We went to Game Stop Whatever yesterday evening to pick up a Warcraft DVD for Russet ($2 for a 14 day demo) and were browsing the DS cartridges when I saw one in the puzzle/brain training category called Brain Voyage. And on the back it listed "By Dr. Reiner Knizia".

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I knew I should have known that name, but I couldn't place it. After we got home after going to my aunt's to play dominoes (I got SO horribly hammered in the first game! six rounds (out of 13) that I had no starters!) it hit me: it is only one of the most recognized names in table top game design. I didn't know he'd done a DS implementation.

I should check to see if he's doing anything on the Wii. Not that I have one. Yet.

I've been thinking about getting one, and as it happens, they had one on the shelf when I was in Best Buy a few weeks ago. Maybe I should've pounced on it. One interesting thing that it can do (amongst the many interesting things that it can do) is that apparently you can use a Nintendo DS as a form of remote with it.
