More games at BSW
I played few more games at the Brettspielwelt. First, I played two games of Web of Power — my first games this year! I lost first one (badly), then managed to win the other. I also tried Medina. The way they’ve done it is much better than most of the games there, the user interface…

Go
Well — I played some Go on Kiseido, but not enough to get me a stable rating. I think I’m missing a win… Today’s scores were a resign victory against a weaker player who quit when I killed a largish group from him. Then I played a faster game against a stronger player and, as…

Brettspielwelt games
I just played some games in the Brettspielwelt. I’ve been looking for a game of Ra there for a while now and today it happened, I played a 3-player game. Unfortunately the user interface is on the worse end of the BSW scale. Important information (like the amount of Ra tiles drawn) is hidden on…

Sunda to Sahul arrived
I picked up the Sunda to Sahul from the post office the first thing today. I just opened the box and I must say I’m impressed! Neat little box (about the size of A4, perhaps 5 cm high) and talk about nice bits! Game consists mostly of about 100 or so jigsaw pieces, and they…

Board game club meeting
Board game club met last Sunday and I got to play many interesting games, including few new games I hadn’t experienced before. My number one priority was testing Goldland which I have wanted to try for the last two times — I’ve always run out of time. This time that would happen, I thought, and…

Game club meeting
I had a nice afternoon of games yesterday with the board game club. A detailed session report is coming later. I played Goldland (finally) and Mississippi Queen for the first time and replayed some favourites… I also seem to have forgotten to send in the top 10 list for February. Well, we’ll just skip February…
