... I made it, I made it! And I'm just getting up too :) And I was the _frist_ to leave - that B2O crowd goes so late into the night!! I got in no less than...
Dave B. and I will take all comers! In all honesty, Dave is a stronger, more consistent player than I am, but fortunately it's rare that we both suck at the...
... Hey! I didn't know my Croke partner was hanging around! ... I think Richard has that backwards... Anyway, I was pretty off for the last two games. It's...

Zopp is an excellent dexterity game inspired by soccer. The craftsmanship is up to Zoch's usual extremely high standards, and the game is great fun. It is...
... Got my Zopp game today. We played a 4 player game after work today. Great fun! It's definitely more difficult to play than Crokinole and I think it will...
