	BU's Botticelli runs with spirited motivation ::

		The fun continued as Botticelli competed in the Iona Meet of Champions, placed 10th at the New England Championship and then accomplished perhaps her greatest achievement yet in winning the America East Individual Championship and leading the team to victory.

		What follows is an exaltation of a card game all game-players should learn, an introduction to a war of minds that befits parties and a revisitation of the rules of a classic.
		No props are needed, and it's not the sort of drinking game that requires participants to swill when they screw up--it's simply an amusement that goes nicely with good bourbon.
		Botticelli is a teaser to minds that have a hard time separating first names from surnames.

		Born in Florence, Botticelli was exposed to the rich art tradition offered by that city.
		Botticelli's combination of a goldsmith's eye for detail and a mathematician's sense of geometry created an oeuvre that was both highly decorative and compositionally innovative.

		I was sometimes a sore loser, but in retrospect I think this happened when I was beaten by the game, not by the players.
		That's why I try to write simple games, to avoid that feeling that there's something you were too stupid to get.
		There is absolutely no strategy to the game, aside from choosing the single best bet (or, really, not playing at all) -- yet people will play it for hours, usually without even understanding the rules.

		Around 10 years ago, she realized the questions could become the basis for a board game, and she began to create the game model and write 700 questions, which she said are intentionally provocative and based on hypothetical situations.
		But she persevered and finally launched her game last December, with an initial run of 500 units selling out in the first 12 days after the game was featured on CityTV, CFRB radio and in Toronto Metro newspaper.
		Recently, she received a letter from a chassidic Talmud teacher who said the game was “holy” and embodies the essence of the Talmud, as it is a lesson in choosing between alternatives.

	About the Renaissance Artists - The Renaissance Art Game - BirdCage Press
		Botticelli, which means "little barrels," was a nickname given to his rotund older brother that later spread to the whole family.
		Botticelli's father, a lowly tanner, worked hard to give his children a better chance in life.
		Later, Botticelli was drawn to the teaching of Savonarola, a monk who accused Florentines of living immorally and exhorted them to burn their books, paintings and other luxuries in what he called a "bonfire of the vanities." Botticelli may have thought his own paintings were not pious enough.

		games are flexible and interactive; characteristics of the "board" and pieces are easily changed, and this may lead players to develop variants or new games.
		These games are challenging; my playtesters and I were unable to solve the first puzzle (turn the rhombus of six pennies into a hexagon) in less than five moves, although the authors state there are no less than 24 ways to do it in three moves.

		In the game, the multi-layered Oedipa strips plenty of her clothes off, but she never really approaches any sort of nudity thanks to all her bundles of clothing.
		However, the game may be a larger allegory for the broader scheme of the detective story about to begin.
		Strip Botticelli is a means of indicating that the Tristero mystery will never lie open, naked and exposed, because there are always deeper layers to be uncovered.
