Interview and a review

April 14, 2008

Boardgaming Finland podcast interviewed me and reviewed my book in their latest episode.

Agricola review

November 14, 2007

Maik Hennebach’s The two player game and a look under the hood is an excellent review of Agricola. It describes the game well and is entertaining to read; all in all, it’s one of the very best board game reviews I’ve ever read.
