Holiday Game Updates: ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

Posted by Jeff W. {Avid Gamer} | 24-Dec-14 | 12 comments

Game Updates on BoardGaming.com

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the site,
Not a meeple was stirring, red, blue, green or white.

The workers were placed by the chimney with care
To spend a few actions moving presents from there.

The minis were nestled all snug in their foam,
Awaiting their turns to be painted in chrome.

And Admin Jim, AD, b0bb33z3r and Hai
Plus your narrator, who (it’s said) is a heck of a guy,

Prepared for the holidays and daily did chatter,
Behind the scenes where we all raised such a clatter.

Tirelessly working, typing fingers flew hot,
We crafted a Christmas gift for good old BGdot.

More rapid than eagles, Game Updates they came,
A bounty so rich only some we dare name:

“Now, kids’ games! Now, dice games! Ameritrash! Euros!
On, Asmodee! Flying Frog! And perhaps DC Heroes!

From the stodgiest wargame to the fluffiest micro,
Deckbuilders! Abstracts! The latest by maestros!

From Kickstarters delivered to new games on your shelf,
There are so many to play we’re quite beside ourselves!

So I hope you’ll excuse us if this poem seems slight —
But we’re pooped,
shagged,
exhausted…
Merry Christmas!
Good night.”

Yes – I do, Haiku.
My screen name – a blatant clue
Syllables? First two.

Do you, too, haiku?
You knew haiku, through and through.
Beaucoup haiku, true.

This was a treat to see when I was knee deep in Scotch tape and wrapping paper 🙂

And then:

The holidays came
With all their busy bluster
Now I can comment

Very nice indeed. I’ll have to save this one for future Christmas Eve game sessions (modified a bit, of course) for my family/gaming group.
