Some time a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled on a discussion of the FTL game here.
I never game, but I got it for my son and he has been enthralled for a solid week at least.
He has been playing shoot-em-up games for a while, but he says "Daddy, this is the first one that really makes me use my mind."
So, thanks, I guess.
He needs something else to do with himself, but I am glad that he is learning to think like a leader rather than an animal, at least.

Faster Than Light?
Gottcha...Thanks for that info.

A quick Google search turns up, Faster than Light. This sounds a lot like Enders Game. 'This my favorite book, TBH.

Sorry, I was under the impression that "I" was the one failing to be with it! Silly old me!
Faster Than Light is a single player Steam game.
You are the captain of a spaceship, and you have to actually manage the entire operation of the ship, not just fly around and shoot.
Apparently, there is quite a bit to do. Give it a whirl, for $10 it seems like a worthwhile game.

This is exactly Enders Game! That's worth a read for him, since you were asking for books for him earlier this year. The game sounds cool!
