Happy Paczki Day!

Behold the power of The Paczkini!



Look at the racks of paczkis at Copernicus Deli this morning....geez!

Run Lola Run

Digging around the other day, I found a poster I have for the film Run, Lola Run.  Unfolding it, I forgot how huge it really is!  (Note the dvd case by it for comparison.)  I really only have one wall of the house that could take it!  Plus, it needs to be flattened out.... Still, it's pretty cool looking.

They tell you the whole plot here...in French!

Hello Joan.....

I realize these pics have been elsewhere....but, jeez, I'm only human!

Airlines!

Not all games are on obvious topics like war or sports....some are about running an airline.  No, really!

It's really an economic game of building networks to airports....

Using a variety of aircraft of differing costs/capabilities....

and dealing with a wide variety of issues/problems!  It's a lot of fun...plus, you get to see how odd the airline industry is....colorful, and easy to play.  Look for it!

The Creature That Ate Sheboygan!

Not all my games involve huge maps with huge numbers of pieces.  This is a very fun little game from 1979, which is basically Godzilla vs. A City.  The Godzilla player gets one piece:  Godzilla.  The City play gets a variety of units, with the traditional goal of stopping Godzilla from trashing the town.  What makes it cool is that before the game, the Godzilla player can select from a variety of Monster Powers, like Flying, Giant Leap, Make Spiderwebs, Flame Breath (of course!), and Hypnosis ( which lets you Mind Control the City units!) , amongst others.

                                      

 The rules.

The map is quite small...that's a quarter at the top, one of my few.  You can't have it.  I mean it....stop looking at it!

It's a very cool game that plays in about an hour, and because you can make the monster quite different each time, it has a lot of replay value.  If you can ever find it, pick it up!

Construction!

We are making a few changes to the blog layout...and have added an Amazon search box!  So, fund the 'Stuffin', by making your Amazon purchases through the little box...your price will not be affected!

We're not done fixing things, so more changes may appear....

The Gingertennial

In your February Gingertennial pic, Ginger is here expressing her 2nd Amendment rights....and is probably thinking about certain directors/ex-husbands....
