Fun with family

I just got back from a week in Marion with my cousins and family. Marion is on Buzzards Bay off Cape Cod in Massachusetts. It was quite fun, not too buggy yet. Lots of bikes, ocean, puzzles and games.

People like Ricochet Robot. It has a nice feel, sort of like Set, where people can come and go, finding paths as they want. Similar to a puzzle as well. It would also be a nice game to implement as a computer programming exercise, in Commonwealth's CSII class, for example.
