Rgurskey mentioned upthread that there would be a board game section at BrickFair. I just noticed several examples in [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjjohn12/sets/72157607368605597/]TJJohn12's flickr stream:

This is just a normal Connect 4 board, but it looks like a Mindstorms unit is moving the pieces:

Bruce,
I played the Mindstorms Connect-4 machine at Brickfest several years ago. It was made by Steve Hassenplug and it is very good. It beat me with over half the positions unplayed.
I played the mindstorms connect 4 twice at brickfair. I lost the first game and went to a draw on the second one. I truly underestimated its abilities. I expect some time in the future plastic lego mindstorm robots will enslave the population of the earth! I fear intelligent plastic bricks and clowns too...
