Gaming Year 2011

January 1, 2012

2010 was a good year. Well, 2011 was even better. I played more games than on any year on my records. Quality matters, too, but I can control quality more than I can control quantity and if quantity is good, quality tends to be good as well. I played lots of games with my son. [...]

Games at Jyväskylä — expanded Dawn Under

November 6, 2005

We were visiting my parents in Jyväskylä this weekend (my grandfather’s 85th birthday party was Saturday). We did play some games, as well. Ismo and Raija joined me for a game of Dawn Under. I sold them my English copy, now I have the Finnish edition. I wanted to try my brand new Frische Luft [...]

Thursday, day two: Shopping for games

October 14, 2005

The morning started off quite well. We were having breakfast, when I suddenly noticed a familiar-looking gentleman in a salmon-coloured shirt: herr Knizia! I wasn’t quite brave enough to go talk to him, but maybe I’ll ask for his signature tomorrow, as I now have a game to ask it to. It would be neat [...]

May 9, 2005

I visited Jyväskylä last weekend and played quite a few games. I had just few games with me, so the games were repeated more than usually. That’s different and to be honest, I quite enjoyed it. Lost Cities: I brought a brand-new Finnish copy of the game as a mother’s day gift and ended up [...]

The thick, double-layered board has sixty graves covered with headstones made of thick cardboard. Each headstone has one of six colours in it’s bottom. Players must find [...]

Jyväskylä game weekend

January 24, 2005

Last weekend in Jyväskylä was good gaming time. As usual, I brought a bunch on games we played a lot. It’s refreshingly different, playing the same games over and over again instead of playing a variety of games just once or twice. I won’t bother with detailed session reports, but here’s a rundown of the [...]

First game of the year: Dawn Under

January 20, 2005

I broke my trend of starting the year with an Asian game and played Dawn Under with Johanna. I got some childish games recently, you know, with Niagara completing the set (I also got CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Boardgame, but that’s another story). Dawn Under is a childish memory game about vampires trying to seek [...]
