Almost forgot. We went to the Jaarbeurs (dammit; that's a BIG place!) in Utrecht the other day (actually both friday and saturday). There were 3 (three!!!!) markets at the same time. First of all the book market with tons and tons of book. I ended up buying an book of Ursula K. Le Guin, "Illia" by Dan Simmons, a handful of Flash and Media books, an opera book, a cook book (Thai) and a few other things (I can't remember right now). We went there to buy books for around 50€, but came out with books worth the double of that! Typical? The second market was the "Blokker 3-dagse" (no, not blogger!). Blokker is a chain of shops that sell everything from plates over vacuum cleaners to bikes and placemats. I refused buying anything but what we came there for (an electric orange/lemon juicer), but two knives and a box of dish washer tablets ended up in the basket anyway. Last market was a game market arranged by Ducosim (the Dutch play association), and was a mekka for play enthusiasts. It was possible to try out everything from roleplaying games over advanced board games to simple cards. We just looked...and the bought a game for 49€. The game is Alchimech, that we tried to play tonight. But the rules are ONLY in Dutch, and quite complicated, so we will try to look at it again another night. But it looks quite cool with a very different artistic look, which you otherwise only find in computer roleplay games. Maybe this is a game, that is so complex, that it should have been made as a computer games instead?! Remediation... *** - | posted by Tommy on 1:44 AM ---ooo--- |
