I've taken a short break from doing any game design as I am awaiting feedback from multiple sources on Open Rails.  Initial informal reviews have been positive and I'm optimistic that with some minor tweaks that this game could have legs.

Beyond that, I think I'll put an entry in a recent BGG contest I started for getting some free quality Steam expansions  out there.  I have a couple designs in mind and I'm thinking that Colorado/Silverton might be a great area to adapt to Steam.  I'm picturing a one-player game but playable by two and maybe three.  I'm thinking of doing some combination of market forces with rules on disappearing and reappearing resources.  A few other areas are coming to mind as well for larger games with less contortions in the rules.  I need to just print out a map and start hitting it.  

Finally, I haven't forgotten about good old Bindle Rails.  I'm planning on getting a few games with some of the expansions in this week before I break out on a new map.

But all that work will hold as my youngest brother Justin's in town.  He was mad that we played Downturn instead of Open Rails last time he was in.  Open Rails was started the weekend after he was in, so hopefully he's not too upset with a chance to play it this weekend.  Now, if I can get him to a gaming session in Euclid this weekend, that would be pretty cool.  :-)
