I love multi-use cards, and as a result, they're a part of almost every design I've crafted. The exceptions being Druids, Rail Contango, and currently Dungeon Time, Fun! I love them. I am by no means an authority on multi-use cards, or anything really, but I've experimented so much with multi-use cards that I feel confident writing about them.

The Mind is a short cooperative card game for 2-4 players that is getting a lot of buzz lately. Eric Martin of BGG is mentioning it quite a bit as he boasts over 100 plays already. It's not yet available in America, though some specialty sites have it, and you can go on the German Amazon to buy it.

I played my copy of Rising Sun for the first time this weekend and I was very pleasantly surprised. Last year I played the much lauded Blood Rage at long last and hated it. I hated it almost immediately and spent my entire play of it wanting to leave the table.

I'm not huge on New Year's Resolutions, mostly. The thing is, I'm always trying to lose weight, I'm cool with the amount of alcohol I consume, and I'm doing my best to be more positive.
