I'm cooking up a little content for us on what's been a slow week, but in the meantime, I thought everyone would like a gander at Mike's contribution on Boardgame News. He, BGN owner W. Eric Martin, and Ryan Bretsch participate in a great Roundtable discussion about "Gateway Games", what that even means, and whether such a term is even good for the hobby.
Head on over to this link and check it out, it's worth the read.
