Playing Strong Hold with a 3 year old Some time ago, I remembered I bought Strong Hold on the Good Old Games store, and that I could try to run it on my new PC. As I was installing it, Elenka showed up, asking what am I doing. So I decided to show her :-) Strong Hold is a real-time strategy game, with most of what you’d expect from the genre.

Playing Kingdomino with a 3 year old I have recently discovered a really nice board-game. Well, discovered might be a strong word, it has won Spiel des Yahres for 2017, so it is pretty well known by now. It is a simple game, might take me and my wife around half an hour to play a round and we can manage the rules even when exhausted after the day is over and before we go to bed.

Haligali is quite an old game, we used to play from time to time. The game itself is based on reflexes and ability to count quickly, similar to games like set, dobble or jungle-speed. Rules look like this: Everybody starts with a large deck of cards in front of them Each card contain one to five pieces of the same fruit (banana, lemon, strawbery or plum) there is a small ringing-bell (image) in the reach of every player all the players flip the card from their draw decks at once if there isn’t 5 pieces of the same fruit on the cards together, all players put their card into their personal discard-piles if there are 5 pieces of the same fruit total, the player who notices and first rings the bell takes all of the discard piles and shuffles them into her deck if the player rings the bell in error, she has to give each other player one card last player with cards in the deck wins We have assumed, that quick counting is not one of our Elen’s strong suits just yet, even though she manages to count to five.

Disclaimer, this post was spured by a tweet by Steven Lumpkin about Blades in the Dark. I kinda assume you know what Blades in the Dark is, you probably played it and want to play it weirder. I love Blades in the dark. Have DMd it for a few sessions, have a group where i have several characters for a few months now. But when I play this, I am still mostly in my Powered by the Apocalypse mode.

For all intents and purposes, pexesso is a simple game to test your memory. You have a lot of square cards that look the same from one side and have some sort of pretty picture on the face of the card. There are always two cards with the same picture. You put all the cards face down, and then take turns revealing two cards for all to see, and collecting them if they form a pair.
