Maharaja thoughts
I played a quick test game of Maharaja today so I could explain the game more easily on Saturday, when we have a games meet. It was an interesting experience that presented some of the games interesting attributes. It’s an intriguing game, though I’m not quite sure if I like it or not. I’m afraid…

Maharaja and St. Petersburg
I got Maharaja and St. Petersburg yesterday. As anybody who’s followed Spielfrieks recently can tell, Maharaja rules have caused lots of discussion (Goa has been another hot topic, but since I don’t care about it, I just skip those).

New Games Journal is out
The Games Journal has been notable for it’s steady schedule. This month it was late for the first time in a long time. That’s a shame, but fortunately the delay wasn’t long. The issue is a thin one, too. There’s an interesting review of Coda, which piqued my interest. Here’s Coda at Geek. I think…
