Meng

Board Game Fanatic, and Father of Two, Meng is an Australian who became hooked on board games at high school, with such classics as Talisman and Diplomacy. Years later, he rekindled his interest while living in the United States, both immersing himself in the local gaming scene and also taking advantage of mail-order to expand his collection to some 300 items. After returning to Australia in 2008, and with little time left after work, study and travel, the majority of his gaming nowadays is with his two young children. Hoping one day in the distant future to teach them to play a rollicking game of Die Macher, in the meantime he provides more age-appropriate fare and tries to discuss some life lessons along the way. Meng goes by the handle meng on Board Game Geek.

I Still Call Australia Home

A reader asks us about games on a plane. In the immortal words of Neville Flynn, after the swearing was dubbed over for television, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey-fighting games on this Monday-to-Friday plane!" But then we took some Valium and answered the question.
