Ramses Pyramid, Reiner Knizia, Microfigs, all part of the LEGO Games System

See the LEGO Games System dice (actually, it's a die, but they don't like using that word - sounds, I guess, too fatalistic)? See Reiner Knizia's name on the game (you know, probably the world's most ubiquitous game designer - the guy who must've invented at least 500 games by now)? See that teeny tiny playing piece - a.k.a. "microfig?" See some of the excitement this is already generating amongst the LEGO-loving masses? Even before they have experienced the game itself? Even though they haven't had a chance to design their own unique, personalized variations? Or seen even some of the many more games that make up the LEGO Games System?

Does this explain my excitement about having even a small part in the development of this concept? Does this in any way account for my delight in being able to share this all with you at last?

I'm thinking: "yes."
