Board game meets art

Link of the day for Monday, July 30

I have never seen a game so beautifully drawn as Get The Glass. Other than being an obvious sponsor for Milk and dairy products, this online board game beats all others in terms of superior graphics, a gripping soundtrack, and easy playability.

The game is similar to traditional board games where you roll a dice, move a number of squares, and pick from one of three decks. If you're lucky, fortune goes your way, and you can roll again to move closer and closer to your goal. If you're unlucky, however, you may be forced to move back, or end up in jail where you must decide to attempt daring escape, or wait for someone to bail you out.

What sets this game apart from any others I've seen are the intense graphics, all beautifully drawn in Flash format. Needless to say, the requirements for this game are a little extreme - you need a minimum 1024 x 768 display, and a broadband connection is required to play. As well, this is a game that the whole family can enjoy (no violence at all, just pure fun).

So why not poor yourself a tall glass of cold, white, milk, and enjoy the coolest board game on the Internet.
