Recent new games

September 17, 2011

Looks like my game reporting is lagging a bit, again. Two weeks ago I introduced Attika to my Monday game opponent. This classic is still fun and an interesting challenge. Barons is a very ugly game (as can be expected) from Cambridge Game Factory. Too bad is nowhere near as interesting as Glory to Rome. [...]

Da Vinci’s Challenge

October 18, 2006

Review in Finnish here DaVinci’s Challenge is yet another game trying to milk the popularity of Dan Brown’s books. Once again, any connection between this game and Leonardo Da Vinci is fairly thin and based on art alone (and even the art is mangled: let’s just say the Vitruvian Man is less of a man [...]

Ta Yü rules

December 13, 2005

Since Ta Yü is generally available for a very cheap price (well, at least in Germany), I thought translating the rules might be a good idea. Thus, I present to you: Ta Yü rules in Finnish.

Good offers

November 7, 2005

As much as I wish to support the local game store, there are some offers you just can’t afford to miss. Ta Yü is a really good game that’s been either too expensive or hard to get. Now it’s neither, as just about every German online store is unloading it at 19.90 euros. Go grab [...]

Ta Yü

July 6, 2004

I wrote a review of Ta Yü. It’s in Finnish, as usual. Ta Yü is one of the most beautiful games in my collection. I just love the plastic tiles, which remind me of Mahjong. It’s the same kind of heavy plastic. The game, which is an abstract game with German origins, does a pretty [...]

A two-player game session

July 5, 2004

My brother came by and, of course, we played some games. The first game we played was Memoir ’44. We took the Operation Lüttich scenario; I was the allies, he was the axis. I lost 4-2, as his elite panzers managed to secure the village Axis needed to get and then killed three of my [...]

Ta Yü and blog technicalities

January 30, 2004

I wrote a short review of Ta Yü yesterday and that inspired me to play a game. I played with Johanna and she beat me… But it was pretty close, just 25-21. It’s interesting how we both had ten connections, but as she had 5×5 and I had 3×7, she won. The scoring system is [...]

Board game club meeting

November 3, 2003

Our board game club had a meeting yesterday. Lots of games were played, which was good. I started the afternoon with Web of Power. It’s one of my favourites, but I haven’t played it often this year. I should, I should… The game was rather exciting in the end. My score depended a lot from [...]

Ta Yü with Johanna

September 21, 2003

Johanna wanted to play something Friday evening. That’s always ok with me, so we started to think about what to play. Since Johanna wanted to try something new, that ruled out Through the Desert, which was otherwise a strong contender. It became a choice between Ta Yü and Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico was perhaps a [...]

Lahti Board Game Weekend, Friday

September 8, 2003

So, I spent the weekend at the Munter mansion in Lahti, playing games. It was an excellent weekend of games, one of the best I’ve participated in. Not the best, though — I think game events get better the less people there are. The participants were pretty carefully selected, but not enough. The ideal for [...]
