BTW, today's purchases

No nice shoes or high-quality linen apparel for me today, but I did acquire

Liberte, a game ont he French Revolution. This is a topic that gets lots of treatment, but either too simplistic (Guillotine, though fun) or too complex (Azure Wish's La Revolution Francaise; I don't think I could even get most of my game geek friends to play this, because they're not polisci geeks as well). I'm hoping Liberte is in between.

Rome, a collection of three Rome-based gamettes that cover arena racing, Roman politics, and the Punic Wars at a *very* simple level. I'm thinking this is a good crossover game to merge "game players" with wargamers.

We shall see...

Both of those games look excellent. Please let me know how they are. I am always looking for new games, and the subject matter of both of these are especially interesting to me and just might go on my "to buy" list.
