I can't wait to read the article about hard to teach board games. I am usually the person in our group responsible for doing this and it can be so hard to do at times.

The DEXTERITY GAMES article is really awesome, its good for every player (new and advanced) to review that kind of games. Rhino Hero and Tokyo Highway are the games I still want to test since a few months ago.
