Online Gang of Four
It’s been a while since my last online Gang of Four match. This time it looked like a short game, but after two fast deals, the losers got a grip and the game became a tad longer. I held the second place most of the time. I lost several rounds, but fortunately with only few…

Cafe games: Go
Our café games were quite typical yesterday. We did have six people present, though. I ended up playing Go against a new opponent, whose name escapes me now. I won both games, first by a healthy margin of around 100 points, second with smaller difference (but then again, there were more handicap stones). I didn’t…

Café sessions: Go, Gang of Four
Today was the first time our café group met on Monday and I’d say it was a success. Total of six people played games. Afternoon began with a 13×13 Go match, which I won. It was a close match, though. Meanwhile our number had grown to four, so we started a game of my prototype.…

Gang of Four, once again
I played a game of Gang of Four against three Swiss guys. I didn’t do too good — I came third this time. It was a pretty quick game with lots of quick rounds and lots of points. My browser crashed in the middle of it, but fortunately we were able to resume the game…

More Gang of Four
This time the Gang of Four cave had some people in it and I got a game going — not without two false starts, though. Once again there was a leader who collected barely four points during the game. As usual, I came in second, with a pretty high score of 71 points. I did…

Gang of Four
I played a game of Gang of Four online. I was quite satisfied with both the online system (I got a game fairly soon) and my performance. I didn’t win, but I was second. I even managed to win few hands! We had a good (or lucky) player in the table, who only got five…

First games of 2004!
2004 started with a small meeting with Juho and Olli, who are probably pretty high on my regular opponents list. We met at restaurant Telakka, which is a nice place except it’s a bit too small. That wouldn’t be a problem, but when the place is that small, it’s hard to have enough distance to…

Gang of Four
I wrote a review of Gang of Four. It’s in Finnish, as usual. Gang of Four was published around ten years ago for the first time. Now Days of Wonder has published a new edition of the game. The game is designed by a designer Lee Yih from Hong Kong, but it has it’s roots…

Go and Gang of Three, part 2
Yet another session with Go and Gang of Four. This time I moved on 19×19 board with Juho. Where I used to play one game of 19×19 with Ilari in, say, 90 minutes, we played six games with Juho. And it still didn’t feel too fast; I had plenty of time to make up my…

Weekend games: Puerto Rico, Gang of Four
I was in Jyväskylä meeting my parents last weekend and games were played, as usual. The boys weren’t home this time, so I chose more adult games that would work with three. Well, youngest of the boys was around enough so a game of 6 Nimmt! got played. Another fairly typical game choice was Puerto…
