Interview and a review
Boardgaming Finland podcast interviewed me and reviewed my book in their latest episode. Unfortunately the interview and review are in Finnish, but if you understand Finnish and want to hear someone else’s opinion of the book, Cane’s review is definitely worth listening (it helps he gives the book an excellent review).

Tom Vasel interview

During the last month or so, I’ve been interviewed twice for a magazine (Kotiliesi and ET-lehti — first is probably a bit like Ladies Home Journal and ET is not about extraterrestrials; it’s targeted mostly for older (say 50+) women) and yesterday I was contacted by someone from…

Rest of the gaming weekend
The previous entry covers the games of Friday. This one tells the tale from Saturday to Sunday. It’s a long story, but hopefully of interest at least to someone. Last Saturday was a full day of gaming. I woke up at about ten am and started the morning working on some Go problems. Then, after…

Interview request
I got e-mail from a radio journalist, who wants to interview me about board games. She had found my website and is quite interested about board games and why people don’t play them anymore. So, another opportunity for me to preach the gospel. It’s not the first time (second, to be accurate) I find myself…
