Oh Dog, you Sleuth!

The new faces of Family Business.

On Friday night, Steven and Erin came over and we played a very long game of robot strategies. I was just about to win when Jeremy knocked over the complicated board ‘accidentally’. So we ended up playing Family Business with entirely re-made cards Jeremy and a friend created over ten years ago. It was a lot of fun. The basic premise is you are a mob family and you are trying to kill off your opponent’s mob families. You work from a deck of action cards that starts off the cycle of killing and revenge. This is the greatest game ever created. It’s even better than Time’s Up. There was so much interest that everyone wanted to continue the modification even further by creating all new family gang cards. So on Saturday, all of us went down to the amazing used magazine store and picked up some magazines to make new cards from. Above is a sampling from two of my new families. I made an entire gang of babies that I can’t wait to use in battle.

This site hits the big time today, with a mention in the Boston Globe. Eat your heart out, Jami. This is the entry about Pynchon.

Jeremy pointed out this site to me, just now, it’s a collection of disturbing auction items from ebay.
