…Allies: Realm of Wonder is reviewed here. Not a bad little card game filler for two players, but considering that I can name a dozen better card game fillers for two players, this is just not going to get any play time. Indifferent.

…process to focus on good old games, I started a fifty by fifty challenge, in which I attempt to play fifty games fifty times. Seven new titles made that list in 2017, compared to just one in 2016. https://www.instagram.com/p/BcaFIsLHjsl/?taken-by=mikkosaari Good new games (2016–2017) A Feast for Odin was a big one for me this year….
…categories, custom fields and all sorts of data basic WordPress search ignores. All in all, it’s a pretty amazing little search engine plugin. What’s best, it’s free and easy to use, yet it has lots of useful options to tune the search results to your liking if you’re so inclined. Just search for “Relevanssi” in…
…of rather pointless complaining about the components, and I’ve found that endlessly boring.) And why not, as this is an excellent game. The theme is fun, and the mechanisms are interesting. Ted Alspach has done a good job here, creating a game similar, but different enough from Suburbia. Lewis & Clark was a bit of…
…a hazard, hoping I’d like it. It did come with good recommendations and lots of elements to like: farming theme, Glory to Rome -style multi-use cards… all in all an intriguing game. Based on one two-player game, it sure seems good, now I need some multi-player games to verify that. Suggest. https://instagram.com/p/7IbrF_ocT3/?taken-by=mikkosaari Glass Road got…
…5★. Experienced Suburbia players will find it interesting, though, and I’m glad I have it – I’m just not going to use it all the time. (I also got the Suburbia: Con Tiles expansion, and that’s not going to see play; I didn’t like that at all).

…trivia (why are they playing the game, then, is a good question). The questions range from very easy to somewhat specific, but harder questions tend to be multiple choice questions. Overall I’d say – based on exactly two games – that the questions seem a bit too much on the easy side. There’s a fair…
…with my money and my experience. It was definitely interesting to see how the TV show was made. There’s a lot more stuff in the recording, more questions (most of the questions nobody takes are edited out of the aired show). Also the show seems very bare without the sounds and the music, most notably…
…nice free plays out of it, and in a long-winded match having the ability to scry every turn to sift out the lands is useful, but I rarely find myself hoping to draw In Search of Greatness, and more often I hope to draw a Blizzard Brawl to get rid of some nasty blocker. I’ll…
