…game I wanted. I started with two rounds of Sticheln, first time with the real cards and real people! It was fun, even though I didn’t win. It’s obviously a game people don’t get that easily, especially as one of the players wasn’t that familiar with card games and didn’t know such concepts as trick…
…probably come up with easier rules for the kids. 24 The Great Zimbabwe — This is one of the finer Splotter titles: clever, not too complicated, challenging enough. Too bad this fell pretty flat on my group, because I’d like to explore this further. The rules have a really nice Leonard Cohen reference. 23–21 Antiquity…
The guys at the Marektoy were kind enough to send me a copy of the Finnish edition of Around the World in 80 Days along with the games I’ve translated. It wasn’t on my list of games to get, but sure I’ll like to have it if I get it for free… I tried it…
Today I printed out some new piecepack games and tried two of them. They were the recommended solitaire games. Tula is like a traditional card solitaire ported to piecepack. I found it so and so. I played four games and completed it once. Once I got only one tile after the first free tile. I…
Last week we played Container and Fresh Fish. Container is one of those games that divide opinions, but we’ve got some fans of the game. I like it, the free-wheeling process of manufacturing, buying, selling and shipping just works. I like the way the economy depends on the players: if players waste money, the economy…
…Hannu missed one of my druids, slapped his 4 on top of the pile and left, leaving me free to add two more stones to get my 4 on top of the pile. That seals the deal, as you just can’t win against competitive players (like me) if you waste your big one. Die Dolmengötter…
…map is that it’s small. It’s half the size of common boards, and quite constrained in other ways too: for example, there are no purple cities on the board. You can urbanize one, but that’s it. There are also lots of mountains, which make cheap routes rare (and rivers spoil the rest of them). Rules…
I got a review copy of Spass – Score Cards with Lots of Cowbell. Despite the odd name, it’s actually a fairly basic tool, a score-keeping app for iOS. Now that’s an useful app. I’ve been using Basic Score Keeper – Free, which is pretty good, but I have to admit Spass looks better and,…
Ah, Neuland! The land of strange, yet soothing line art and wide open spaces ready to be filled with pointy little buildings, free for all to use! How have I longed to wander through your fields, moving resources around! So, I met Olli H. for some games, and got him to play Neuland. He had…
You can find ilmaisia porno kuvia (free porn pictures, that is) that way. Or not, actually it’s just an experiment among the Finnish weblogs — how well will that blog rank for “ilmaisia porno kuvia” on Google after a month. To keep this even marginally game-related: I played Mare Nostrum today. I’ll explain it all…
