  • Math trade results

    Here’s my side of the recent Finnish math trade: I traded 2038 for Days of Steam Bamboleo for Roll through the Ages Epäillyt for Age of Steam: Disco Inferno / Soul Train Fauna for Santiago Fluch der Mumie for Blokus Hornet for Finca Steel Driver for Stephensons Rocket Some of these trades are better than…

  • Thursday games: Steel Driver

    An opportunity presented itself… We decided to put Nooa in temporary day care so Johanna could get a break and I could get some board game time. There’s a nice private day care center next to the university where we play, you can drop your kids there for an hour or few. That worked out…
