I dunno if I can justify getting it, though. I have no particular ideas for a board game. But if some of you do then this sounds like a decent investment:

Basically, it combines all the generic stuff you’d probably want for a board game with a book on how to design one. Probably would make a good gift for that teenager in your life who’s into gaming. Heck, I wouldn’t mind something similar for RPG supplements, honestly.
