The unbearable ease of starting board gaming hobby
While scrolling through board gaming news this popped up, a nice article about getting board games on the table with family and friends. The text goes through well how to choose a game by audience and where to get information about board games.
In addition to the article, it is worth paying attention to a couple of things; from libraries you can invariably borrow board games with your library card, there are many organizations around Finland which promote board gaming activities and organize free gaming activities, and it is always worth carrying a small game with you because good moments to play may surprise you (we always have Dalmuti in our backpack)
Z-Man Games pulls yet another OOP game back into print
Russian Railroads has sat tight for the best part of eight years in the Board Game Geeking Top 100, being out of print for most of that time. But not anymore! Last week, Z-Man Games announced its intention to re-edition this classic. And it's not just a matter of upping the visuals of the old base game. The promos that appeared for the original Russian Railroads, as well as American Railroad and German Railroads expansions, are all packed in a new Ultimate Railroads package. In addition, the game will include a completely new Asian Railroads expansion that also adds a long-awaited solo game format to the game.
This is the way to handle all the reprints!
