My favorite board game of all time is Scrabble, a classic. I like it because I like word games, and I enjoy the challenge of Scrabble. However, Mancala is a close second, because it is such an ancient game and is quite intriguing. It has been found in cultures all over the world, is deceptively simple, yet amazingly complex. It is well worth checking out. Also have games such as chess, checkers, monopoly, life, and taboo. Have lots of books, and a DVD player that works on batteries, with a few DVDs.

Hudson Soft is periodically updating Marble Saga: Kororinpa's official site with previews of the game's stages, so we thought it would be good to document them conveniently here for you.

The first - Stage 1 - is 'Empty Lot'.Pre-order your copy of Marble Saga: Kororinpa from Amazon.com - click here!

Undoubtedly one of the loudest children's games of all time, the gameplay of Hungry Hungry Hippos consists of repeatedly smashing a lever to open one of the colorful hippopotamuses' mouths. The goal of the game is to swallow as many of the tiny marbles that scatter around the platform as possible.

They might not be the first team you'd think of when it comes to big spending, but the Seattle Mariners have been doing their best to gobble up every possible impact player on the market.

Jack Zduriencik kicked off the offseason by signing Chone Figgins—a longtime anchor of the rival Angels' lineup and perhaps the most sought-after free agent of the year.

The Mariners then traded for Cliff Lee (now the best number-two starter in baseball) and Milton Bradley (just one season removed from leading the AL in OPS) without giving up anyone they will really miss in 2010.

If that's not enough, Seattle is reportedly still considering bringing back Adrian Beltre and Russell Branyan.

I am currently designing a board game and I need to figure out what kind of materials most board games are made out of. I think it's cardboard, but I'm not completely sure.
I also know that it's not like a cardboard box witch is why i wanted to know, because that leads me to think it's not cardboard.

Usually it's a really thick, specifically designed cardboard.

My grandmother and i invented a board game and we'd really like to get it out into the market, but if there is no market for board games then we might not as well. Do you think there is still a sizable market in board games ?

Yes, board games are still marketable. Hundreds of thousands of board games are still sold every year. There are still numerous publishers of board games out there, however very few are open to submissions from unknown designers so you are probably going to be limited to self-publishing your idea.

The best place to get advice on this subject is amongst a community of like-minded people. There is such a community of board game designers located at the Board Game Designers Forum located here:
