Well, I'm glad to hear that.  I guess you won't have access to the same computers, and would not be able to continue a game.  The way you were talking, I thought you wouldn't be able to play anymore for a long time.  I would be sad for sure.

I don't know how long it would take, but I have finally been able to translate the rules of Dejarik into English.  Actually Bewy gets most of the credit, but the English was a little rough and needed some smoothing out, which I did.  But he had the hard job and deserves the bulk of the credit.  Anyway, it's supposed to be short.  It's kind of a chess game (well, that's a stretch, but nevertheless...), and I thought it'd be nice to test it out with someone.  Rounds are supposedly pretty quick, so we might be able to get through a couple before you go.  Want me to send you the translation and we can give it a go?  Perhaps we can improve the advanced rules, which the author recently admitted to me he was simply throwing out there without really testing, and can perhaps make some improvements.
