Thursday session: Greentown, Corner Lot

During yesterday's game session, I was able to play the two games I most wanted. First we played Greentown, a rather excellent route-building game. Players develop the board to make the most beneficial tourist routes. Route cards specify the...

A new prototype!

I came up with a simple game idea today; it was so simple I didn't even need to write up the rules to try it. It was fun, and definitely something I'll develop a bit more. It does have a...

The first boardgame club meeting this Fall was yesterday. It sure was great to get some gaming action going on. We had a decent showing, with about two tables going on most of the time. First game I played was...

A prototype game

I got a prototype game in mail from an American reader of this web site. It looks interesting, it's a quite flexible abstract game system. A bit like the GIPF project games, perhaps. But, that's all about it now -...

Game idea

For the last few days, I've been thinking about an auction game idea. It just might have something to do with the fact that I played Ra Friday and enjoyed it a lot... Anyway, I'm eager to test my ideas....
