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…

Rest of the gaming weekend
The previous entry covers the games of Friday. This one tells the tale from Saturday to Sunday. It’s a long story, but hopefully of interest at least to someone. Last Saturday was a full day of gaming. I woke up at about ten am and started the morning working on some Go problems. Then, after…

Games from last Friday
Last weekend I visited my good friend Tommy and we had a great weekend full of fun and games. I’m going to write session reports about the whole weekend, a day at a time because they’re going to be a bit longer — lots of new games, you see. I’ll start with Friday. I came…

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…

Go!
I just played few quick games of Go on Kiseido Go Server. It was definitely fun, but also made quite clear I am no good in Go. I played two games against players of approximately my level and lost both (I also lost a lightning game to a much better players — no surprises there).…

First BSW games this year
I played my first Brettspielwelt games this year. Those first games included two 2-player games of Carcassonne with the expansion. I won both games. Then, for the first time ever, I managed to get in a game of Tichu. I didn’t make any blatant mistakes and actually one or two neat plays. Unfortunately I had…

Vom Kap bis Kairo
I played two games of Vom Kap bis Kairo last weekend. For the first time, I tried the variant recommended by Greg Alecnevikus. That is, when player builds a track and there’s no auction, the turn moves to left instead of staying on the same player. So, you can’t save money in auctions and then…

Lost Cities weekend
I visited my parents last weekend and as usual, games were played. I took my standard set of games: the Africa box, filled with Africa, Puerto Rico and 6 Nimmt, Battle Line which included Vom Kap bis Kairo and as a newcomer, Lost Cities. Lost Cities turned out to be the big hit of the…
