More Phoenicia

Three more rounds of two-player Phoenicia. Two were quite exciting: first one went to tiebreaker, second one I eventually won as Tommy continued to struggle with economical restraints. Storage is good thing to have. The third game was a slaughter;...

Phoenicia at JKLM Interactive

I played a game of Phoenicia at JKLM Interactive. It's a neat idea: they're offering a online game until the game is published. I'm not sure they're going to have lots of players when the game is published and playing...
