  • I got Media Mogul

    I finally got my copy of Media Mogul. The production standards are a step up from Kogge, but it still isn’t pretty. Quality is better, however — the cardboard chits are properly printed, not laser printer work glued on cardboard. I’ll try the game next Sunday in the board game club. I’ll let you know…

  • Solo Kogge + Piecepack

    Andreas Steding has published a solo variant for his excellent game Kogge. I haven’t tried it yet, I’ll let you know what I think about it if I do. I’ve also taken interest to Piecepack. If anyone wants to send me a set, I’d be more than happy… I’m currently poor as a beggar and…

While the components are shoddy (the route marker tiles are especially unpleasant), the game is wonderful…

  • 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.
