Speaking of Greg Costikyan...
Greg posted to his weblog last weekend Dot Boom, a satirical card game of the Dot Com era. He designed the game last year, tried unsuccessfully to sell it, and has just now put it up for our amusement. Players take the role of venture capitalists who fund dubious dotcom enterprises in hopes of taking them public and cashing out before the bubble bursts. Whoever makes the most from IPOs before the inevitable crash is the winner.
Even if you have no intention of playing the thing, I recommend you look at the game cards that go with it. They are a hoot and a half.

Gawd, that looks brilliant. I want to make a set and play at once!
