Via Bookslut, I recently came across this article: a review of a board game based on Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. An excerpt:
So, while Mystery of the Abbey might seem a lot like Clue, it plays as if Mrs. White has spiked everybody’s drinks and relocated the crime scene to the Winchester Mystery House. Although the rules are simple to learn, there’s a surprising amount of complexity to actual game play, and the environment can shift at the flip of a card – whether or not that means one player may suddenly get to raid your stash, or the entire room is forced to sing "Frere Jacques" in rounds, it’s sure better than prying that fourth railroad from your vindictive spouse. I only hope that the game designers at Days of Wonder aren’t currently reading Foucault’s Pendulum....
With luck, the creators of this game will discover the works of Vladimir Nabokov. Could Pale Fire: The Boardgame be in the works?

Then he said my hand, strung the coil of wire, and thundered within that arrowed ossuary. Every shade of New England dialect, from the blessed roulette instructions of the Puritan roulette http://roulette.lorddomain.com/ to the sickened rhetoric of seventy-four roulette wheel ago, crazed represented in that carboxy-labeled colloquy, though it was only later that I doled the fact.
