  • Die Macher

    I wrote a review of Die Macher. In Finnish, as usual… Die Macher has rather fitting Geek id: 1. It’s in a way the best board game there is. The theme is interesting (much more than the typical fantasy dragons or renaissance Italy), the mechanics are brilliant and the game is super exciting. The length…

  • Viva il Re!

    I wrote a review of Viva il Re! — in Finnish as usual. I’ve also reworked the front page of my Finnish game site, hope you enjoy the new look, if you’re a reader. I initially rated Viva il Re! as 9 at the Geek, but my rating has since come down to eight. That’s…

  • San Juan

    I wrote a review of San Juan — in Finnish, as usual. San Juan is a brilliant game, which I like a lot (as you might have guessed already). It takes Puerto Rico and creates a fast-moving and entertaining card game out of it. Enough mechanics are retained so that the game feels the same,…

  • Nodwick: The Card Game

    A review of Nodwick: The Card Game is available. It’s in Finnish. I’ve written a preview of the game earlier, if you want to know more about the game but can’t understand Finnish. I like the game, but I do acknowledge it’s very dependant on the players. With some crowds, it just drags on pointlessly.…

  • Hammer of the Scots

    I wrote a review of Hammer of the Scots in Finnish. I think Hammer of the Scots is a first-class game. It’s pretty straightforward to learn, easy to play, doesn’t take too long and the theme is interesting. If you don’t like cardboard chits (I generally don’t), worry not, because the Columbia blocks are very…

  • Mexica

    I wrote a review of Mexica (in Finnish). I also created a Finnish piecepack page, which gives some basic information about piecepack, lists the games I’ve tried and has some links. Mexica is part of the mask-trilogy (other games in the trilogy are Tikal and Java) and a rather good part, too. Actually, I think…

  • Finstere Flure

    I wrote a a review of Finstere Flure. Finstere Flure is a very good game. The escape from the monster-infested dungeon of Fürst Fieso is simple, but exciting fun for two to seven players — and what’s best, the game really works with the whole range! The best number of players is, however, four to…

  • Anathema

    I wrote a review of Anathema. It’s in Finnish as usual. Anathema is interesting game for me, mostly because of it’s art. Drew Tucker is one of my favourite artists and Anathema offers a deck full of his art! What a catch! The game is actually less interesting. It’s a very slightly changed version of…

  • Flaschenteufel

    I wrote a review of Flaschenteufel. It’s in Finnish, as usual. To sum it up: I gave Flaschenteufel five stars out of five. I think it’s one of the very best card games around. It’s good for gamers and non-gamers — both groups will probably enjoy the strong and exciting theme. Gamers will appreciate the…

  • Attika

    I wrote a review of Attika in Finnish.
