All good points.

I think another aspect is that a bunch of these companies got too big too fast, and/or helmed by artists with no real business acumen. Add to the perfect storm a rough economy over the past 5 years and we're seeing a thinning of the herd.

It's not like board games are the only entertainment segment feeling this retraction. Hollywood, with a lot of board game parallels, and a whole host of other entertainment markets are shrinking at historical rates.

Entertainment is going to look almost unidentifiable in 5 years.

And Tanuki Games must be protected. Chris has hooked me up too many times. Tanuki till I die.

Some recent plays:

Senjutsu: Battle for Japan is a quick little PVP game set in medival Japan, a theme right up my alley. (I can't recall if I've posted this one.)

More Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Seconc Era. This one is weird - I can't tell if it's really good or if it's great. Some clunk, as you get with every Chp Theory Games production, but the high points are so damn high...

SETI is a game fo the year candidate, imo. I added a little LED light to the sun because of course.

Another game we keep going back to: Retun to Dark Tower. I STILL haven't played it with the latest expansion. I wonder what that means...

Dark Quarter is a Chronicles of Crime-type whodunit with excellent app integration. The player characters here are more developed than CoC, which isn't saying much, and has more mysticism and voodoo in the stories. Not much replayability, but that's fine.

I have officially run out of room. Next step is to do like Tokyo and build up.
