Suite la découverte récente de
Fuzz - adaptation française du concept de
Digg-it - et quelques petites recherches, j'ai trouvé une série d'articles passionnants qui confirment ma première impression : Digg-it est un jeu de rôles en ligne !

The company Dot Mobile is about to launch concise summaries of classic works of literature in text format. This service for mobile phones users will start in january 2006 and is aiming to target english students... For Game Designers, I think the idea of playing with concise text messages as a way to encrypted some contents or invent new languages forms in Games, could be really fun.

Since my arrival (mid october) in Singapore, I tried to figure out if I can find any place to play or buy card & board games. Last Sunday during a great equatorial brunch in the Botanic Garden, the light comes from an article from Lee Sze Yong in the Sunday Times: "S'poreans on board".

The 10th of October 2005, Greg Aleknevicus decided to stop the publication of "The Games Journal" after the end of the great magazine "Abstract Games", it again shows the complexity to provide good contents on board games & game design on the long term. By chance Greg decided to let an access to all the archives. It's not too late to discover or re-discover some great articles on board games ! Find here a very short & selective list of great articles.
