milllou is the deigner of Millennium Vacation, a game with glow-in-the-dark pieces.

Greg A.
Tell me about Millenium Vacation please.

milllou
Have you played the game at all yet?

Greg A.
No.

boardgamesADM
milllou -- not yet! I thought I would get my in-laws to play on Sunday, and they had to leave before we could get a game in.

milllou
It's a glow in the dark family vacation game for 2-8 players 10 and up.

boardgamesADM
But I did read through the rules, and it seems like an interesting take on the "roll-the-dice" and move game. Seems like some decent opportunities for strategy to play a role. Is that accurate?

Mary
Erik, Greg and Millou - good night. Enjoyed the company.

boardgamesADM
Mary -- thanks for stopping by!

Greg A.
Bye Mary.

Mary
Thanks, it was fun.

....... Mary left .......

The game has family values built into the game, not just by playing a game with a family or friends.

boardgamesADM
Greg -- Do you know of any other games with glow-in-the dark components? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

milllou
millenniumopoly had glow parts on the bottom of their houses. This game has many areas that glow. The entire board doesn't. It's great with a black light, though.

Greg A.
Hmmm, didn't The Mummy's Curse (or something like that) have a glow in the dark Mummy?

boardgamesADM
Greg -- I think I remember that one! Did the mummy come in a plastic tomb that opened? I seem to recall destroying something like that as a child...

Greg A.
I've never seen it, only heard about it.

boardgamesADM
milllou -- Greg has written an article (Issue 8 of Counter magazine, Feb. 2000) in which he expresses a belief that we're living in the golden age of board games. Would you agree? milllou
I think that board games are at their height and climbing. It would be great to outlaw the handheld games for a day a week. Board games bing people together instead of apart.

Greg A.
Agreed. Greg S. has an excellent Alan Moon quote on his website - "Gaming is about social interaction."

boardgamesADM
Greg -- which is a wonderful quote, especially since gamers often get tagged as being social outcasts.

boardgamesADM
milllou... could I still play Asteroids (aka Void) at pogo.about.com? :-)

milllou
you could play 2 times per week.

boardgamesADM
Thanks for the 2x per week exception! Hey, guys -- thanks for stopping by! Feel free to hang around if you like, but I need to go take care of some stuff before heading off to sleep.

Greg A.
Well, I must get going as well. I look forward to readin the parts I missed. Bye.

....... Greg A. left .......

boardgamesADM
Take care, all. I'll be back here next Monday night. Probably 9 p.m. again.
