…played this one before. Ilari was kind enough to teach me the game. It’s fun! First you build a spaceship under time pressure: you draw tiles with spaceship components and try to form them into a coherent ship that can do everything necessary. Then you test you how you do: the ships start flying and…
…resign, after I tricked Juho and got a large group from him. Other game was finished properly — I won with about 30 points. After that I made Juho and Ari test my design again. I’m still not satisfied. We finished the afternoon with Gang of Four. We played just one round with the three…
I’ve been wanting to write this for a long time now, but with three or so jobs and other commitments, I just haven’t had the energy or time. I’ll have a lot to say.. But here’s for now: Railroad Tycoon is officially really cool. I’m a fan. Both of Railroad Tycoon, the computer game (I…
Tommy and Stefu came over to spend a day playing games. Johanna was very kind to take Nooa to her parents so we could have our place for us. A chance to play longer, meatier games in such a great company is rare and something to cherish. We did start with some actual meat, though….
…game, so I suppose it’s allright. At least we went under the suggested length of 45 minutes. Next weekend we have Finncon, which is the biggest science fiction convention in Finland (and as far as I know, the biggest free con in whole Europe). I’m playing games there, of course… Finnish Board Game Society was…

…succeed, they socre the money. Repeat three times, most money wins in the end. I believe in free speech and of course it’s possible to make a game on prostitution. That’s fine. I don’t even want to ban this game (but if I had a game store, I wouldn’t carry it). All I’m saying is…
…day and finally, I will go to Helsinki to participate in the Guillotine tv-show in Monday. So lots of games coming in a very short period of time! Also, I’ve discovered (thanks to my Go mentor Chris) the beauty that is Dragon Go Server. My id there is msaari, as usual, feel free to challenge…
…I could’ve bought it, but Hannu had a turn before me, so Hannu would’ve diluted the company immediately, so I couldn’t afford to bid too much. Hannu got it and made a nice profit. Of course, Sami had only played once before and that’s advanced strategy. We had time for something short, so we played…
Looking back at 2012, ten years later, it seems like a decent year. It wasn’t hard to come up with a top ten. My top 10: 10. Keyflower. This is an exciting mix of weird auctions and worker placement, and the game works rather well with the whole range from two to six players. That…
