      Lorien,
      There's no need for you to apologize. I'm convinced that you're doing a lot of work on this project.

      I just wanted to point some people to your movie/site, so I'm glad you're doing.

      Creator Lorien Green on September 19, 2011

      Lasse,

      Yes, definitely! I've been updating the news section and blog snippet, but not nearly often enough, and obviously that release date is NO GOOD. I'll give it some attention this week. And FYI, I was reviewing edited segments over the weekend. It can't come out fast enough, but it IS coming. Apologies for letting the site get stale.

      Creator Lasse Petersen on September 19, 2011

      Hi Lorien.
      Is there any plans for updating your website (boardgamemovie.com)?
      It's sorely lacking in news updates, and it still has the movie dated as coming out Spring 2011.

      Creator Christopher Smyth on August 12, 2011

      Looking good Lorien! I can't wait to see this

      Creator susan leary on August 11, 2011

      hey Lorien got your update today and not being a "gamer" didn't understand a lot of the lingo, however congratulations on following your dream to completion!

      Creator Lorien Green on August 2, 2011

      Hey again, Christopher,

      Update will be coming next week! I've got something en route I want to include. Lots of new stuff to report, and to show. :)

      Lorien,

      Thanks for Update #6. Sounds like a Going Cardboard: World Tour T-shirt is in order.

      Christopher: Yes, loads of very big news, I'll post an update very soon! - Lorien

      RISK... love that game.

    24. Missing_small

      Creator Sean Huxter on April 24, 2011

      I'll always have fond memories of RISK. My friends had the old version with wooden cubes and oblongs. But my modern favorite is Robo-Rally. I love everything about that game.

      Not a game collector, but very interested in the documentary. Love Carcassonne and Monopoly the most, but still enjoy a game of Enchanted Forest. :)

      This is great, I'm very excited to see the final film. Keep on going.

      Creator Hans Scharler on April 12, 2011

      I love that there are so many people that love what I love. Can't wait to see the final film. Keep us updated if you have any screenings. GenCon and/or Origins might be a good place to rent out a theater. I might be able to help set something up...?

      Creator Amy Theorin on March 20, 2011

      Wow! Who knew we weren't the only ones who continue to love creative board games in this increasingly digital world! Can't wait to see the movie!

      I have to say that the progress has been great. More than half-way in less than a day!

      I've seen a rough cut, and this is going to be THE definitive documentary on what's been happening, quietly, slowly, but building momentum for the past decade in board gaming. It has been a silent explosion that's about to be heard.

      Lorien has even flown to Germany specifically to document what's going on where the action is.

      This documentary will be important.
