…time cutting the puzzles apart (they’re printed two per page), this one needs some testing. I printed mine on 100 gram colour inkjet paper, which is far from cardboard, but hopefully it doesn’t matter too much in this game. In his blog (which I hadn’t noticed before) Ted has some creation notes for the expansion….
Michael Debije listed his favourite games, one per BGG page, on BGG: A Curmudgeon chooses one game per page… going deep. A friend made his own list on a forum, prompting me to make mine. It’s simple: browse the BGG ranking list and pick one game from each page. Here’s my list: 1-100: A Feast…
The biggest new thing in August was that I started videoblogging. I decided that’s something I should know how to do, so I tried it. It turned out to be fun, so I’ll be doing it for now – I thought maybe I’ll do 100 videos and then take a look at the situation. I’ll…
…the company worth something. It was a lesson learned, let’s just say, and next time I won’t be as silly. I only had NYC, you see, so I had to fight to have a chance. Make had a different strategy: in the end he had one share from each company. Petri had mostly C&O, and…
I was pining for a copy of Pampas Railroads before. Not any more! There’s talk of a reprint! It’s P100 project, that is, if JC Lawrence can get 100 pre-orders, a reprint will be done. P100 for Pampas Railroads is where you sign up. The orders are at 40 or so at the moment, so…
…and I owned 100% of IWNJ and NGStL, both of which were running for £340. Ed’s companies had 6+3, 6+3 and 7+4 trains, which meant they were eliminated first in the nationalization process. In the end, I won £11,301 vs £7,761. The game was generally very pleasant, very little token wars or anything… Well, BHI&R…
I’m working on the gaming year 2010 report (it’s a long one, this year, so don’t expect it any time soon), which brings me to 2011. I’ve got a goal set up for 2011: I’m finally going to get that Golden Image Uploader badge at BoardGameGeek. Getting the badge requires 100 pictures, each with at…
…Unit 3 covers Scotland and Northern England, from Maryport in South to Aberdeen in North (a regional kit covering the Highlands was planned, but hasn’t been published yet — I wonder if it’s ever coming). Glasgow stands in the middle and is a central point, as all three major railroads (Caledonian, Northern British and Glasgow…
…laughing with tears in my eyes. The final event, the compiling of the official Ropecon top 100 games list, was just golden comedy. I also managed to collect the autographs for my Monikers “Shut Up & Sit Down” card. Now my board game autograph collection has SU&SD and Reiner Knizia! Me and Quinns from SU&SD….
…(5/new) Power Grid (5/new) Finstere Flure (5/4) Flaschenteufel (5/2) Lord of the Rings: Confrontation (5/13) Puerto Rico (5/12) Many new games, but that’s my nature. Lots of big losers, like Lost Cities (30->3), Coloretto (25->2), Sunda to Sahul (17->0), Battle Line (18->2), King Lui (15->0), Mamma Mia! (11->0), Sticheln (13->4), PitchCar (9->0) and so on….
