Re: [pbmserv] Barticus wants Stymie and ConHex challenges

Several years ago, I was asked to list the ten best games of all time. I listed Go as number one and TwixT and number two, and commented that those two were far above all the others. These games are already in my top ten, and while they are not (yet) seriously threatening the top two of my pantheon, you will note they each have elements which remind me of the richness of those venerable games.

Ugh. There's a vague reference there. In context there is only one reading that makes sense, but the first time through most people will give it the grammatically correct reading which is wrong. When I say "these games" I mean Stymie and ConHex, not Go and TwixT.
