comment Mini game within a game
Actually, the only answers I expected were "Yes" and "No", instead of examples. Since people answered with examples, I'm fine with leaving this one closed.

comment Would a duel model between Khadors' Sorcha and Circles' Kaya seem realistic?
Asking for opinions isn't really how this site works, I'm afraid. Could you turn this into a more definitively-answerable question?

comment Can I create my own version of Monopoly and distribute it ?
+1 for the bit about not being your lawyer. Copyright/patent/trademark law varies enough that it's worth consulting a professional.

comment In Dominion, how do Duration cards interact with King's Court / Throne Room?
To be clear, you can Throne Room a Tactician, it just won't do any good the second time the Tactician is played.

Brazening is an instantaneous event, not a state during which play can happen.

comment Something that only happens every X turns
There's no limit to the turns, no cards, no path, no required each-turn actions. The board is made up of tiles.

comment Something that only happens every X turns
These are great ideas! Unfortunately, I can't disclose much about the game till it's published, so there won't be much talk of the mechanics yet.

comment What makes a cooperative board game actually a game?
This is basically why I was asking -- your answer brings a different perspective on what makes games worth playing, and I like that.

comment Why are there fewer board games with a triangular grid?
@StuartPegg: I don't get it -- from what I can tell, Milton Keynes is built on mostly a rectangular grid: maps.google.com/…

comment Do you have to reveal your hand when using Treasure Map and not trashing a TM from your hand?
I think the golden rule of Dominion needs a clarification here -- if you must do as much as you can, then why would you not always reveal your hand?

comment What has been the popularity trend for D&D Miniatures?
@whoever, when you vote a question down, it's quite helpful to leave a comment explaining why.
