Ivanhoe, Acquire

with 3 comments

Ivanhoe

I think even the more rabid Ivanhoe fans in my group are getting tired of this. The winner ran away with this just seven “tricks” through the game.

Acquire

This was the second outing and again everyone enjoyed it, even though I ran away with a huge win – mainly because I played it by email more recently.

I am very happy I bought the early ‘90s Schmidt edition. Some might argue that it is not as well made as the latest Avalon Hill edition, but the shiny plastic buildings are fun and the box art is so bad that it is good. How early ‘90s is this? Double-breasted suits and colourful blazers with rolled up sleeves… It makes Miami Vice look tasteful.

  3. I managed to fix the validation problems. I was using a Textile plugin that did not allow foreign characters. I moved back to the default wordpress plugin, but I think that will break some other stuff. :(

    Thanks for the tip anyway.
