Can a Boardgame Make You Cry?

My friend and former co-worker, Brenda Brathwaite, is an amazing game designer. She was working in video games when they were still done in 2D with little in the way of graphics. These days she's apparently been doing some amazing things with experimental board game design. Read this article from the Escapist. It covers it all better than I can (and since they already did it, it saves me a lot of time). I found the article and, more importantly, the subject of the article to be incredibly fascinating.
