  • New games

    My game collection has grown with two new games. I picked up Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation and Balloon Cup from the post office today. They were my reward for translating the Dragon Ball Z card game rules. I’m looking forward to trying Balloon Cup as soon as possible, it seems like a rather…

  • A small disappointment

    Unfortunately I got ill today, which means I’m not going to be able to participate on the Wednesday café games… It’s a pity, but I’ll just have to figure out something else to tell you about instead of that!

  • Plasticity

    Oh, something I forgot from the previous entry: plastic sleeves. I’m faced with the problem again. Do I want to keep the nice boxes or do I want to put the cards in plastic sleeves? It’s always rather annoying. It would be great to keep the games in their boxes, but then I’ll worry about…

I’m left with Kult 2nd edition rule book, which I’m selling as soon as possible (so if you’re interested in buying it for, say, 15 euros + postage, contact me). EDIT: It sold immediately,…

Or not, actually it’s just an experiment among the Finnish weblogs — how well will that blog rank for “ilmaisia porno kuvia” on Google after a month. To keep this even marginally game-related: I played Mare Nostrum today. I’ll explain it all…
