…of Elasund I was after, so I went for that. So, whoever it is that wins the game at Helcon, thank Saku, Andreas and Scott for getting the English copy instead of a German. I later had the game signed by Klaus Teuber, who had a signing session. Interesting enough, Reiner Knizia was there too….
To all the people anxious to help me to get rid of my extra copy of Jenseits von Theben, stay calm! I won’t do anything about it before next week when I get back home. Then I’ll probably see if there’s any interest in Finland, because that will be the easiest thing for me (Helcon-goers…
…2007, I played it in the Helcon convention and were suitably impressed. I was originally going to wait for the English edition, but then I just had to purchase the German edition. That’s still what I have, but of course after that I’ve got the animeeples and vegimeeples. I’m slightly odd in the sense that…
…much for it in an auction, my initial bid remained unchallenged, but at least the money went to a nice guy (who let me crash at his home during Helcon), so I don’t mind. My geekbuddies either like the game somewhat or think it’s a bit of disappointment, so we’ll see, but it looks pretty…
…this one from the auction I ran before Helcon. Had to pay 30 euros to get it, but it does cost 39 euros as new and I’ve heard the copies suffer a bit from being poorly printed and somewhat damp. Here I knew I was getting a decent copy, and I do find very little…
For some reason I hadn’t played Set before. After all, as a pattern recognition game it’s right up my alley. I had tried it in some Helcon or other, but there was a mess and nobody knew how to play and it just fizzled. Now I had better luck, as Olli introduced us to the…
…off and the game was slightly too short, maybe. It also turned out the game needs a timer, as it takes some heavy thinking to form the words out of random jumble of letters. However, it certainly looks promising. I’ll make the fixes before Helcon and try it out there. We had a large group…
…I started Pelilista almost a year ago and it’s still a bit quiet. There aren’t simply enough proactive, posting members to keep up constant conversation. So, if you read and write Finnish and like games (excluding video games), subscribe and participate! I think I’m going to make some flyers to distribute in HelCon, to promote…
…not super enthusiastic yet (some have flashed the Spiel des Jahres possibility already!), but I’m quite sure I’m buying Attika at some point. I’ll try to get some more plays at BSW and I’ll also be able to test the real game at HelCon as my Essen-visiting friends have both bought the game, I hear….
…game and I think I grasped some tactics as well. At least I was able to share the victory with Ville. We had 80 points, Robert got 61 and Atro 50, so we were doing something right there… And that’s it. Next big game event is next weekend, HelCon II which should be a blast!…
