Be a Merger Mogul with the Game of Acquire.
I have been slicing an dicing some of my game play recently so I thought I would share. My goal is to play 1 game / day on average and I was curious how 2009 was for gaming. Turns out:
I logged 444 Plays of 127 different games in 2009.

“Life is short; play games.”
Happy new year to all of you. May 2010 be filled with the joy of play and the opportunity to share that with those you hold dear.
