FIKA Print and Play Card Game

FIKA is an 18 card print and play game in which two players try to win rounds by selling coffee, tea and pastry. It comes with a solo mode. From the BGG description:

Players must use the actions and goals on their cards and the cards in the FIKA supply in order to outsmart their opponent. The player that can win two rounds by getting the maximum value out of his cards, wins the game. 

I like these mini games. They’re easy to print and assemble, and for a couple of bucks worth of ink and paper, I can get a nice filler game.

Warmaster Dacians Blog

I just found a new blog written by a guy chronicling his efforts to build a 10mm Warmaster Dacian army.

Valiant Britons

Valiant Britons is Jim Wallman’s contribution to wargaming ancient british tribes in the pre Roman era. Its designed for 15mm figures, but he says that any scale will do. Like all of Wallman’s rules sets, it’s well done and makes me want to start painting the period immediately.

Pirates of Yendor Sea Battle Rules

The indefatigable Jim Wallman has a new set of miniatures rules called “The Pirates of Yendor.” It’s for fantasy naval warfare, with rules for elf and dwarf galleys, corsairs and such. It also has an interesting pre-planned movement system using cards.

It all makes me want to get out my old Games Workshop Man O War figures.
