May 13, 2008 Hypercross Puzzle

Good luck everyone! Some of you who share my passion might find this fairly simple, while others will be completely lost.

I'll say this: All punctuation has been stripped, and exotic characters (such as vowels with umlauts) are replaced with normal letters A through Z.

Haven't finished yet, but your clues are excellent for someone who doesn't know but a few games!

Figured out all but 8 & 10 (you can find a LOT by entering what you have on boardgamegeek.com and doing a search in the Games category)

Stuck on a few, but you kept your profile up to date.

Got them all except #8. Any help?

Salt on #8 - it could be any animal.

[5] Thanks. Got it.

[3] - Good call, that helped fill in the holes...

Any salt on #10? What's the last picture?

Salt on 10 - Character's name from the movie (or the book) involving bugs, lots of big bugs....

Salt for 6? Squiddragon???What is that thing?

Edit: Got it. I had the third word wrong. Figured out the last once I had that corrected.

[8] You might be able to find that suave guy in the Copacabana.

[10] It's a mythical creature, from H. P. Lovecraft's writings.

[11] Thank you for the squid dragon help.

Your help for [8] made me laugh!

Finally got them all. Needed to research since I don't know games

Meeples! I found 8 hard.

This is a very nice selection of answers.

Curse my tiny monitor. What is the arrow pointing to in the last piece of #9?

Also, stumped completely on #4 (no access to BGG).

[16] It's pointing at the giant glowy dude holding Homer's hand

an enjoyable puzzle :) and I'm envious of your collection of games!

Major internet searching finally got me the answers. The clues were excellent though for those of us who do not know this theme. They gave me a good start for the search! Thanks!
