Haven't been hooked up to tubes for about 6.5 years!
It was only a "little" brain tumor
Nah, my lack of "Player 2" is more down to my own reclusive nature, than anything.
Yeah, I've definitely been looking into the Card thing, and was considering doing them as a possible Xmas Gift, but.. That's a bit "Me, Myself and I", and you can't exactly give your family a deck of your own cards, can you!!!
It was bad enough seeing their faces as they opened up Xmas cards, one year, to find Santa-Plat on there. My family really couldn't give a rats arse about my games..

.... *sigh*
As for "actual board game design", I've always felt like anything I come up with should be playable with minimal effort. Like the idea of the SpikeDislike with a deck of cards that I did a few years back, where you basically use dice rolls to count cards, and try to avoid "landing" on a Spade/Spike.. It's nothing magical, and is far from being a decent game, but if you happened to have a deck of cards and a die on hand, you'd be able to give it a quick play.
I wouldn't like to design anything "HUGE!" without it at least having a videogame representation. .. And, hopefully, this Shoebox of Games will allow me to do just that.
Patent Wars might actually end up being playable, this time 'round.
