…ruled our game: he played an excellent game, scoring 51 points. Stefu went begging and ended up with just 11 points, while I had 24. Shameful, shameful… We wanted some 18xx on the schedule as well. Our game of choice was 1825 Unit 2, armed with the minor companies. Because of the added companies, we…
…stuff really improves the game. The new characters are great, and the new cards are interesting, too. However, I wish someone would create nice smaller versions of the new characters I could paste on the back side of the old, small Confrontation pieces. The new stands aren’t as good: they tip over easily and the…
…board game is as scary as Silent Hill, so there computer games snatch a small victory. I’ve also played Combat Mission 2: Barbarossa to Berlin. Now there’s a genre where computer games are far superior. I don’t mean war games — there are plenty of good war games like Hammer of the Scots. I mean…
…non-permanent and tried them. The non-permanent is perfect, it seems. It doesn’t wear off with light rubbing (so touching it is ok unless you sweat a lot), unless you add water and then it comes off easily. Which makes it a rather good solution. Pack of four pens in correct colours (the typical black, red,…
…the game easily. I didn’t do that good and was last. Canyon is an interesting game… the trick-taking bit of it is very plain and almost boring, but the score board game makes it better. However, there are better trick-taking games, especially from a gamer’s point of view. Next we played Crokinole , which proved…
…moves according to certain rules. It’s always moving towards the nearest piece it can see. With careful planning, you can lure the monster towards opponent’s pieces! It’s great fun and the bits are totally cool. However, I wasn’t completely thrilled. It’s not a must buy, but a game I’ll think about buying. Perfect solution would…
…It works, buying Potions isn’t such an ordeal and I’m pretty sure there are situations where you’d want to buy Potions even if the selection of kingdom cards has only one card that requires them, if it’s the right card. I don’t wonder if some don’t like the set, though. It’s fairly complicated and easily…
…auction and good scope for tactical play. Unfortunately my luck (and skills) weren’t any better this time. I ended up paying a lot — fortunately we weren’t playing for money. Hannu played an excellent game, as both me and Markus ended up in the red. The final scores were 199, -53 and -146. Once again…
…also tried Queen’s Necklace, where once again initial confusion changed into pleasant understanding during the game. I won, but probably wouldn’t have done it so easily, had my opponents understood the game perfectly in the beginning. In my opinion, the best game of the weekend was Kogge. I’ll write a separate article on that, but…
