		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I set myself Mission Improbable - to get down to fewer than 20 unplayed games by 30 June 2010. This is the first of my month-end updates on progress to date.

		<description><![CDATA[This year&#8217;s game of the year in Germany has been announced today. In a bit of a surprise (to me, at least), the jury decided to give the award to Dominion, designed by Donald X Vaccarino and published by Hans-im-Gluck in Germany and Rio Grande in the UK.

It&#8217;s still in its infancy (the site rather than the GNOMEs) and anyone who has any ideas about (or talent in) tarting up the site should get in touch with Chris by email: [...]]]></description>

First time I&#8217;ve managed it, won&#8217;t be the last I&#8217;m sure. Good venue at the Red Herring pub in Gresham Street, even more so as it&#8217;s only a few [...]]]></description>
