Wed, 2007-09-05 18:15 — LunarDuality

You don't know who Dr. Reiner Knizia is? Why he's the "best living board game designer in the world" according to Lloyd Melnick, Chief Customer Officer of Merscom. What's Merscom? The company that will be developing Knizia's board games into video games for Xbox Live Arcade, the Nintendo DS, and the PC.

Considering the Knizia has over 300 board games (pdf link) and books published, they will have a broad catalog from which to choose. And the games could start arriving in early 2008. I say, why not just bring them all over to XBLA? Anyone object to that?

Press Release is here.
