Journal by stoolpigeon on Thursday June 28, 2007 @12:47PM

The Biltmore area in Phoenix is full of lush golf courses and man made lakes. It's really beautiful and a place for the wealthy to enjoy.

I have not yet seen anyone point this person to some of the online implementations (commercial and OSS) of popular board games.
Examples:
Settlers of Catan (http://www.s3dconnector.com/)
Ticket To Ride (http://www.ticket2ridegame.com/)
Lost Cities (http://www.flexgames.com/)
Dune (http://homepage.eircom.net/~monalisa/Dune/

This is just a tiny fraction of boardgames available online. See a whole host of Online Boardgames at Board Game Geek in the following list...and elsewhere on the site:
