	Check (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In games such as chess, shogi, and xiangqi, a check is an immediate threat to capture the king (or general in xiangqi).
		Blocking a check is done by moving a piece (from the checked king's army) to a square in line in between the checking piece and the checked king.
		Checking is often used in combinations with many other tactics or simply to force an opponent into a position where the opposing king can be checkmated, otherwise taken advantage of, or is otherwise worse for the opponent.

		The board includes, in combination, a game board having a planar surface with vertically raised walls and two holes targeted at the center of the shorter edges which define a goal opening such that the goals face each other at opposing ends of the game board.
		The game board is covered with a cover, which may be made of a ferromagnetic material, or which may overlay a metallic mesh.
		[0012] The game board is designed and tested to resist a low to medium force impact, and to resist exterior water damage because it is enclosed in a polymer based carrying case.

	generation5 - Simple Board Game AI
		Despite the fancy name, it is surprisingly simple: an array identically sized to the game board is used to store the "usefulness" of each corresponding board position—the higher the value, the more likely the agent will move there.
		Now for a small board like tic-tac-toe, an influence map is not necessary but for larger games (like Virus (15x15, 225 positions) or Pente (19x19, 361 positions)) influence maps can be indispensable to assess the large number of positions.
		One of the demonstrations implement the Virus game, and the applet allows the agent's influence map to be visualized as a gradient (white to yellow, yellow to green):

	Amazon.com: Settlers of Catan Board Game: Toys & Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In this award-winning board game for three or four players, Catan is an imaginary unexplored island, and players are explorers and settlers.
		The thing that really makes the game is that there is always a hot commodities market, with players trading to trade resources they don't need in exchange for those that are more useful for their game strategy; each resource is useful in different combinations for building different things.
		The game is fun, and once you learn the many rules (not too complicated, but probably too many for kids under 13) you can finish a 3 to 4 player game in an hour.

	Eco - Review of "Mystery of the Abbey" game
		A few months later, some visiting friends suggested that a board game might be a fun way to spend the evening.
		It quickly became apparent that the game called for more strategy than Clue, and a better memory, too – and, in the spirit of the best monks, we were certainly enjoying our beer: a beverage not known for enhancing memory retention.
		By the end of the game, we had created new modes of Gregorian chant, we had issued various religious decrees and false proclamations, we had cheerfully sent each other into penance, and we had successfully navigated the maze of rooms and changing conditions to finally determine a winner.

		Played on a round board, players roll dice and move their game pieces in two opposite directions at the same time.
		The basic object is to be the first to remove all 10 pieces from the board by advancing all of them around the board and back to your home territory, although the game does offer some shortcuts to scoring.
		It seems like every game is a nail biter and you can never be sure who will win until the end.

	World of Warcraft WarCry : World of Warcraft Boardgame Review : Page 1
		Fantasy Flight Games was kind enough to send us a review copy of their World of Warcraft boardgame, and if there's anything we love as much as computer games, it's boardgames.
		The quick start suggestions on the back of the game manual suggest that the players spend their first action on a 'town action,' which allows them to train their skills or purchase items from the merchant.
		All the players in our game agreed, making this their first move, and we all ended up spending most or all of our starting five gold on two level one skills.

		In the game you have to pay for doodads if you land on the doodad square and then you buy whatever card you draw, which is not how it works in the "real world".

		The game seems to suggest that the bank will allow you to borrow to purchase a business, this is usually not the case.
