Again, I love the feel of good pieces in my hand, the chess clock running to the side, and a good wood board… playing with plastic and vinyl feels almost like sacrilege sometimes.
Quotes by Gary Christiansen
When you consider I own 27 different games about the Battle of the Bulge just now , it should be pretty clear that’s an obsession of mine . I admit freely to it and refuse to seek counseling . Everyone should have an obsession or two . Mine is harmless
I don’t care about the blurbs on the box or advertising. It gives me an awareness of the game’s existence, the topic, and the substance to expect, but not the quality. A designer’s name means nothing to me anymore either. Every designer ends up with a game I won’t want at some point, so even the most comfortable familiar designer name will not sell me a game.
I want my games to be complete up front, not missing things someone else got from spending a lot more money.
