After flipping through all the lame Friday Fives, I found a somewhat more interesting Thursday Four:
1. What is your favorite board game and why?
Go. It's simple and looks beautiful, yet very deep and complicated. I always have fun with it.
2. When was the last time you played party games and what was most memorable about it?
The only "party" games I've ever played have been things like Pictionary at semi-compulsory "get-togethers" of workmates. Boring and puerile, these are hardly games at all.
3. If you could invent any game already in existence, what game would you invent and why?
I'm not sure I understand this question. I suppose I would like to have been the inventor of some commercially successful game like Pictionary or Trivial Pursuit, so I could sell hundreds of thousands of copies and make enough money to take time off and design some real games.
4. Do you prefer video games or real life games and why?
I hate video games, though sometimes I get sucked into playing a computer wargame. I much, much prefer playing a board or card game with a real person.
