I put a link to his new series of videos.  If you start with the one that I just linked, that's the first one since the changes, and the most recent video was uploaded today.  Good point though, his older videos are outdated.

I recommend checking out the Lets Play series here by Aavak.  He's good about explaining how the game works and being pretty entertaining too.  If watching him play intrigues you, then I'd recommend picking it up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br_hGLQk … jl&index=1

Snake, you mentioned having a fake-out trap where shorting out a circuit actually gets the robber killed.  I have a mechanic like that in my current house, so I created a basic version of it on castle draft (with a different layout to protect my home!)

Basically the robber enters the house and walks down to where the grills are, which are powered on by the cat stepping on the switch.  The camera will scroll down after the robber steps on the second grill, so they will be in trouble there.  Most people that come into my house always go on the safe looking path to start and see the power source, which looks like a fairly obvious trick.  However, when they walk back, because they scrolled the screen down to see the power, the cat will now step on the switch. Half of the players will immediately die when they step on a grill, because they don't think they have changed anything by walking down.  The other half will go back and short the circuit, then confidently step on the grills, only to be fried anyway.  The only thing that the open power source is powering is a door that will release a pit bull.  While this isn't the most effective trap in my house, it is certainly the most entertaining!
