Get the Glass

Here's a pretty fun little board game on the net: http://www.gettheglass.com/.
The artwork is amazing, the sound is great, the challenges are . . . challenging. The site is sponsored by the California Milk Processor Board, and it's quickly obvious that there is the underlying agenda to get players racking their brains to come up with all the reasons why it's vital to drink enough milk. It would be much more fun if they brought up the latest studies that showed that humans aren't genetically built to absorb lactose from milk past about age two, and those throughout the world who aren't naturally lactose intolerant have inherited a genetic mutation called "lactose persistence." And even then, the idea of ingesting another mammal's lactose secretions is . . ., well, I guess I'll get off my soap, er, milk box. Long live rice milk.
It's also a little disturbing that the protagonists we are charged with helping are criminals, and the dastardly enemies we are running from are law enforcement authorities. But that's another blog.
