…mine: I did a good paradrop, all four units survived. I dropped them behind the village and captured it, but then kind of lost momentum. In the end I lost 4-2. On Sword Beach I did some good fighting, destroying a unit of tanks and captured the town of Riva Bella with my commandos, emptying…
…are impressive and picking the winners will be difficult. I’m rooting for St. Petersburg, of course, but I’m quite certain it won’t win. In the two-player category Memoir ’44 is certainly a strong contender. Anyway, the GeekList is probably the best place to comment the nominees, so head that way and say what you think….
Yesterday’s game session put quality over quantity. I spent two hours playing 1960 with Sami; this included the rules explanation (15 minutes of that, 1 hour 45 minutes of game). I took Nixon and campaigned against Sami’s JFK. I had told Sami that the endorsements were important and as a result, he beat me out…
I have an Excel spread-sheet where I record the games I play, noting the amount of players and the number of games I’ve won. I count month totals, happiness product and winning percentages. It’s an essential part of my game hobby, keeping track of it all. Lately I’ve been fiddling about with performance measures. Amount…
This blog is two years old now. It’s a fairly long time in the world of blogging, I think I read somewhere most blogs will fold in much shorter time. Hopefully Gameblog will continue for a long time. I wanted to compile some kind of list about the best entries I’ve written. I had some…
…that, covering most of the board with the exception of two peeking-holes. The worms are made of cardboard chits of different colours and lengths. There’s also a die. The components are fine: nothing spectacular, but everything is bright and colourful and functional. What do you do in the game? On your turn, roll a die,…
…you took to the player on your left. That’s, of course, either good or bad, depending on the tile. There are also worm tiles: you get one when you take a negative tile. They can be used to gain special abilities, like double turns or moving someone else’s pawn. From Verflixxt hoch2, we took hats…
Sunday began with a game of Mamma Mia! with the kids. They’ve become fans quickly, I guess I’ll just have to keep on taking the game with me from now on. I’d also throw a guess that it’s going to appear on the next Adam Spielt order, too… Land Unter, here are the kids. Kids,…
…might detest the rolling cylinder pieces, but the cubes sport exciting colors. Pink and purple looks pretty together, too bad the purple and brown blend together when it gets darker. The tiles are ok, thick enough and like the board, decorated with useful and meaningful icons. It’s very simple to explain how the buildings work…
Just look at this pretty little 7 Wonders box: Of course there’s no scale in the picture, but the artwork is cut from the 7 Wonders box insert (which was so weak and wonky I didn’t feel at all bad ruining it for good), so you can guess from that. The box is a Alea…
