Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation

Café Games: Gargon, Höhlengrölen, LotR: Confrontation

February 9, 2004

This time we didn’t play Go at all! What a surprise! Instead we played some cards. Because there was five of us present, we had little choice amongst the games I brought. So we played Gargon, which is an interesting card game. It’s main quirk is that the backs of the cards are coloured according [...]

Games with Johanna

August 22, 2003

Yesterday I played some games with the best of all opponents, Johanna. She wanted to play something, so I suggested Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation. I wasn’t completely sure if that was her kind of game, but she seemed to like it. As was proper for her first game, she won, too. Frodo managed [...]

Wednesday games, part 8: Liar Dice

July 31, 2003

We had another pleasant game session Yesterday. I started with Erkka, trying out a prototype I’ve been thinking about lately. My aim is to create a card-driven two-player tile-laying game that feels like Go. Not an easy task and the current version of the game simply sucks. Too bad. I’ll try to fix it a [...]

Wednesday games, part 6: Time Control, Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation

July 17, 2003

This time we had a much smaller attendance. I arrived at 11.30 am and met Erkka, who had also just arrived. Fortunately I had planned to play two-player games! We started with Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation. We played two games, and both of us won one game. We both won with the good [...]

New games

July 14, 2003

My game collection has grown with two new games. I picked up Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation and Balloon Cup from the post office today. They were my reward for translating the Dragon Ball Z card game rules. I’m looking forward to trying Balloon Cup as soon as possible, it seems like a rather [...]

The Games Journal is out

January 3, 2003

Finally the January 2003 The Games Journal is out. There’s an article about Princes of Florence and Puerto Rico by yours truly, a very interesting article (based on a thesis) about combining electronics and board games and some witty comedy. There’s also the solution for the last month’s Confrontation puzzle, which I thought was unsolvable. [...]
