[Ticket to Ride-the board game](http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9209/ticket-to-ride)is avaliable on Android (I’ve got it on my iPhone). It’s worth the money as it’s a very fast game and a lot of fun. In fact, I can’t go back to the board game now as this has become so much more enjoyable than counting all of the pieces.

I saw this and signed up for free. 2.75% is taken out of payments. They ship the reader in 3-7 days. You’ll need to provide banking information and either your FEIN or last 4 of your SSN.

Interesting.

I probably won’t bother this year, but may keep it in mind for next year. I’d have to get the troop to agree to cover the processing fees (which seem in line with what other retailers have to pay their banks).
