Battle Line

Weekend games, Friday: Puerto Rico

August 11, 2003

My trip to Jyväskylä went well. My brother picked me up from the busy railroad station and gave me a lift to where my mother and Ismo live. Before he left, we played few games of Battle Line. Which was nice, especially as I won two out of three. Balloon Cup was fairly popular game [...]

Sticheln

August 6, 2003

Finnish users can go ahead and read the Finnish review. I’ve played enough Sticheln that I feel I can write a review. However, my point-of-view is very biased: I’ve only ever played the three-player game. Well, one four-player game, but that’s not enough. Still, I think Sticheln is such a superior three-player game that reviewing [...]

Balloon Cup

July 15, 2003

I managed to try the Balloon Cup for the first time yesterday. The rules were easy to figure out and teach. The game reminds me a lot of Battle Line — players play cards on flags or hops to claim them. The differences are that in Battle Line, claiming the flags is enough — in [...]

King Lui, Sunda to Sahul

July 14, 2003

I’ve written reviews of King Lui and Sunda to Sahul in Finnish. I also redesigned the games front page. But that’s all in Finnish. You English-reading users can read reviews of King Lui and Sunda to Sahul I wrote for BoardGameGeek. I also wrote a review of Battle Line, mostly because I wanted to reach [...]

Wednesday Games part 5: Amun-Re, East-West

July 9, 2003

It’s already the fifth session of our Wednesday games (would be six, except I missed the previous meeting). This time we started with a game of The Last Panther from the Mü games. Well, we actually played just one hand, because then Olli joined us. We started on the main treat, then. It was, of [...]

Wednesday games: Age of Steam

June 26, 2003

Yesterday we had another pleasant session of Wednesday games. I made a slight change this time: instead of just card games, I took Age of Steam with me. I was too anxious to play it, after reading just about everything about it I could find Tuesday. But before anybody else arrived, I played a game [...]

Weekend games: Sunda to Sahul, Sticheln, Bakari

April 9, 2003

I had a nice weekend, when it comes to games. First game I played Friday was an old favourite, Battle Line. It’s always a blast, and I actually managed to win half of the six games I played during the weekend. But that wasn’t the main attraction. I desperately wanted to play Sunda to Sahul. [...]

Rest of the gaming weekend

February 28, 2003

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 [...]

Weekend gaming

September 16, 2002

This weekend I visited my parents and played games with them. I also tested my new game recording system: I bought a small notebook which I dedicated to making notes on my games. Before I’ve made notes in my calendar, this way they are a bit more permanent and I can have more room to [...]
