BB reader Paul sez,
A board-gaming colleague of mine created, played, and I beleive subsequently ate, a full gingerbread version of the popular, and oft-expanded tile-laying game "Carcassonne". She has published the details including how long it took and llinks to lots of photos…the little gingerbread "meeples" are the best!
Link to blog entry with links to photos and HOWTO infoz. Here's background on the game.
Jon Power points to more coverage on boardgamegeek and says,
Boardgamegeek.com is the centre of the board game universe and a few minutes on there will convert almost everybody away from horrid Monopoly and back into fun games like Carc. My club in York is called Beyond Monopoly!, we'll be meeting tomorrow to play German games all day. German style board games are the future. We go to Essen each year to join 150,000 boardgamers at the biggest show in the world. 4 days of board games in massive exhibition halls, it's unbelievable.
