Expansions: Finca and Agricola
Yesterday’s games were about expansions to familiar games. First up was a two-player game of Finca with the El Razul expansion. It’s a bunch of elements that make small changes in the game: Wildcard tile on windmill gives you any fruit you want. Makes things easier and the game a bit faster, perhaps. El Razul…

Bohnanza and Rattus
Yesterday we were supposed to play Cavum, which I’ve had for quite a while now, but that plan failed: there were five of us. The curse of a small game group… I don’t mind a smaller group, as it makes it more likely that you get to play the same games again with same people,…

More Rattus and Black Friday
So, after last week’s session, I bought Rattus and the Pied Piper expansion. This order and some other additions finally got me to 250 games owned, so now I have the silver collector geekbadge at Geek. Hooray! Now I can sell stuff again… Heh. A big auction coming up, later in the summer, so I’ll…

Black Friday
Last week was something else, now was the time to get Black Friday on the table. I decided — on a whim — to buy the game. It’s been on and off my shopping list, but I wanted something new (and the silver collector badge in Geek), so I got it. After the first game…

David V.H. Peters weekend
We were in Jyväskylä this weekend. A pleasant weekend, again, children love visiting my mom, always a success. Johanna was with us and we could sneak to go eat a nice meal (my new food love: churros) and watch a movie (Limitless was pretty good, and it was fun to watch a movie knowing nearly…
