I case you haven't figured it out, I am new to the whole Twitter thing. Somehow I managed to get @Zwischenzug2011 suspended in the first 30 minutes of life, and my understanding is that it could be a long time before that is resolved. (The fact that you can "re-open" a trouble ticket that is still "in process" isn't reassuring.) So, I have a new place to find us on Twitter:

Thanks for your patience!

What I am doing when I am not doing what's expected of me - a blog for family and casual gaming. I firmly believe all games are educational games in some manner. Board games create friendships, build families and teach social skills. This site is dedicated to helping families and friends find great family games and casual games to play.
zwischenzug (ZVI-shen-tsoog) — noun
A chess tactic in which a player, instead of playing the expected move, first interpolates another move, changing the situation to the player's advantage (such as gaining material or avoiding what would otherwise be a strong continuation for the opponent).

Happy Birthday to Me! Happy Birthday to Me!
My birthday was last week, and I got a great present last night! Okay, it really wasn't a birthday present, since I actually sold off some games to buy this games - back in January! One of the games was on back order until last week, (something to do with US Customs) and so it finally came last night. The games are:
All of them are fairly short games, which was part of the reason for the purchase. 7 Wonders also supports seven players extremely well, which is rare for a game. Onirim is the highest rated solitaire I have seen in a while. Death Angel gives me a Sci-Fi filler, and is also playable as a solo game. Watch Your Back can be played with Wings of War: Burning Drachens for up to six players now. And all of the last three games are small enough to travel well.
As I get them played I will try to review them.
