The shipping fee was so high I thought they'd be using the two-day thing, but I guess not. Hopefully today! It hasn’t arrived yet, Steve.

That little memory was nagging at me. I can "hear" that commercial in my mind, but just could not recall what the product was. Ah, thanks John. That little memory was nagging at me.

You brought creativity and intuition (and a lot of hard work, I'm sure) into play and created somethig unique, lovely and marketable. I can picture Quartile showing up in the Games 100 next time around, it's just that perfect. Ha! Now you've thrown down the gauntlet and I'll be spending endless hours trying to create an unplayable situation, lol. Another challence! You have every right to be proud, Steve.

Statements like that make me proud. SimplyFun did an excellent job taking my game to market and preserving the art aspect of it. There are not many games that you would want to leave on your coffee table as a piece of art but this is one of them. The fact that it is an excellent game that is quick to learn but takes a lifetime to master is also good. As a design note, I had to add in a rule of what you do when you can not legaly place a tile but it has never actually happened in all of the games I have played. Because the tiles are designed with math and rules you would have to try very very very hard to end up with a situtation where you can not legaly play a tile.

It's after midnight on the East Coast now, so I'm ready to hop over there and see if I can order it. Now all I have to do is gather up some friends so we can have a party and try it out!
