(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.
Excellent approach towards introducing the bigger world of board games to newcomers. Proprietors are very friendly and down-to-earth, and the board gaming crowd are usually friendly and helpful as well. Competitive prices and wide range of availability makes this an easy choice as a place to shop.
Friendly and effective seller, highly recommended !
Owners were extremely friendly and helpful!
If I have one complain it would be that notifications on your online shop are not working. 🙂 Otherwise keep up the good work.
