…of time spent. I’ve since reduced the time spent playing Magic. (I had to start using mouse with my left hand, because my right-hand index finger got sore from too much clicking. I blame Magic for that.) I’m mostly playing Standard constructed; I’m generally terrible in draft. Online Magic has been a significant gaming outlet…
…computers and so on. There’s plenty of room for customisation and the different species have some differences in their ship blueprints. Designing ships is easy and fun and — I hear — allows for rather inventive designs and very specialized ships. Combat Combat is fairly simple. Ships pin opposing ships in the same hex. After…
I made the German Boardgame Geek Test today. My score was 35.46%, which means I’m not hopelessly geek yet. I obviously have to improve my score. Also, I have a new toy, a digital camera. So, expect game pictures sooner or later! I’ve set up a photo gallery script at my web site, so you’ll…
…in this, I’ve only won this one once. Suggest. Bezzerwizzer Mini is a tiny little trivia game. The catch is that after you answer four questions, you must score your answers 1, 2, 3 and 4, and that’s how many points you’ll get if you’re correct. If you’re the only one to answer correctly, you’ll…
…or two, or even move it forward. Lucky or skillful? Almost completely lucky. It’s really up to how well you roll the die and how merciful the cockroach is for you. There are some safe spaces where the cockroach can’t touch the bugs, but there’s little strategy in using them. Abstract or thematic? The Hexbug…
…Jahres. It’s family-friendly, easy and accessible; it plays fast, looks neat and simply works quite well. In the other hand, it might feel a bit too safe and familiar, especially if you’re an experienced gamer. Streets of London Players try to place their stalls on the streets. Each spot on the streets is worth 1-3…
So, I spent the weekend at the Munter mansion in Lahti, playing games. It was an excellent weekend of games, one of the best I’ve participated in. Not the best, though — I think game events get better the less people there are. The participants were pretty carefully selected, but not enough. The ideal for…
…One could criticize the game for being a bit luck-heavy, especially in the end game. But it’s a chaotic game and you shouldn’t play it if you don’t like a little bit of chaos. We saw some nice manoeuvres when the cards combined well, that was fun. I think Ville won, but it certainly was…
Another shameless plug aimed for the Finnish readers: If you haven’t done so already, join Pelilista, which is basically the Finnish version of the almighty Spielfrieks, which is the best and most useful mailing list I’m on. Pelilista isn’t nearly as good or useful, but hey, there’s about 1000 Spielfrieks and about 30 Pelilista members……
I have done the Finnish translation of this game, and got a free copy from the Finnish publisher. The game: Co-Mix by Lorenzo Silva, published by Horrible Games in 2014. Elevator pitch: Story-telling game, where you create your story by laying picture cards on a six- or nine-panel comic page. Stories are then told and…
