- Last week was the New York Toy Fair and Gamewright had a busy week, debuting six brand new games.
- Clever Move has listed their five favorite things from the Toy Fair (panda cubs make the list).
- Six games from KOSMOS will be back in print soon in the US, including Lost Cities and Kahuna.
- If you like press-your-luck dice games, you might want to check out Tasty Minstrel Games' Martian Dice which is currently 47% off on Amazon.
- New reviews this week of Qwixx (Meeple Town), Pictomania (Game Boy Geek), and Coconuts (Board Game Reviews by Josh).
- Passport Games has written in defense of regular gaming groups.
- Settlers of Catan makes an excellent and classic board game. But would it make a good movie? The film rights for the game have recently been bought. What other games would you be interested to see turned into a film or television show? (Personally I'd love to see Forbidden Island as a movie.) It’s worth noting that Settlers of Catan has actually already been turned into a novel.
- The Wall Street Journal has written an article on the business of vintage board game collecting.
- Linknotize, a new party game was released this month. It integrates board games and internet browsing, to see which player can use internet the quickest to connect two seemingly unconnected topics.
