- Board Game Gluttony. It has been an amazing decade for the board game hobby with games being developed and sold on the market as fast as they can be made....like silicon valley in the 1990's. Have we become too critical of board games? I see posts on a hourly basis on Facebook of people poo-pooing almost every game that comes out....but rewind the clock 20yrs and we would be happy for any new game to be released. Do we have too much of a good thing going right now? PS You Guys Rock!! (Submitted by: Mike)

- What's one thing you wish you knew when you started the hobby? (Submitted by: Levi Thornton)
