Popspotting #184: “Lego Rico” (Dec. 22, 2011)
Today’s guest is Chris Weddle (@chrisweddle), head of a geeky household in Franklin, Indiana. This married father of two knows his LEGO, knows his gadgets, and enjoys a rich library of media without having to suffer the indignity of cable television service. He brings us up to speed on “Farscape,” adds his endorsement of “Farscape,” and introduces the board game “Puerto Rico.” Then, in trivia, we test his knowledge of island-born actors and silly walks.

Loving the Puerto Rico recommend. I have a game with a similar set of mechanics, called Race for the Galaxy. More complex than PR, but has a strong theme and rewards repeat play.
