With SPIELWORXX as the theme for this Saturday, we have Gentes, The Cost, Ground Floor, West of Africa, and London Necropolis Railway on the tables. Enjoy this pictorial recap of these games! Yes we’ll be back for Spielworxx Part 2 as there are still so many more Spielworxx titles to play thru!
Here’s a picture-heavy recap of our journey to bring Euro Saturdays back to our event calendar! Hope this gives you a good comparison of the games we bring out for Saturdays, compared to the more casual and beginner-friendly vibes of our regular Casual Fridays.
We pivoted from OTK Fridays to Casual Fridays post-COVID. And somehow we’ve hosted over a hundred sessions since – without a single sessrep. While that’s a symptom of just how busy the biz has been keeping us, it’s also a regret (tho a shallow one) that we can’t get back to sessrepping. With that said, we broke the duck with the 1st sessrep for Casual Friday. Welcome back! And a little bonus for you at the end of the sessrep.
With us slowly getting back into Meetups in this RMCO period, we were glad to be able to check-off one 18xx session this month. Here’s a recap of our session last Sat where 10 ppl explored choo-choo trains in Czech Republic and Mexico.
BGC’s traditional once-a-year gathering of friends over Xmas to play Twilight Imperium was back on the menu last Dec. Find out how our R10E6 Twilight Xmas session went, and how boardgames forge friendships that can endure years!
With the new AGE OF STEAM Deluxe Edition now readily available and a batch of new maps from AV Studio, it’s time for OTK to revisit one of our top faves. Find out what we thought of the PANAMA, SWITZERLAND and VIETNAM expansion maps.
To many, the Orient Express is a once-a-lifetime adventure given how prohibitive a ticket is. Likewise the 18OE Orient Express (one of the many 18xx titles we at OTK enjoy) could be a once-a-lifetime experience given how prohibitively long the playtime is (12hrs min?). Anyway we decided to give this game a spin on a mid-week public holiday. Read on to get a good overview of how this game plays out, and where next for the Orient Express?
An accidental stumble into a video posted by Wilhelmsen to their Facebook page about the port of BREMERHAVEN prompted me to revisit this 2013 classic.
The first of our Essen gaming Friday saw us took a mix of light, medium and medium-heavy games for a spin…. read on to see what we think of The Prodigals Club, Celestia and this year’s 2nd ranked game in Fairplay and also Alexander Pfister (of Isle of Skye and Broom Service) first foray into medium economic game Mombasa.
The Old Town Kopitiam meetup continues this Friday with three more games including the highly rate Broom Service hitting the tables. Find out Heng’s impression of these games.
While the BoardgameCafe.net crew is away at Essen for SPIEL 2015, some OTK regulars met up at our previous meetup venue OLD TOWN KOPITIAM Cheras for a night of Barony and Galaxy Rolling…. read on to find out their impressions of these two games.
An evening where we planned to ROLL THROUGH THE AGES ended up with two sessions of THROUGH THE AGES instead. Both (the rare) 1st Edition and (the erroneous) 2nd Edition were in play. Find out the future of THROUGH THE AGES in 2015. This completes a trilogy of gaming sessions that started with Rahdo’s Top Ten Heaviest Games and ended with Vlaada’s Thru the Ages.

Follow us as OTK Cheras went thru half of RAHDO RUNS THROUGH’s Top Ten Heaviest Games list in our Friday OTK Boardgame Meetups. For tonight, the list of games to be covered were Agricola, In the Year of the Dragon, Brass, Zhanguo and Vinhos.
After CLINIC’s sessrep, here’s our take on Bernd Eisenstein’s latest game from last Essen PANTHALOS. Dare you anger the Titans from the Underworld of Greek Antiquity?
Been awhile since I put in a sessrep. Here’s a lengthy one on CLINIC, the Town Center designer Alban’s most recent game from last Essen. We also did SAMURAI SPIRIT, LA ISLA and PANTHALOS among other games seen in-play tonight at OTK.
We’ve not been doing theme nights for awhile at OTK so we thought of going back to themes for this Friday. And one theme we’ve not done is FARMING. AGRICOLA likely comes to your mind first, however since most gamers would have been acquainted with that game, we thought of bringing out some lesser known “farm” theme games. Let’s walk thru OTK’s Farming Night and see why Ganja farms best for four. 😛
A replay of GAME ZERO & GAME ONE from our BGC Retreat event last year saw us revisit ORIGIN, MARS NEED MECHANICS, PELOPONNES, AFRICANA, BUCCANEER BONES, ZOOLORETTO DICE.. and MISSION: RED PLANET (?) at OTK Cheras last night.
