Here are a few photos from Toy Fair 2008 that offer a glimpse at the Buffalo Games show floor area. This first one introduces us to “Nicky the Kid.”  Looks like this lone ranger of the Toy Fair took a rest stop to help demo the Bandits card game .Â

Not necessarily casual board game related, but many of us casual gamers have a background of dabbling or lovingly playing Dungeons and Dragons over the years. For those that did not hear about the recent passing of Gary Gygax, the co-creator of the first major role playing game, Dungeons and Dragons, as well as the role playing studio TSR, Inc., there will be services this weekend. Details below were found at the Board Game Geek forums .
