(left: Nelson, right: Blownfreaks) This day saw the return of Nelson back to OTK, unfortunately into the jaws of Age of Steam sharks. (pic: Afif) Afif, the other AOS newbie learning the ropes. (left: me, middle:kaz) I did what I normally do and secure the locomotive action early […]
The game session started with El Grande. (left: Crabzai, right:Blownfreaks) Oldie but goldie. Played it only once before, still not doing great in this session. (left: me) I put many people onto my ‘court’ unaware that there are nefarious cards that can wipe them all out! We did […]

SIX souls have been chosen from the OTK group of gamers and will re-enact the battle for control of Arrakis and it’s invaluable spice melange. The SIX will take on one of these roles; each with his/her/it’s own agenda – Atreides, Harkonnen, Shaddam, the Guild, Fremen and Bene Gesserit. Who shall prevail in this classic yet out-of-print game from Avalon-Hill? Stay tune as we announced the date/time soon…
A not-so-frequent session with the Pudu gamers after our usual CNY dinner get-together. We did Aladdin’s Dragons (which they liked) and Battlestar Galactica (which the Humans won due to divine intervention *tsk tsk*)
The overdue report of the session before-and-after Chinese New Year where we intro-ed Agricola to two newbies (using the K-deck no less) and Aladdin’s Dragons get another session, this time with the full might of the Magic Spells!
Dungeon Lords was played for the first time in M’sia. Find out what we think of it. Plus more moor farming in Agri-land till the wee hours of Sat morning.
The full sessrep for last Fri’s session where we did Small World, Chicago Express, Bang!, Powergrid Korea (covered in an earlier sessrep posted a few days ago) and Factory Manager.
Looks like it’s Friedemann Friese’s nite as we did two of his games… Powergrid and Factory Manager. The Korean map of Powergrid pose the interesting question of whether you buy resources from the North or South Korean market…. Read ayheng’s report of his winning session and pick up one or two Powergrid strategies from him. Also, find out what is “Powergrid Director’s Cut”. Enjoy!
Staff is friendly, great prices and cool library. Definitely recommend anyone who is interested in purchasing board games 😉
Great people, great environment, great experience. For a true board game lover.
Kudos to CK and gang who worked hard at creating board-gaming awareness. OTK is a great place to host such events and I will definitely be one of the main supporters. As usual, whenever there are games that needs reviewing, I would be happy to contribute.
