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…

Sunda to Sahul pictures
I took some pictures of Sunda to Sahul, they are available at my photo site. If you haven’t seen the game, go take a look because it’s pretty! No doubt it’s the best self-published game I’ve ever seen. Though, I noticed the scoring board had warped quite badly in a short time. That’s a minor…

Go

My own Boardgamegeek
Recently I’ve been working on a dear project of mine: boardgame club stats service. It’s in Finnish, unfortunately. Still, go see it and try clicking the link “Lista peleistä, for example to see how it works. That’s the list of games. “Lista pelaajista” is a list of players. It began with the very basics: a…

Sudden moment of embarrassing truth
It seems I’ve always played Space Beans wrong. I am quite sure we’ve always given the cards to the player on one’s left, ie. the next player. However, the cards should be given to the previous player, the one on your right. Oops.
