Three of those games were published in 2008, how strange!

Mesopotamian Gaming: "Watch the world's oldest board game, the Royal Game of Ur, being played" on boingboing.net
For reference, I brought up Moby Dick and Don Quixote as a joke that failed to land. Here is the history of the stranger/town dichotomy thing - it's a quote that is often misattributed. Also, we have discovered that when you google the title of literary classics, google auto-adds "movie" to the end of your query. How notable!

Hero's Journey! We especially talked about the Call to Adventure, which in modern writing pedagogy is often called the Inciting Incident.

Thanks!
