The Geek Weekly Issue #7

by Brad Cummings




Welcome to The Geek Weekly(TGW), a weekly roundup of interesting things happening on BoardGameGeek.com. Every day hundreds of comments and posts are made on BGG; it's impossible to keep track of it all. That's why we've created TGW as a way to highlight great content from around the Geek.

We do our best to provide a varied and diverse look at BGG each week. Found a post that you think should be featured? Shoot us a Geekmail.

Thanks,
Brad

Survive! Tracking Sheets
Some people count cards, others count Survive: Escape from Atlantis! tiles. To each their own I guess. In all seriousness, the file this week is a great way to keep track of what tiles have been players in the game, and even make sure you have a full set.
