  • I recently had a blast from my childhood when I bought the board game Scotland Yard,
    which is a game that pits a team of detectives searching for the
    elusive "Mr.X." For a more detailed description of it, go here... "Scotland Yard Review."
    Before I go on, as you can tell, I'm not above playing board games even
    at my age, but I don't care.  Anyways, it's a game that I haven't
    played for 15 years, so it was a nice feeling playing it again. 
    It's rather fun and pretty simple to play, but it's a lot harder to
    play the part of the detectives than I remember.  We had to modify
    the rule a bit as a handicap, and may consider modifying it again a bit
    the next time we play.

    Playing the game really was a reminder to me at how much years has passed by
    since I was still a young boy.  Sometimes I feel like I've never
    left that age, but reality would remind me to think otherwise.
