Bruce Gargoyle is 47% done with It's All a Game: The History of Board Games from Monopoly to Settlers of Catan

Still totally absorbed by this one...except for the Backgammon chapter. Snooze. Who knew that Monopoly boards were used to smuggle maps to prisoners of war in WWII??

Not sure yet where the acclaim is coming from for this one. The only person I'm really interested in is Roza and she's missing.

For some reason I thought Henry was an old man, from reading the blurb. He's not. Interesting.
