  • Wednesday Games, part 7: Mü, Tichu

    Another pleasant session of Wednesday games! I started with a game of Balloon Cup with Erkka, who was first to arrive. He also won that game… While we were at it, Olli and Vesa arrived. They played a game of East-West while waiting for us to finish. Olli had to leave for a while, but…

  • Wednesday games, part 6: Time Control, Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation

    This time we had a much smaller attendance. I arrived at 11.30 am and met Erkka, who had also just arrived. Fortunately I had planned to play two-player games! We started with Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation. We played two games, and both of us won one game. We both won with the good…

  • Go

    It’s been a while since I played Go at the Kiseido Go Server. Well, I did today. For some reason my rating has crept up while I haven’t played, so I found out I was rated as a 17 kyu player. Which is kind of funny, as I’m 28 kyu at Dragon Go Server and…

  • Balloon Cup

    I managed to try the Balloon Cup for the first time yesterday. The rules were easy to figure out and teach. The game reminds me a lot of Battle Line — players play cards on flags or hops to claim them. The differences are that in Battle Line, claiming the flags is enough — in…

  • Age of Steam

    Ilari organized a board game club meeting yesterday and I dropped by to play a game of Age of Steam. Ilari, Aaro, Robert and Tuukka joined me. Ilari had played one game with few weeks ago, the rest were newbies. This time the game was very different from the previous game. Last time I won…

  • Mythos

    I played a game of Mythos. It’s one of my favourite multi-player collectible card games. Olli had bought some cards and we played a game so I could teach him the rules to the game. We used two of my decks, as he had no decks of his own built yet. My Mad German Inventor…

  • Wednesday Games part 5: Amun-Re, East-West

    It’s already the fifth session of our Wednesday games (would be six, except I missed the previous meeting). This time we started with a game of The Last Panther from the Mü games. Well, we actually played just one hand, because then Olli joined us. We started on the main treat, then. It was, of…

  • Wednesday games: Age of Steam

    Yesterday we had another pleasant session of Wednesday games. I made a slight change this time: instead of just card games, I took Age of Steam with me. I was too anxious to play it, after reading just about everything about it I could find Tuesday. But before anybody else arrived, I played a game…

  • Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective

    I played Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective yesterday and had great fun with it. The case wasn’t obvious — after an hour of reading clues I still had no decisive ideas who did the case. Re-reading some of the first entries finally produced the small detail I had missed which solved the case. Ok, now let’s…

  • Wednesday Games III: The Last Panther

    It was a bit quiet day today, as we only had three players. Well, we still played many delightful games. I was eager to try even some of the Mü & mehr games. So, we tried The Last Panther, which turned out to be a nice little trick-taking game. It is also rather nasty game,…
