I thought it would be nice to keep a gaming calendar and reflect back on what I played last week. So this is an attempt to do this. Maybe these are mostly for myself, but maybe someone will be interested to see them as well. The Internet is full of people that like even weirder things :)

• 2 Cuzco playtest. These were the definite gaming highlights for me this week. It was a really good week for Cuzco.
• 1 Zooloretto. It was my first game and I liked it. It was quite cute and mechanics worked nicely. Somehow it just didn’t get me hooked, so I gave it only 7. It could easily become 8 for me, but we will see. It just now one of those “I won’t buy it, but I will play it gladly when someone suggests it” -type of game. I wouldn’t be surprised if it would win this year’s SdJ. It’s certainly attractive family game.
• 1 For Sale. I borrowed this one two weeks ago and I have played it with my family. It has gotten a very good response. It feels like they have started to dread the Sunday’s when I pull out the new cool game and they need to learn yet-new-set-of-rules :) For Sale was able to break that. In fact my brothers wife just bought this to him, so that is a very good sign. The game was an exciting one too and I lost the game by one. The highlights for me was getting 14 with number 7 and getting 0 with number 25!
• 1 Cluedo. I have a reputation to buy games as gifts to my family members, so I had to live up to it and buy a travel version of Cluedo (it was cheap!) to my brother. On sunday night we finally got a chance to play it. We probably played some rules wrong, but it worked okay. I remember liking it a lot as a child and playing it now brought back some memories. For me, the game wasn’t all that exciting, but all the rest seemed to like it a lot. I won’t mind playing it again when they request it, but I will make sure I have something else to offer as well :)

That was it for the week 23. Not that many games played, but I’m more than happy with those 2 Cuzco playtests for the week. Zooloretto was a nice bonus as a new game as well.
