inspired by integration

I'm always interested in infrastructure that brings people together and facilitates communication. I'm currently exploring social software, markup & scripting languages, and abstract games.

Epaminondas

This, sir, is a great game. Please check out the rules here: http://www.abstractgamesmagazine.com/epaminondas.html

The only drawback to it is that it takes so long to set up. I know, I’m such a whiner. :)
