Recently added to the I'M BORED In The Wild reader gallery: this photo of my friend Cédrick Caumont in FNAC, Gallerie Toison D'Or in Brussels (Belgium) with the French version, JE M'ENNUIE. Cédrick is a board game publisher at Repos Production, a company that publishes my favorite board game: 7 WONDERS (you can also find out more about 7 Wonders on BoardGameGeek). Repos also publishes other great games, including a poetry writing game and other games for adults as well as younger kids.
Anyway, I am SO EXCITED about the fact that I'M BORED (or rather, JE M'ENNUIE) is sitting in at least one bookshop in Brussels right now. :-)
Love this! Also, saying "Je M'Ennuie" is SOOOOOO much more satisfying than "I'm Bored."
:-D
