Elder Signs of Kansas Pacific

January 27, 2012

Two weeks of games. Last week I expected two players, but we got third. Good that I hadn’t prepared with strictly two-player affairs. Dominion: Hinterlands. I’m a Dominion fan, so I like the new expansion. Simple as that. It sure is no Alchemy. There are several interesting cards. Fool’s Gold (money; first played on turn [...]

Puzzle Strike and gambling starlords

January 19, 2012

Puzzle Strike. Three more games. These were the best games so far. I played well, I think, winning two out of three. The games were well-fought and exciting. A tad long at 30 minutes or so each, but they didn’t drag on. I suppose there’s a good game in there. Going to play more today. Suggest. [...]

Weekend in Jyväskylä

August 10, 2011

Last weekend in Jyväskylä was unusually active with board games. I had couple of games with me and managed to play several games of Puzzle Strike and some Stone Age, too. Stone Age was a bit of a hit, my mother in particular enjoyed it (like I guessed she would). And why not, it’s a [...]

Leaders of Cornucopia

June 12, 2011

Last Wednesday saw the first tests of two hot new expansions, Dominion: Cornucopia and 7 Wonders: Leaders. We played two games of Dominion, both with lots of Cornucopia cards. These seem fine to me. Tournament is apparently one of the strongest cards in the set and one of the strongest cards in the whole game, [...]

Last weekend: 7 Wonders, Dominion, Agricola

March 29, 2011

Last weekend was another visit to Jyväskylä. I had bought them a copy of Dominion: Prosperity before — since most of my Dominion plays happen in Jyväskylä, I want to have those cards available. I didn’t take anything new with me, since there’s a decent collection of games available already. Here’s what we played: Dominion [...]

Weekend games, photo edition

January 25, 2011

Here are some game photos from last weekend (session report here). Most of the photos are from Flickr, as not all can be uploaded to Geek. That’s a dilemma, there – take photos of popular games, well, Geek’s full of them already. Take photos of unpopular games, and nobody’s looking at them. In any case [...]

Gaming Year 2010

January 1, 2011

Gaming year 2009 wasn’t terrific, but 2010 was. By numbers alone, I played a lot more games than last year. However, the biggest reason 2010 will go down in history as a good board game year was Nooa. I played well over hundred games with Nooa — actually, I played with Nooa about as much [...]

Dominion Online

December 6, 2010

Dominion Online at Isotropic.org is a rather cool way to play Dominion online. It’s very elegant, all monospaced text, and works like a charm. It has all cards, every card from every set and promos too. The user interface is mostly intuitive, and certainly better than what Brettspielwelt has to offer. I used it to [...]

Dominion: Alchemy first impressions

July 12, 2010

I played few games of Dominion: Alchemy with my brother today, using couple of the suggested sets. I’m in the camp where more cards means more diversity means more fun, and from that point of view Alchemy is pretty cool. The set has several interesting cards. The new economy with the Potions is fairly elegant. [...]

Dominion and a book

May 13, 2010

First, a question about Dominion. How’d you play this setup? Moat, Chapel, Cellar, Village, Thief, Feast, Moneylender, Laboratory, Witch and Adventurer. You can assume 4/3 starting hand. This is one of the setups for the Finnish Dominion Championships. I’m playing, but haven’t practised a bit, just a couple of games at BSW. I don’t like [...]
