Extending the boardgame blogroll
The number of good boardgame blogs increases continuously. I recently found a few new interesting sites which are worth visiting (I have added a permanent link on the blogroll on the main index page).
My first candidate for a regular read is:
Mike Doyle's Art Play - Thoughts on boardgames and game aesthetics
Mike is a graphics designer and lives in the United States, in New Jersey. His blog not only focuses on board games but also on the artwork included in these games. His work on the Settlers of Catan boardgame is totally astonishing.
- Settlers of Catan Board Design Part 1
- Settlers of Catan Board Design Part 2
- Settlers of Catan Board Design Part 3
- Also, don't miss his exhaustive Settlers of Catan Review
- In addition, check out the Shadows over Camelot (Visual Design Review) and his introductory post.
The second new addition to my blogroll is Matthew Marquand's
Marquand.net
The blog has a nice design and features some cool pictures of session reports. It is certainly not a boardgame-exclusive but the game night category contains all gaming related information. Matthew apparently likes playing Memoir '44 as there's several session reports on that game, too.
