Ah man that's cool. I gave my nephew Settlers of Catan at Xmas. He wasn't familiar with it but I just sent him this article you posted. Maybe he'll think it's cool now.

Hehe, maybe.

at least they're not playing "Sorry!"

note: I played endless games of Sorry!  

We mostly played chess or Scrabble I think.

those are much better games.  

You should have been Canadian. :)

Saw that posted on Facebook.

Yeah, I shared it and tagged my friend Kalei. Thought she might get a kick out of it, since she and her fiancee met partly by way of board game (-ish; D&D).

What is up with more and more gamers getting into BOARDGAMES!! You can't kill anyone graphically on those things!!!!

You could if you had one of those Harry Potter chessboards.
