| Mind Sports Olympiad, Prague, Post #4 |
Francis_K_Lalumiere Reports: Francis here, with one last update from Prague.
Sunday was the last day of the MSO, featuring several tournaments (including the scary-looking Czech Scrabble…) and still a lot of “free play” in the main room, where players can simply snag a game from the shelves and have at it.

| Mind Sports Olympiad, Prague, Post #3 |
Francis_K_Lalumiere Reports: Still in Prague! The weather looks like it'll finally clear up. We've had nothing but clouds and rain (albeit just a bit of it) for the last three days.
Here's a better look at (parf of) the immense building where the MSO is taking place, right smack in the middle of Prague. Beautiful place -- and huge!

| Mind Sports Olympiad, Prague, Post #2 |
Francis_K_Lalumiere Reports: Friday turned out to be busier than Thursday, especially in the evening, and for obvious reasons.
Work and school are over, and the locals are now free to join in on the fun!
So more players played more games everwhere in the municipal building that's home to the Prague sports department. And it's huge, with a metric ton of vast rooms all around its innards.

| Mind Sports Olympiads begins in Prague |
Francis_K_Lalumiere Reports: Francis K. Lalumiere here, reporting live from Prague!
I'm attending the Mind Sports Olympiads, a yearly week-long event of abstract gaming tournaments. Chess, Go, and so on... Other games find a spot here (there's an Agricola tournament, for instance), but it's mostly abstract games.
This year, the MSO is making a big splash with the 10th anniversary of the GIPF Project, a series of six abstract games that have garnered a heap of awards.

HighmoonMedia Reports: Highmoon Media Productions and MonkeyGod Enterprises present At the Edge of Dreams. The body of a Faean lord is found skewered by an iron lance, one of his retinue surviving long enough to whisper, "Mortals" An entire human family is found ruthlessly slaughtered in their sleep, traces of Faean magic still lingering in the air. Ancient pacts between the Faean and the village of Graymeer have ensured a lasting peace over the centuries. Now, however, with ever increasing atrocities occurring to both sides, the pact is strained to the point of breaking. And if they break, there will be a war between the Mortals and Faean, a war that will escalate to throw all of the Shield Islands into chaos.

| War Plan Pacific available for pre-order |
AnnetteBrooks Reports: Hampstead, NC, 30 September 2008. Shrapnel Games would like to announce that we are now accepting pre-orders for War Plan Pacific, an exciting new take on the epic struggle in the Pacific during the Second World War. War Plan Pacific recreates on your computer Japan's Imperial ambition to create the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. From the opening strikes against the forces of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, and the Netherlands in 1941 when the Japanese seemed unstoppable, to their surrender four years later under threat of atomic annihilation, War Plan Pacific is a game of grand strategy focusing on the air and naval operations that shaped history for one or two players (multiplayer supported through live Internet play).
