LOTR – The two towers – trick taking game
When I see something Lord of the rings-related I usually buy it, especially if it’s a board game, card game, video game (don’t even get me started on the Gollum-game), Lego, coaster. Slap something LOTR-related on it and I will probably buy it, within limits, I’m not crazy. LOTR The fellowship – trick taking game… Continue reading

The first post – who am I?
I am back in the world of blogging after a hiatus of about ten years or something. I used to blog about life, but thought that life should instead be lived. But since I love to write I thought that I could try my hand at writing about the things I love – books, games… Continue reading
