Playing Cards FAQ
Love And Casino War pointed to a rather marvellous resource: Playing-Cards Index. The page contains lots of interesting trivia knowledge about playing cards. It’s highly recommended for anyone interested in playing cards.

Questionnaire
As you might have noticed, I did some changes around the blog. I adjusted the categories a bit and created a archive index. I’d like to ask you few questions, just to check the situation. Please be kind and answer me so I can make this blog even better. Are you a regular reader of…

BoardGameGeek RSS feeds
Iain’s blog entry about BoardGameGeek RSS feeds inspired me to subscribe to some of them (new articles, new reviews and new geeklists). They are certainly much better than they used to be.

BoardGameGeek supporter
BoardGameGeek is having another fundraiser. Last time I skipped it, but now I had a credit card and a PayPal account, so I made a donation. Also, because they now have better user identification system, they are able to give nifty “BGG Supporter” logos for people who donate at least $10. Neat. Because dollar is…

SpielByWeb Wallenstein
We started a game of Wallenstein at SpielByWeb. Iain said it’s good, I’ve been interested in the game and somebody suggested starting a game at Pelilista, so why not! So far the implementation looks well done. I haven’t really figured out the game, but it’s a practise round… If you’re interested to see how I’m…

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…

Selling games
I’ve sold some games of mine. Finnish readers might want to consult the list of games I’m selling or trading. It feels good, to get rid of useless games I no longer play. I’ve sold my German Settlers of Catan (I’m selling the English copy as well, hoping to replace them with Finnish version when…

More piecepack games
Today I printed out some new piecepack games and tried two of them. They were the recommended solitaire games. Tula is like a traditional card solitaire ported to piecepack. I found it so and so. I played four games and completed it once. Once I got only one tile after the first free tile. I…
