Thursday session: Wabash Cannonball and Dolmengötter

Yesterday’s session started with an interesting game of Wabash Cannonball. We only had three players, so it was a different game to start with.

I managed to lose the game on the first round. I got shares of PRR and C&O (red and yellow), probably the two weakest choices, while Sami got NYC and B&O. Hannu was left without shares. I obviously made an empty capitalization, but Sami chose to expand. Hannu bought a share with his superior finances, then I did another empty capitalization to stop him from getting two shares.

Here was my mistake: I persuaded Hannu to buy a share from Sami’s company. In the hindsight, I should’ve had him buy one of mine. The rest of the game was pure misery, less said about it the better. Still, Wabash Cannonball is a great game, can’t help it.

Hannu won, 142-120-84. Sami was second and probably handed Hannu the victory by driving B&O to Chicago, giving Hannu free option to Wabash Cannonball. I could’ve bought it, but Hannu had a turn before me, so Hannu would’ve diluted the company immediately, so I couldn’t afford to bid too much. Hannu got it and made a nice profit. Of course, Sami had only played once before and that’s advanced strategy.

We had time for something short, so we played two games of Die Dolmengötter. My rating of 10 is so correct for this game, it’s definitely one of the very best. Of course I won both matches, the second one was particularly sweet as I beat Hannu with the tie-breaker. Sweet. This is an amazingly good game.

Download Unlimited Wii Stuff

The new Wii console has become increasingly popular over recent time, which has led to a vast amount of people wishing to know if they can download free Wii games. When a simple search online is conducted, Wii game downloads and the possibilities of obtaining the games are offered by a wide variety of sites. Yet it is questionable whether these sites are reliable, virus free and provide games that are of quality.

Older games as well as new releases will be offered on good Wii sites. You have the ability to download your old favorites, as well as demanded new games as classic Nintendo games are supported by the Wii. Do a search for a site offering a good variety of different games if downloading free Wii games is something that you wish to do. Do not give a site that you do not trust, or one that does not feel quite right, your personal information or money. Sites which are poorly designed, will sell your personal information or will overload your computer with malware should be avoided.

They are usually two different types of ways websites offer Wii game downloads. A one-time flat rate may give you access to an unlimited number of downloads or you may be charged for every download that you make. The number of games you require is likely to determine which kind of website you select. If you wish to download extensive Wii games, the best choice for you would be the offer of unlimited downloads. If you require only one special Wii game that you cannot locate anywhere else, then it may be a better choice to pay only for that download which will be cheaper.

Before downloading free Wii games, you may be required to download special software. This software may either connect you to the main server of that site, or it may connect you to other users of the site, which will enable you to download the Wii games that you require. An emulator operates in exactly the same way as the Nintendo console would and is required to play downloaded games on your computer.

It can be a little more difficult to select a site from which you wish to download the games than it is to simple to locate a website that allows you to download free Wii games. Check all available sites with caution before you select one for downloading. Within only a few minutes of registering with the website of your choice you could be downloading your favorite Wii games.

How To Find The Newest Free PSP Game Downloads For Your System

The PSP has quickly become the best-selling portable gaming system and has found customers from all around the world. It’s truly a full entertainment system that you can use while you’re on “on the go”. One of the best features of the PSP is being able to use PSP game downloads instead of having to go to the store each time you want a new game.

Since one of the most frequent questions we get from PSP owners is where you can find free PSP downloads, we thought it would be helpful to go over your options.

You have three many options when you are looking for free PSP downloads.

Option #1

You can find websites that have flashy banners that advertise “free PSP downloads”. It sounds great to begin with however you have to be careful if you ever use the websites.

It’s important that you are cautious if you do try to download a game from one of these websites. There have been a good number of them that are now shut down for spreading viruses or spyware.

The biggest complaint we receive about these websites is that the downloads are incredibly slow and many of the games don’t end up working. It’s incredibly annoying having to wait over a day for something to finish downloading only to find out it doesn’t even work.

These websites aren’t monitored or properly maintained so we typically recommend staying away from them. They usually end up just being a headache in the longrun.

Option Number Two

This next option eliminates the problems found it the first one but it will cost a few dollars. There are PSP membership websites that let you download any game you want for a monthly membership fee (about $30-$40).

This ends up being a good option for people that will download quite a few games each month. Most of these websites will also let you download movies and music as well.

This option will make many people happy, but you should know there are even cheaper ways of getting PSP downloads.

Option #3

This last option ends up being a lot cheaper than option #2 and lets you use as many downloads as you want.

You can find PSP game download membership websites that only charge a one-time membership fee for lifetime access and unlimited downloads. Instead of having to pay a monthly charge, you are only billed once (about $35-45) and can then download whatever you want for as long as you own your PSP.

Since the companies that run these websites are doing it to make a profit, they make sure that the downloads are fast and that the files always work. The websites have daily updates and you can find all the new releases or most popular games.

There’s a link at the bottom of this article that you can use to start a free trial at a couple of the top-rated PSP download websites. It takes about 5 minutes to get started and the software you need to transfer the games onto your PSP is included.

As soon as you start using PSP downloads you will see how easy it really is. You don’t have to pay for each new game and you don’t ever have to set foot in the store again. It’s extremely addictive!

As the PSP continues to grow in popularity, we can only imagine that more and more people will start to use free PSP game downloads to keep their system ‘fully loaded’ with the newest games and movies. It’s the surefire way to make sure you never get bored!

How To Pick The Best Gaming Console

If you’re looking into buying a game system, you’ve probably spent at least a little debating which system to go with. Picking between the three big systems is tough, since all three have a lot to offer. How do you get a final decision?

Now, let us take a closer look at each system. Every system has it’s own uniqure selling points and quirks. To make a choice, it all comes down to your personal preferences.

We shall look at the Wii first. When the Wii broke onto the market, it completely changed the world of gaming. People who aren’t into gaming at all think the Wii is great. Grandmothers, girlfriends, and more are playing this console.

This is no surprise: the Wii is a blast! The tilt and position detecting controller of the Wii offers a completely different type of game play. Quite an amazing system. However, its graphics are not up to the latest standard, so some types of games won’t get the level of detail they deserve.

This is not an issue with the PlayStation 3. Nothing was spared to make the PS3 a performance monster, yielding the best graphics of all three. The PS3 makes games look amazing. It also has some of the hottest franchises in games available for it, further broadening the appeal.

The Xbox 360 is also very high performance. The performance of the Xbox 360 is quite impressive, as is its growing library of games. It comes in several system configurations that give you different levels of functionality out of the box. It also has large 3rd party support. If it’s Xbox 360 accessories you’re looking for, you will not be disappointed.

The games should be the deciding factor when picking between these three systems. Most people like the games offered by one particular system more than others. If you like games with innovative new gameplay, get a Wii. If you like Japanese franchises, most are on the PS3. If you like shooters, the controller makes these a blast to play. Figure out what you like to play, and work from there.

Thursday games: Steel Driver

An opportunity presented itself… We decided to put Nooa in temporary day care so Johanna could get a break and I could get some board game time. There’s a nice private day care center next to the university where we play, you can drop your kids there for an hour or few. That worked out well, Nooa had fun, and I was able to play games for two hours.

I presented a list of options and Hannu and Petri chose Steel Driver, since they hadn’t played it before. I was curious to try the game with three.

Turns out three isn't the optimal player count for this game. The auction loses some tension, as it's obvious that each player will buy two shares each turn. I can't see many possibilities to upset that balance, unless someone spends a lot to buy a single share or a company becomes too weak to buy. I really liked trying to figure out how to gain an advantage in shares, that was a fun part of the five-player game.

In the end, it was very balanced. I had 520 cash, Petri had 620 and Hannu had 640. Our stock portfolios were even more even: me and Petri had 1160, Hannu had 1130. So, I lost with 1680, Hannu was second with 1770 and Petri won with 1780 - and during the game I once told Petri not to fuss about a single build, as whether he gained $20 or $30 doesn't really matter in the end...

Free Xbox Games – How to Get Your Hands on Them

If you are the lucky owner of an Xbox console and are sick of paying expensive retail prices for your games you have come to the right place. There are now free alternatives available to you. This article will discuss your options for obtaining free xbox games and evaluate which one is best for you.

Apart from going out and buying game disks, there’s only one alternative, and that is for you to download free Xbox games. With regards to downloading games, there are two options available to you. You could choose to download from a torrent site, or you could be a little smarter than that, and join a download service instead.

For anyone who is even remotely concerned about the safety their computer, downloading games from a torrent website is simply not worth the risk you’ll be taking. After all, it’s no big secret that many harmful viruses as well as spyware and malware, can be passed onto you via torrent downloads. A membership download service on the other hand is completely safe, giving you total peace of mind that you won’t be subjecting your PC to any malicious programs.

The second big drawback with torrent sites is the fact that they are so slow. Downloads can take up to two weeks from torrent websites. This can be contrasted with a download services that offer absolutely lightning fast downloads. Anyone of your favourite games can be downloaded in just seconds from a top ranked download site.

There’s also a third reason for steering clear of the torrent sites and that’s because the vast majority of games you download from them, will be very poor quality. In fact, you can consider yourself extremely lucky if they can even be played at all. Also very annoying, is the fact that you may wait for a week or more for the download to complete, only to find out that it’s a trial version which requires payment from you before you get full access.

If you’re like me, a self-confessed Xbox addict, you’ll more than likely want to get your hands on each and every Xbox game there is and the best way to do that, is by joining a reputable download service. Providing you choose one of the top sites, you’ll also get access to a phenomenal amount of other free downloads such as music and movies.

These download services are extremely easy to use. They are designed so that even computers newbies can use them. A membership comes with instructional videos, customer support, and a 100% money back guarantee.

If you consider that membership with a top site for the most part, costs less than a single game, you really can’t lose. Even more assuring, is the fact that most of the top sites allow you a trial period of sixty days. If you decide you’d rather not be a member during this time, you can cancel your membership without any obligation and yet you still get to keep any of the games you downloaded.

A Very Simple Way To Copy Xbox Games

Gamers are constantly wondering how they can back up their Xbox games. Many of you have been asking us questions on this very topic! Tons of people make copies of their musc CD’s, but are completely unsure of how to make copies of their Xbox games.

Here we will show you how you can easily make copies of your Xbox games. Although, you must realize one thing before you continue reading the rest of this article.

The purpose of us writing this article is not to teach people how to illegally make copies of their favorite Xbox games. The intention is to show people how they can make backups of the many games that they already own. This is entirely legal and is a great way to ensure that you do not have to pay for the same disc more than once!

Now, lets get into the method of copying Xbox discs. The process is quite simple and does not have tons of complicated and technical instructions.

You may be asking yourself why you cannot just use the software that you use to burn music CDs to make copies of your favorite Xbox games.

The fact of the matter is that Xbox games need a much more advanced copying program to copy discs successfully.

In the industry of computer software all games have some sort of copyright protection on them. This is the protection that makes it totally impossible for your computer to read the disc unless you have the appropriate program installed. If your computer is unable to read this disc it also means that it is impossible for you to produce a copy of that same disc.

Several companies have produced software programs designed specifically for making backup copies of video games. After installing the program, your computer will be able to get past copyright protections on th disc which makes it possible to make copies of them.

After you download and install the appropriate program the rest of the process is extremely simple and easy. All you do is put in your game and let the computer make a copy of it on its hard drive. Afterwards you just insert a blank disc and sit back and wait while your computer transfers the game onto that disc.

You may think that I am over simplifying the entire process, but the truth is that this process is extremely easy and costs almost nothing!

I highly advise you to ensure that you do not overpay for a CD copying program. Many programs cost hundreds of dollars and there is no reason to pay this much for a CD copying program. Believe it or not, the top CD copying software costs only $30. Just remember that paying more does not necessarily give you a better product.

The process described in this article is by far the easiest way to copy Xbox games onto your computer. The process is extremely simple and will give you backups of your favorite Xbox games. Have fun with your gaming!
