Poker Dice
Tactic has new tin can games. These games are small travel games, and the set includes Poker dice, Yahtzee, Dominoes, Rummy and Bingo. The Rummy tiles look bizarre and Yahtzee is totally useless, but I went and bought the Poker dice set, mostly because of Dice Games Properly Explained and the way it mentions how…

Cthulhu rises again
Olli came by to trade Mythos cards. We also played a game, which I lost. Good for Olli, as it was his first attempt at deck building. I have to say my deck was easy on him — my Great War veteran tried to join the Black Pharaoh Brotherhood and then travel to R’Lyeh to…

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…
