We've always been big gamers, but I was always a fan of a good board game and your column was a great resource to find new ones to try out. Keep the new stuff coming!

There will be a short period where I am reworking some of my GamerDad Unplugged "greatest hits", but I hope to toss in some new reviews in the mix as well. As for Settlers of Canaan & Zarahemla, I've heard pretty good things about Settlers of Canaan, but haven't been able to try it myself. Thanks for all the nice comments.

I've found 1 or 2 and have had fun with them. Of course, there are also the ones I do know and I have stacks and stacks of board games. Our family's favorite is still Sorry (I feel like I should apologize for that ;-)), but Settlers of Catan is right up there, too. For your review fodder, have you seen the imitations Settlers of Canaan and Zarahemla? Each throws bare ripples into the resource, road, settlement, city core of Catan (and don't have the add-ons), but they are really great for Sunday play! I can't wait to read your next review! Matt,
