We’re still getting hit by the snow in a lot of the country, fun in the beginning, but you’re going to need something to occupy you. Booze is a good start, but the next step is Virtuoso, a music theory board game.
First of all, just look at it. It’s a beautiful game. Second, it’s probably unlike any other game you have. It challenges you to answer trivia about music history and theory, composition, comprehension, and so forth. Pricing and release date haven’t been announced yet, but if you’re interested, send an email to the designer at heiseycb@gmail.com. And finally, Virtuoso is also meant for people that already know a thing or two about music, so if you are tone deaf or just music stupid, stick to Scrabble. [Caleb Heisey]

So aside from making a game fun, interesting and accessible, they’ve eschewed the “fun” and “accessible” bits – possibly even the “interesting” as well – to leave something that is a more elitist snobbery than pub board gaming.
Bah, I’ll stick to a game where everyone knows the rules and the playing field is more or less even. Who’s up for Monopoly?
looks to be stil concept stage with little info on how it actually works. sounds dull. but then there’re plenty of classical nerds out there i’m sure. although i don’t think this will be in gamleys any time soon.
