Dog Eat Dog is a game where you control one company or a conglomerate trying to embezzle enough money to win the game. The big problem? Embezzling is against the rules. If you're caught the company has to pay a fine. You pollute to set up defensive strategies and in the end return to the 1980's. Ain't it great?
Who can leave out Steve Jackson's game that caused so many problems with the government? Illuminati is a tried and true Geek Game.
Formula De was introduced to me last spring. I hear it's popular, but I don't know anyone else who plays. I don't like watching racing, but this game really makes it interesting. I highly recommend getting it out if you have any NASCAR fans in the family.
I have both Deadwood and Kill Doctor Lucky. I even have house rules for Deadwood that add some excitement for the role playing crowd. Everyone has to play the part they are on when someone joins the scene.
KDL isn't too complicated, but it takes some time to figure ways to get the bugger locked up tight to get him.
"American Gods" Neil Gaiman
It's got the plot of a Zelazny story with the screwed up reality of Terry Pratchett and the dark, sinister, acid-trippy overtones of Robert Anton Wilson's "The Illuminatus Trilogy".
It's a must read.
Also look at Mike Tyson. For every crazy world title hoder, there are three or four seemingly civilized in the bunch. I'd have to say that Glenn Gould (piano player) probably suffered under the same condition.
I just waonder if most of this isn't because of their genius (or strength), but more because someone else saw it and wanted to monopolize it. By making someone focus only on one thing, they can become insensetive to anything else.

What exacty is a "pleased stone"? It would be a helpful thing to knowfor lots of reasons. If you buy it a shot, should it be on the rocks or neet?
