German board game creator having his works recreated on DS

We have a secret obsession with board games. Whether it be Arkham Horror, Settlers of Catan or Crimson Skies, we love getting the crew together and throwing down. And, with this latest news, our day just keeps getting better.

German board game creator Dr. Reiner Knizia will be bringing some of his games to the DS, thanks to publisher Merscom. Having never played any of the fellow's games, we still find ourselves interested. But, that's probably because the man has won more accolades than we have fingers and toes.

1. I LOVED Crimson Skies on the Xbox!

It would be awesome to play a strategic turn-based game on the DS based on that venue!

2. Man, his games are awesome ... Through the Desert and Blue Moon rock -- I play them with my girlfriend a lot. He also made a great Lord of the Rings boardgame. Fantasy Flight Games publishes a bunch of them here in the US.

Wow, this is great news! I'm looking forward to which ones they produce.
