Yah! DS boardgames + home wireless network = worldwide boardgaming from my easy chair and with no monthly fee. Guess my daughter is going to have to find something else to do while I dominate her DS. lol Posted by Kevin Rutherford on Sep 5, 2007 at 03:42 PM | #

Nah, just get your own. :) I actually already use mine for gaming...I have the Space Dealer soundtrack ripped to MP3, and play it on my DS. I also have a homebrew stopwatch app I use for Das Motorsportspiel. But *real* boardgames, using the DS WiFi and local wireless connections? Awesome.
