This is the Conversation Forum for Great Board Games << Axis and Allies Really want to know more about board games? >> Subject: Games typos Posted Aug 15, 2003 by Pimms Lettuce   Posting 1 Great entry A few typos missed the eagle-eyes of the editor: Hare & Tortoise 'juggling the hare' > 'jugging the hare' (jugged hare being a way of preparing hare to eat - I think in Mrs Beetons cookery book. I definitely remember it wasn't juggling) Go Described succinctly by one Researcher as 'the ancient game of capturing the most amount of space by placing stones on a board', < put in end quote Cluedo where he murder took place > where the murder took place Escape from Colditz composed of a game board... > Escape from Colditz consisted of a game board... - and you know, although that was a quote from an official site about the game, I'm definite the 16 pawns is misleading - the number of pawns each player had depended on how many players there were - it certainly seemed like more than 16 on the board. Balderdash (if I remember correctly) - maybe this could be phrased differently if it isn't set up as a quote. First person has sneaked in a few times outside of obvious direct quotes; ditto on Othello/Reversi description and in intro to Backgammon I really liked this topic It has the largest contribution of thoughts I've made to any collaborative topic. Not too suprised the external link to at http://boardgamegeek.com was not included, hopefully interested researchers will pick it up by browsing the conversations eg (F126415?thread=298203) Pimms Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Games typos Posted Aug 15, 2003 by The h2g2 Editors This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 Excellent feedback, Pimms - we've now made those corrections.
