We've Switched to UPS!

Tanga has switched to UPS because they’ve beat Fedex’s rates. We are still working out the tracking/showing shipping info on our site as Joe has had to reorganize everything from Fedex to UPS code. Your orders have almost certainly shipped if it has been more than 4-5 days and they are on their way. TangaJoe will be working to get this updated ASAP!

Thanks for your continued support…

Agricola - I feel dumb!

Agricola - I feel dumb!

Ok guys, over Thanksgiving I sat down to play Agricola. Well, actually to read through the rules and figure HOW to play Agricola. I must be losing my rule reading/start playing intelligence since my old days of Uberplay as I sat there reading it and wondering what in the world was going on. I read through it twice and couldn’t figure it out. Granted, I was recovering from Strep Throat and felt

Verve640 Takes Over Puzzle Featuring

Verve640 Takes Over Puzzle Featuring

Hey, Gang,

I’m passing the torch to Verve640 so that Aaron and I can focus on getting other cool things done here, we think, we hope.

Verve will be in charge of Featuring all the 7pm puzzles… though, of course, the whole thing is still, essentially, a group effort. He will continue Moderating puzzles, as well, but mostly from the Nominated queue.

So please direct all Feature-like questi

Unfeatured Puzzles Return - Saturdays at 7am, Pacific

Hey, Gang,

Starting this Saturday, we’re gonna start Unfeaturing puzzles again, but here’s the twist: All Unfeatured puzzles (if there are any that week) will at one date and time:

Saturday mornings at 7am, Pacific.

(Hmm, can you use two colons like that in a sentence?)

So there could be 4 or 5 of them… or 8+… perhaps just one… or maybe none, if we didn’t come across any

Murdoctor in Charge of Puzzles until Monday

Since both Aaron and I (renfurdson & Arnott) will be going to BGG.Con in Texas this week – in case you hadn’t heard, we’ve written/are ruuning a Puzzle Hunt for the event – we needed to give someone the keys to the store. You know, in case of emergencies. Well, okay… Tanga emergencies.

So we went with the doctor because… who doesn’t trust a doctor? Well, okay… other than lawyer

New Hypercross Schedule: Every Other Day

New Hypercross Schedule: Every Other Day

Yeah, it doesn’t add that many extra Hypercrosses a month (like 2, I think), but it’s something! And best of all, we’re doing this because we’ve gotten a lot of nice Hypers in the last month or so.

So, that means there’s a new Hypercross this Sunday.

Enjoy.

My wifey is making me dress up as a 70s dude, complete with afro. She’s a 70’s chick and looks a lot hotter than I do.

Halloween Puzzle Friday!

Halloween Puzzle Friday!

This Friday, the tricks will be the treats, as we will be publishing LOTS of Halloween themed puzzles throughout the day.

Most of them will be Unfeatured, and there’s no set schedule for them – they’re still coming in, so we’re not even sure how many there will be! – so just keep checking the Unfeatured section this Friday, October 31.

Unfeatured Puzzles Will STOP on Monday, October 27

HD DVD Users Out There?

I have access to some good HD DVDs but was wondering if there are any Tanganites that actually bought one of these players and wants to continue purchasing media for it?

You too will play games in this building.

I moved to Alna, Maine 5 years ago and I’ve been making do with a cramped basement workshop. Finally, my workshop building is under construction! It’s 30 by 80 feet with 12 foot ceilings. There will be a garage, a wood shop and a large art/gaming space. Planning is underway for AlnaCon 1, a gaming retreat.

The TangaMonkey is in Mexico for his kid’s “Fall Break” and I won’t be able to see the BYU game tomorrow night. Will anyone be watching this on VS tonight and have a SlingBox hooked up? If so, would you mind me watching the game with you? You can email me at jeremy at tanga dot com with your login info! I’ll even throw in 100 Tanga Points! Hola…

It has just come my attention that Postum is a thing of the past, it always was a thing from the past, but now it is a thing OF the past.
This is a terrible, terrible situation!

It’s cold tonight here in St. George, and I want to snuggle up and sip a nice, warm, full bodied, and slightly sweet beverage before I catch the night train, but alas it’s not to be :(

Yahoo Email Problems

It seems that Yahoo is deferring or blocking a portion of the email we send users with a yahoo.com email address.

I am jumping through all the hoops* that may help the problem. In the meantime, if you want, you could send a message to the Yahoo email people and request that they quit being mean to Tanga and let our email through.

Wife is Away, Time for Dad (and 3 Kids) to Play in SLC!

The wifey is heading down to Scottsdale AZ with some girlfriends to “escape” – whatever that means! :-) I mean common’, my mom had 7 of us and she never “escaped!” LOL

So I’m taking the kidos up to SLC for the weekend to visit some family, go on some rollercoasters (if the rain doesn’t come) and eat some good food. (Red Mango, Brick Oven.)

I will have a 4.5 hour drive with three kids under
