A Few Acres of Snow is a good game I've played way too little. I like the asymmetry of the sides with totally different strategies and so far I've found out that, as beginner, it's easier to win as France. Just aim for the victory points... with British you have to be more creative. And no, I don't want to know anything about HH.

Tank on Tank is also nice little wargame with one major drawback - it's price tag. With MRSP as 25-30€ (or something like that) you get the sub-par quality/components. But if you manage to get this for 10-15€ there's plenty to enjoy. Different terrains, covers, AT guns, Tigers, artillery, flanking... wargame within an hour. Bueno.

Also had one Steel Driver yesterday. I noticed from BGG that it was nominated as 2009 Golden Geek Best Gamers' Board Game... Idunno... I usually dig trackbuilding and economy and stocks and so on but this one tasted a bit too... weird. It's like taking Automobile and Transport Tycoon together and adding some kniziesque set collection to the end (where most of the money is received). Did I say money? No, actually I wanted to say victory points... as this is one of the few games where you can buy nothing with the money. Brrr.

Dixit Odyssey with 8 players. Actually it was for me a bit surprising to see how many times everybody guessed correctly the storyteller's card. Table talk was the best. And "bashing" the Steel Driver's winner :)

And finally - good news, everybody! One of my designs is now available for download, as free PNP. Geocaching-themed "FTF", available here. If there are any misunderstandings in English rules, I'm sorry -translation was made by your humble servant himself. Just ask then. Or play as you seem better. Have fun, at least!

So long, and thanks for all the games.
