  • Hot games for Q1/2006

    Here’s a list of hottest games for first quarter of 2006 for me. This is based on number of plays, my enjoyment of the game and the novelty value, so new games tend to show up higher on the list. Einfach Genial — I played quite a lot of this in BSW, where it’s a…

  • Two-player session with Confrontations, Fjords and a Blue Moon

    I met Ilari yesterday for some games. The main attraction was the brand new Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation Deluxe. Ilari, a big fan of the original game, was eager to try the new characters. We played two double matches. In first we used variant characters but no special cards, in second we took…

It’s a simple game, played with a bunch of rectangular plastic pieces. Players build a tower. Each turn they draw a…

  • Entering Blue Moon

    I got my first taste of Blue Moon yesterday. I got my set, and just had to give it a go. I’ve been somewhat interested in the game for a while now, and when I saw it sold at the Board Game Society forum, I bought it right away. The set included also few expansions…
