#Boardgame people! I'm planning on getting some of Roxley's Iron Clays, and saw a post about using puzzle boards for board games. What other generally usable board game accessories do you think enhance your gaming experience?

We killed Hitler!!!! Well, in #BlackOrchestra, the cooperative #boardgame of the German conspiracy to kill Hitler. I liked it. The game takes careful planning, and does a good job of keeping the tension high.

Got in a game of #Bonsai last night (well, and Dragonwood, Steampunk Rally Fusion, Dice Forge, and Age of Innovation). I like this one. Fits the theme well, not too complicated, pretty results. #boardgames.

Yet another call to support indie bookstores. But it's been a long time since I went to one that didn't suck. If I want to browse stuff that I actually want to buy, I have to go to Barnes & Noble. Having to go to a local store to order and then pick up sounds like ordering from ABE with more steps.
