Steamy steeds

January 24, 2010

Played Dampfross today. It’s dated, slightly too long, but good fun nevertheless. I would like to play the game again, but I think it might be a bit difficult. Here’s Robert thinking about his final moves in the building phase. All cities are connected, so it’s time to race! I’m the red network, spreading out [...]

Age of Steam: Texas, Oklahoma & New Mexico

May 19, 2009

Last Sunday’s board game club was an excellent opportunity to get some Age of Steam action. I had heard a tip that Winsome’s cow expansion Age of Steam: Texas, Oklahoma & New Mexico is good, so that’s what we tried. I enjoyed it. The expansion has cattle. In the first round, 32 cattle cubes are [...]

Board game club: Steel Driver, Torres

January 11, 2009

I had a great time at today’s board game club (yeah, the baby’s still waiting for a nice day to be born — perhaps next week?). I started with quick five-player game of Formissimo, which is a simple speed test pattern recognition puzzle. Cards have images with different attributes. 30 cards are laid on the [...]

Board game club: Dominion, Container

October 28, 2008

Last Sunday I visited the board game club and instead of the quick visit last time, I was able to play games for few hours. We started with a quick round of Halli Galli Extreme for warm-up. It’s a nice little game, quick and entertaining. Some won’t like the extra difficulty from the animals, but [...]

Back to New England

September 21, 2008

I visited board game club today for a while. I had to leave early, but I did have time for a round of New England Railways. We got five players and this time, since I was carrying Age of Steam as well, we replaced the cardboard chits with actual wooden cubes. It was much better. [...]

Finncon + Board Game Club: Steam over Holland, West Riding

August 3, 2008

I’ve been too busy to write a session report from Finncon. Well, now I have time. I’ll combine reports, as I just returned from our board game club, where I had a rather splendid little session. So, watch out for another blog entry of epic proportions… I played Steam over Holland in both sessions, so [...]

Board game club: Antiquity

January 21, 2008

It’s been a while since I last visited the board game club. Bad timing and busy weekends… It was a real pleasure to go and to celebrate, I decided to play something heavier that doesn’t quite work with our Thursday evening sessions. First game of the afternoon was something lighter, though: we played Verflixxt! with [...]

Board game club: Age of Steam, End of the Triumvirate

September 24, 2007

It’s been a while since my last visit to the board game club. Yesterday I was able to go, and had enough time, too, to play some heavier games. We started with Age of Steam: Mississippi Steamboats, one of Ted Alspach’s expansions. It’s a long and narrow board, split by the big river. Urbanization doesn’t [...]

Board game club session: Himalaya, Beowulf

March 12, 2007

Yesterdays’ board game club session started with Himalaya. I’ve played it before (during our mega Saturday in December 2005), but this time we had the correct rules and all. It was fun. We had a swift group, so the game was over in about 60 minutes. Nobody got paralysed programming their yaks and we executed [...]

Board game club session: Quackle!, Great Wall of China, Imperial

February 18, 2007

Excellent session at the board game club today, I got to play everything I wanted! Quackle!, maybe better known as Snorta! for you foreign folks, was a silly game. It’s nice, but I much prefer Halli Galli when it comes to games like this. Quackle! seems to require a very specific atmosphere (read: very giggly); [...]
