This is where it all started. From that lonely January evening when I felt my gaming world falling apart, you can witness the birth of this new gaming group and our growth through our first first two and a half months. It's a good place to show you where we've come from and who has been involved from the beginning.

Game of the Month! - The Princes of Florence
(Check out my Game of the Month Review!)

Games played: The Princes of Florence, PitchCar, Struggle for Rome, Taluva, Star Wars: Episode 1; Clash of the Lightsabers, Tumblin-Dice, To Court the King, Amun-Re, China, The Pillars of the Earth, Animal Upon Animal, For Sale, Mission: Red Planet, Terra Nova, and Tichu .

Highlights: My favorite game was the Game of the Month! I (and several others in the Hypermind Boardgamers) had our first exposure to such classics as El Grande, Tichu, and China. Plus, we witnessed the bliss of pure and innocent monkey love in our first games of Animal Upon Animal.

Game of the Month! - Taluva
(Check out my Review of Taluva)

Games played: Taluva, Colosseum, High Society, Industria, Pentago, Terra Nova, Mykerinos, To Court the King, Warrior Knights, Antike, Struggle of Empires, Ca$h 'n Gun$, Notre Dame, Arkadia, Tikal, Liar's Dice, Lord of the Rings: The Duel, Citadels, and Twilight Imperium (third edition) .

Highlights: We were able to play several of the new "hot" games such as Notre Dame, Arkadia, and Ca$h 'n Gun$, as well as some really great older games like Antike and Struggle of Empires (which has shot into my top 3 of all time!) Plus, the galaxy was made safe from the deplorable singing of Balemaster Britt!

Game of the Month! - Citadels
(Check out my Review of Citadels!)

Games played: Citadels, Hive, Arkadia, The Settlers of Catan, Tsuro, Taluva, Liar's Dice, Ca$h 'n Gun$, Struggle of Empires, Warrior Knights, Lifeboats, Wings of War: Famous Aces, Citadels: The Dark City Expansion, Mykerinos, Memoir '44, China, Cosmic Encounter, Tigris & Euphrates, Animal Upon Animal, Diamant, Shadows over Camelot, Ticket to Ride, Pick Picknic, Pollyanna, Twilight Imperium (third edition), and another playtest of Nigel Buckle's Ascendancy.

Highlights: Well, there were lots of fake comas induced by slow play, we failed to play our Game of the Month! one evening, and we found out that Carol actually exists. Hegemon Alton "the Terrible" was finally dethroned in Twilight Imperium (third edition). And we had our first experiences with eating poop and making sparks.

Game of the Month! - Ra

Games played: Ra, Twilight Imperium (third edition), On the Underground, Warrior Knights, Tigris & Euphrates, Cartagena, Liar's Dice, Cranium Hoopla, Arkadia, BattleLore, Star Wars Miniatures, Zooloretto, and Wits & Wagers.

Highlights: Princes Leia staged a hold-up in our TI3 game, John headed back to law school, we dabbled with using a couple of party games as fillers and closers (woo-hoo!), Chip's copy of The Downfall of Pompeii wins the "Always a Bridesmaid/Jr High Dance Wallflower" award, and Pam revealed that she has a serious gambling problem (losing over 75 chips in the last turn of Wits & Wagers).
