Gaming Year 2011

January 1, 2012

2010 was a good year. Well, 2011 was even better. I played more games than on any year on my records. Quality matters, too, but I can control quality more than I can control quantity and if quantity is good, quality tends to be good as well. I played lots of games with my son. [...]

Games with kids

March 2, 2011

I missed Wednesday games last week, so it’s been a bit quiet. However, I’ve been playing lots of games with Nooa, I’m just lazy blogging about them. Here’s a bit of catch-up on that front: Mouse Carousel. Nine games in couple of days. Nooa is pretty good in this now he’s a bit older. When [...]

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 [...]

Games at Jyväskylä: Mahjong, Agricola

October 12, 2008

I went to Jyväskylä with Nooa for the weekend and as usual, it means some games too. Their collection has grown enough that I don’t really have to bring any games with anymore, so this time I just brought a pack of mahjong cards with me. So that’s what we started with, six hands of [...]

Visiting Jyväskylä: Villa Paletti, Da Vinci Code, Agricola

December 9, 2007

I was visiting my parents in Jyväskylä this weekend and as usual, games were played. We started already in the afternoon with Villa Paletti. I like the game, and this reminded me why. It’s just so much fun. The last game we played was particularly delicious. The lowest level was supported by three small pillars: [...]

Weekend games, Sunday

August 11, 2003

Sunday began with a game of Mamma Mia! with the kids. They’ve become fans quickly, I guess I’ll just have to keep on taking the game with me from now on. I’d also throw a guess that it’s going to appear on the next Adam Spielt order, too… Land Unter, here are the kids. Kids, [...]

Post-Christmas games: Villa Paletti & Scrabble

December 29, 2002

I went “back home” to visit my parents with Johanna. Games couldn’t be avoided, especially since I had given Villa Paletti to my mother as a Christmas present. It turned out to be a good gift — which was expected, since she has always enjoyed Timpuri, a Finnish variant of Jenga. Well, we played a [...]

Board game club meeting

November 11, 2002

Seurapelikerho met last Sunday. Not many people came, but we had a good time nonetheless. I didn’t play many games, but those few were good games I had wanted to play, so I’m satisfied. I started with Villa Paletti, introducing it to the club. We had a good time playing it and the game actually [...]

Villa Paletti

November 4, 2002

I happened to run into Villa Paletti when I was shopping some birthday gifts for my girlfriend. I resisted the temptation until the next day, when I went and bought it. I was finally able to play it for real in the HelCon. We played some two-player games with Tommy on the day before, but [...]
