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…

Got some games
I think I mentioned an Adam Spielt order two weeks ago… Well, I got the games yesterday: Sticheln and Bohnanza. So no Wizard for me! Reason for that is the simple fact that Wizard is easily played with the Sticheln deck as it only adds four Wizards and four Jesters to the standard deck —…

Bridge
While visiting the library, I studied other books than the Hanafuda already mentioned. Few of them were about Bridge, the king of the trick-taking games (and perhaps card games in general, as well). I have really no interest to play Bridge, as it seems to be a terribly deep and complex game. That’s fine, but…

Hanafuda
I bumped into a mention of Hanafuda, the Japanese flower cards in Pagat. I didn’t react until Yesterday, when I saw a book about it in a local library.
