Mark Jackson's First Half 2000 Review
Mark Jackson, a pastor and avid gamer (see his Game Central Station site) who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, plays a lot of games. And he keeps a log of every single game he plays.Call it a personality quirk, call it downright weird... I call it an interesting read. Though there's not a ton of information here about each game (Mark has to write his sermons sometime, right?), it's always fascinating to see what other gamers are playing.
I hope you enjoy browsing the list, and if you have any questions or comments about these games (or any other board game, for that matter), please post a note in the Board Games Forum. You'll find a number of friendly, avid gamers happy to answer any questions you have. Of course, please feel free to post your own gaming reports in the Forum as well!
Following is Mark's compilation of what he played in the first six months of 2000.
Well, it's time for these silly reports again... Comments, as always, are welcome!
