Sorry to everyone, but there won't be a show this week.

Unfortunately a couple of things have come up. 1st, when my computer dies a few weeks ago, I didconnected all of the peripherals, and I seem to have lost the Power Cable for my printer!!!! The second thing, is a lack of time. This weekend has been filled with emptying the kitchen, hallway and bathroom. The decorators are in to repair the flood damage of a couple of months ago. So my studio (bedroom) is stuffed with other-room things, making the recording impossible.

Additional : The designer of the game has contacted me with the following corrections.

"I noticed only 2 small mistakes:

1) The Tofu (loved that comment about how disgusting it is) is given to the player in the first round only and directly into their hand. (Not shuffled with the Order cards). The Tofu was added to increase the level of interaction (read nastiness). Using it you can bring a pair of Meals to a tie thus preventing anybody from getting points from it.

2) When playing with less than 5 players, 2 meal cards are indeed added. However half of them are turned face down (just the same as the players)."

Hi reader and hopefully listener. My old web site comes up in position 1 on Google when you type in "Print and Play". I'd like to change that so that it points to this site instead. So if you've ever posted a link to the old site would you please change it to point to the new URL ( Http://PrintAndPlay.co.uk )instead? Thanks for your time and effort. - FNH

In the meantime why dont you check the Geeklist I made over on Board Game Geek that lists a bunch of Print and Play games you can make in 5 minutes.

Stick around it'll be fun.
