I got an e-mail from Roddy that I should check out his forums.  Well, I'd been there before and thought I wouldn't find anything new, but behold:  <a href="http://www.roddyflagg.34sp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=87">a thread on Squabble</a>, Chinese Scrabble.  You play characters by combining cards with the right radicals, and you can steal peple's characters by adding radicals to an already formed character.  At US$ 30, it's a little expensive (plus US$ 15 for shipping from Taiwan).  But if you can get your school to order it, more power to you.  Maybe I can get a grant from the <a href="http://www.umich.edu/~iinet/ccs/" title="Center for Chinese Studies">Center</a>.

Also, it's worth browsing <a href="http://www.roddyflagg.34sp.com/">Roddy's main site</a>, which is chock full of practical information and anecdotes about living in China.
