It’s been a great week for me personally as I’ve been picked to be part of Team Geek at this year’s BGG.Con. Woohoo! I will be volunteering my time at the event (I had so much fun last year) and will get a snazzy BGG jersey with my name on it. You can get convention tickets here. It’s selling out quickly!

Anyway, it’s Friday, folks! I’ve rounded up some board-game related links and other fun things for you guys to enjoy.

The Worst Board Games Ever Invented. The author writes “The worst games, for the most part, have one thing in common: luck.” A distaste for luck is what separates those who play eurogames vs. games such as Monopoly.

— Daniel Solis writes up a quick introduction to typography grids in graphic design, as it pertains to rule books for board games.

— Why many eurogames are inherently single-player games.

Sixth Tribe Causes Identity Crisis. The meme accompanying this article cracks me up. I wrote about Five Tribes a few months back, and it still bugs me that it’s a four-player game. Why is it not five?! Now it’ll have six tribes!

— The first teaser is out for Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion’s web series Con Man, whose IndieGogo campaign launched this week and has already raised over $1.5 million for episodes.

— Table Flips You goes back to 1979 by playing the Star Trek Game.

— You can now play Cards Against Humanity online. We are all terrible, terrible people.

— Lastly, Happy Pi Day tomorrow! Time to make pies and celebrate! I’ll be having some folks over for Arkham Horror and pie-eating.
