Well, it's been a super long time since I've updated the blog - so there a metric butt-ton of links here to keep you up to date with what we've been doing on "the OG"...

This month has had a bit more of the gaming commentary - and I think that you'll see more of this throughout the summer! We also had a week long retrospective on Japanese games during the month.

5. Jonathan Degann: The Frustration Factor

6. Dale Yu: Building the Perfect Miniature Rules Reference including cards for 20th Century, Firenze, Florenza, Grand Cru, Magnum Sal, Merkator, Troyes and other Essen games...
