Well, those are some overwhelming gearwheels, all right: a functioning replica of the Antikythera Mechanism made from LEGO. Pretty cool!

What anonymous memetic pollinator left that link?

I'm probably an easily crushed newb for most of these games and won't have any spare bandwidth for the first few months of this year but I could probably be persuaded later in the year to play Alien City, Cosmic Encounter, Tak, Ultima, and/or Zendo online. It might be fun to play the piecepack compatible games (Alien City, Tak (smaller variants), and Ultima) "play by (e)mail" where on my moves I also send back a piecepackr diagram of the current state of the game and at the end of the game make an animation of the entire game to post on the piecepack wiki -- those three games involve placing or moving pieces on a rectangular grid (initially random in the case of Alien City) so shouldn't be crazy difficult to communicate one's moves in such a fashion.
