  • Weekend games: Sunda to Sahul, Sticheln, Bakari

    I had a nice weekend, when it comes to games. First game I played Friday was an old favourite, Battle Line. It’s always a blast, and I actually managed to win half of the six games I played during the weekend. But that wasn’t the main attraction. I desperately wanted to play Sunda to Sahul.…

  • Bingo!

    Yes, I’ve grown old. Very old. I went to play Bingo last Saturday. My mother has started to play Bingo occasionally and she lured me with her and her partner, as we had an hour to waste before he had to leave for a trip. And guess what: it was actually fun! Of course, Bingo…

  • Café Games: Sunda to Sahul, Sticheln

    I’ve been quite anxious to play Sunda to Sahul lately and finally, after one canceled attempt last week, I was able. After finishing the morning session of Der Wahnvorstellung, I met Ville and Laura at the Klubi, which has became the standard location for these spontaneous game meetings. So, we started with Sunda. Ville came…

  • Go problems

    I did some Go problem time trials at Go Problems. I got to the 10k time trial, which I couldn’t finish before Johanna came home. But it’s good practise, to repeat the same problems again and again. I think that I’m a better Go player in theory than in practise…

  • Go

    I played a fairly interesting game of Go at Kiseido. My opponent was ranked one kyu lower than me, but I started the game pretty badly. However, at one point he didn’t kill a large group of my stones (which he could’ve done and at which point I would’ve resigned) and I was able to…

  • Board game club meeting

    Board game club had a meeting Yesterday. There were plans to play Die Macher, since it was the election day and all that, but it was cancelled because I couldn’t find the rule book… Well, I suppose most people had a good afternoon and evening of enjoyment nevertheless. I got to play just about every…

  • 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…
