One of my own long-lived projects is to make a boardgame. I've been too lazy with that but just a week ago my brand spanking new desktop PC lost its will to live taking all the games with it so all of the sudden there was a game-related void in my day.
I already had some thoughts on the theme, rules and strategies of the game so I quickly drew a board and got to work. Soon I was ready to run the first test games and soon after that I had spent seven hours just balancing, running test games, thinking of new rules and not eating a thing. What a great fun! It's almost like solving a puzzle of sorts. There are so many things to keep track of in order to make the game truly enjoyable. No longer I hesitate to call myself a nerd. If I ever did.
