one of my favs that has disappeared was Masterpiece which gave you a little art history, with famous painting cards and bidding and such.
Ooooh. We should totally design a Leverage board game. Like Clue, only you go around a museum stealing stuff.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I played most of the games mentioned, but one of my favs that has disappeared was Masterpiece which gave you a little art history, with famous painting cards and bidding and such.
We had that, but I always loved the concept more than the execution. See also, Match Game.

Our wings are not tired.
Games I loved: Milles Bournes, Trivial Pursuit, Connect Four, Yahtzee, Scrabble, Backgammon
Games I like(d): Clue, Battleship, Connect Four, poker, Uno
Games I loathed: Monopoly and most chance games. I really hated (and still pretty much do) any game the outcome of which was entirely based on chance. I just did not see the point.

I loved Masterpiece. I think if we found a Masterpiece set and a Clue set, we could TOTALLY put together a Leverage game, Tom.

Isn't that essentially the basis of Catholicism?
I think that is essentially the basis of Protestantism. The Catholics thought that there was good and evil in everyone, and you could "earn" good by good works, confession. Eventually this led to corruption and selling of indulgences and all sorts of things.
The Protestant view (in the Reformation) was that everything was black and dark in all of our souls, but some people had a pre-determined "cloak of grace" that covered up all the nastiness. And since it was all pre-determined, you had no control over whether you were going to heaven or hell BUT you didn't know which was you were to go, so you needed to act good just in case. It never really made since to me, but I was taught this at a nominally Catholic college, so maybe I am wrong.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We played card games and Risk. Sometimes Monopoly but my brother always got caught embezzling when he was banker.

Predestination is not found in all branches of protestantism -- that's the Calvinists.

If I had only known. I saw a Masterpiece game at a rummage sale only 2 weeks ago.
