The Polyhedral Universe is a column dedicated to gamers and the world of games, particularly table-top games.  There will be articles reviewing new games, especially those created by independent companies to include miniatures rules games, role play games, board games, and collectible card games.  I will discuss gaming at conventions within the United States.  Whenever possible, I will write and post interviews of game designers.  I will not, however, review electronic games or game systems as there are plenty of forums dedicated to that aspect.
