  • Nodwick: The Card Game

    A review of Nodwick: The Card Game is available. It’s in Finnish. I’ve written a preview of the game earlier, if you want to know more about the game but can’t understand Finnish. I like the game, but I do acknowledge it’s very dependant on the players. With some crowds, it just drags on pointlessly.…

  • Hammer of the Scots

    I wrote a review of Hammer of the Scots in Finnish. I think Hammer of the Scots is a first-class game. It’s pretty straightforward to learn, easy to play, doesn’t take too long and the theme is interesting. If you don’t like cardboard chits (I generally don’t), worry not, because the Columbia blocks are very…

  • Mexica

    I wrote a review of Mexica (in Finnish). I also created a Finnish piecepack page, which gives some basic information about piecepack, lists the games I’ve tried and has some links. Mexica is part of the mask-trilogy (other games in the trilogy are Tikal and Java) and a rather good part, too. Actually, I think…

  • Finstere Flure

    I wrote a a review of Finstere Flure. Finstere Flure is a very good game. The escape from the monster-infested dungeon of Fürst Fieso is simple, but exciting fun for two to seven players — and what’s best, the game really works with the whole range! The best number of players is, however, four to…

  • Anathema

    I wrote a review of Anathema. It’s in Finnish as usual. Anathema is interesting game for me, mostly because of it’s art. Drew Tucker is one of my favourite artists and Anathema offers a deck full of his art! What a catch! The game is actually less interesting. It’s a very slightly changed version of…

  • Flaschenteufel

    I wrote a review of Flaschenteufel. It’s in Finnish, as usual. To sum it up: I gave Flaschenteufel five stars out of five. I think it’s one of the very best card games around. It’s good for gamers and non-gamers — both groups will probably enjoy the strong and exciting theme. Gamers will appreciate the…

  • Attika

    I wrote a review of Attika in Finnish.

  • Bohnanza

    I wrote a review of Bohnanza. You can read it on my Finnish site. I think Bohnanza is one of those games every gamer should know. It’s a classic. That said, it’s not of my real favourites, thus my modest review of three stars out of five. Still, I recommend it highly for people looking…

  • Canal Grande

    I wrote a review of Canal Grande. It’s in Finnish, as usual. For English review, see my older review at the Geek.

  • Gang of Four

    I wrote a review of Gang of Four. It’s in Finnish, as usual. Gang of Four was published around ten years ago for the first time. Now Days of Wonder has published a new edition of the game. The game is designed by a designer Lee Yih from Hong Kong, but it has it’s roots…
