I just finished the new website for the Board Game Designers Guild of Utah. It lists our upcoming games and has information on our designers, artists, and members. Check it out:

I recently finished reading "Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals" and I've posted a review over on my blog. Ultimately I do recommend the book but there are lots of problems with it that a potential reader should know about before they make a purchasing decision. Here's the link if anyone is interested:

I got the final box cover art from the artists this morning for my game and I've posted it over on Board Game Geek. Here's a link to the game's entry:

Bridge Troll - which was recently published by Z-Man Games - was designed by Alf Seegert (one of the members of the Board Game Designers Guild of Utah - of which I am a member) and the artist was Ryan Laukat (also a member of the BGDG). Since I'm the manager of Game Night Games, I organized a special "Release Party" for the game at the store that was held this past Saturday (July 4th). I posted a short recap of the event over on BGG. Here's the link:

I'm just putting an entry here in the blog section on my profile to let people know about my board gaming blog called "Reflections Across the Board". I had posted this same information back when the BGDF was using the old format. So, here it is again:

Also, the new site looks really nice. Thanks to the BGDF staff for the new look and feel.
