Flak Magazine's new gaming section

Flak is starting "an ongoing games section that will cover all manner of games, regardless of whether they require an AC adapter" with this promising lineup on tabletop games (OK, so I'm biased):

JonMichael Rasmus asks whether The Settlers of Catan could be the new Monopoly. (Answer: Yes.) Yehuda Berlinger looks at the pleasures of Puerto Rico, the reigning champion in the heavyweight boardgaming circuit. James Norton joneses for the sweet satisfaction of the two-player card game Lost Cities. J. Daniel Janzen compares Celebrity to traditional charades and illustrates the difference between lightning and a lightning bug. And Matthew Baldwin clues us in on how to conduct the kind of game night that your friends actually want to put on their calendar.

In other gaming news, I recently discovered the joys of Guitar Hero II. My violin teachers would be so proud. JM's worried console gaming might turn my head, but I doubt it. There's always room for more games.
