielbox.
