Back from Helcon!

November 4, 2007

Another Helcon is gone (well, they’re still playing, but I’m already back home) and boy, it was a good one! We started games on the train to Helsinki. Robert managed to get himself to the wrong train (for some reason there were to trains to Helsinki within three minutes), but I had Olli and Sami [...]

Small game session: Mexica, Bunte Runde

June 2, 2006

I met the guys at the University cafe for a small session yesterday. Interesting enough, the entry exams for information studies were at the same time as our games! I was there too, six years ago, and now I’m just about graduated. I’m glad I’m done with that, really. We started with For Sale, which [...]

Games Saturday with Tommy, Stefu and Robert

December 20, 2005

Saturday was the big games day of the weekend, when Tommy and Stefu came all the way from Vantaa/Espoo and were joined by Robert of the local gamers. We started around noon and played almost 12 hours straight. It was pleasant, efficient and very entertaining. Here’s what we played: Flix Mix. I played this with [...]

Friday, day three: Games, games, games

October 15, 2005

Here’s what happened yesterday: Today was the day! I went downstairs to use the hotel laptop to send my reports, which I did, and then headed back to the room. I glanced towards the dining room, and who did I see? Reiner Knizia, of course, and he was just leaving. As he wasn’t eating, I [...]

Weekend of Industrial Waste (with some Dvonn)

October 3, 2005

I was visiting Jyväskylä last weekend. In addition to some surprisingly pleasing physical work (painting boards and a wall, building scaffolding), we played lots of games. During the years, I’ve introduced several games with variable success. Some have been huge hits (Puerto Rico and St. Petersburg are the most notable examples). Sometimes there have been [...]

Industrial Waste vs Power Grid

July 3, 2005

I was asked a question by Jacob in the comments of an earlier post: Hey, could I trouble you for your opinion of Industrial Waste vs Powergrid? I’ve played neither and I’m intrigued by both. Powergrid is ranked really high on BGG and when I read reviews, I keep feeling that the same negatives (i.e. [...]

Bug Bluff, Doom, Industrial Waste

July 1, 2005

I’ve been writing little game reviews recently. When I spend most of my time at the computer writing, that isn’t the most attractive way to spend my free time, right? However, now I just had to get these few games out of my system. Bug Bluff — This must be one of the pretties card [...]

Afternoon games: Cluedo, Cosmic Eidex, Amazonas

June 30, 2005

I met the Ollis for the last time for now — I’m moving in the end of July and just don’t have enough time for games right now. Too bad, but that’s life. Anyway, we started our games with Cluedo Card Game. It’s a simple deduction game and quite clearly too simple for gamers. As [...]

Midsummer games: Industrial Waste, Cosmic Eidex, Lost Valley

June 24, 2005

I met the Ollis Thursday for some games. It was a fairly monotonous event, with only two different games played. It’s not a big deal, since the games were excellent. I’m really growing fond of Industrial Waste. We played three games, once with just Olli M. and me, twice with three players. It’s fast, too [...]

Industrial Waste musings

June 16, 2005

I must say I’m quite enamored by Industrial Waste. It was a good acquisition, as it is certainly a game for my liking. Thanks Tommy! What’s better, my opinion of the game has improved with every game. Yesterday’s game certainly opened my eyes regarding the loans. I wouldn’t avoid a loan anymore, if I needed [...]
