I'm briefly emerging from my dissertation-writing cave to let you know about this boardgame about the War on Terror. Too bad it's too late for it to ship in time for Xmas (unless you live in the UK). Not that I would have any time to play. The best thing is that the site includes a pdf with the ruleset, so you can get an idea on how it works. Too bad the board seems not to include neither Uruguay nor Denmark, two of the major players in the WoT :(

Oh, btw, their blog links to a piece of news that I have missed: Britain does not want people to use the phrase "War on Terror" anymore because it may be offensive. As it happens when you lose a game, losing a war seems to bring a little intelligence back to people. Oh, Gee, here I'm ranting again. Back to dissertation-world!
