…20-30 free points from the windmill track, so it was certainly a case of experienced player beating the snot out of two newbies. Anyway, it was fun. I’m still not quite sure if Australia has staying power or not, but right now it’s a fun game for three (and probably four). Even though I’m generally…
A guy called Don Bone was looking for playtesters for his new game Sunda to Sahul on the Spielfrieks list. I got interested without even checking the web site — come on, he was offering me a free board game! Now I’ve actually studied the game a bit from the web site, browsed through the…
…a game of Hammer of the Scots. Luck of the draw awarded the English forces for me to command. It was an interesting game. The score shifted during the game, I think I was in the lead for most of the game. Reko certainly had his moments. Wallace roamed the land free (well, I was…
…from Tampere with Ari, as a free ride in a car with good company beats expensive train hands down. The approximately two hour journey went fairly quick discussing, well, games. And stuff. At Tommy’s place we met Laura, Tommy’s significant other who I hadn’t met before. She turned out to be a nice and friendly…
Today ends our large board game auction. We have couple of hundred games for sale. See the auction at Lautapeliopas. Feel free to participate, if you understand the instructions and can pick up your games at Helcon or from me. I made a huge inventory cleanup for the auction, I’m selling over 40 games. Lots…
I’ve been writing little game reviews recently. When I spend most of my time at the computer writing, that isn’t the most attractive way to spend my free time, right? However, now I just had to get these few games out of my system. Bug Bluff — This must be one of the pretties card…
…I understand playing with five-year-olds isn’t very high on most people’s wishlist when they come to the board game club, but it was still a bit of a disappointment. However, Nooa definitely wants to go again. By the way, if you need a scoring app for iOS, try Basic Score Keeper. It’s free and flexible….
Even though I don’t have any money to buy games, I keep getting them by other means. Looks like I’ll get a copy of Alan Moon’s Ticket to Ride to translate. That’ll be interesting, because I’m intrigued about the game. It’s the comments that say “this is what TransAmerica should’ve been” — I was badly…
…a bit faster: now our game took 100 minutes, which was perhaps a tad too much. Based on Geek comments, some people have taken up to three hours to play, which would be horrific, because there just isn’t that much content in the game. I kind of liked it and wouldn’t mind playing it again…
