Normally I play Civilization V Scenarios and almost only that. Recently though I can’t make screenshots of the games anymore, which makes “playing these scenarios” and “preparing for blog posts” utterly difficult. Luckily Steam offers a wide range of solutions. Namely other games. So I distracted myself with SpaceChem, a nice chemistry puzzle game. NO…
“Recently” (actually starting two and a half months ago) we did the third Magic The Gathering Draft Tournament at work. The first one wasn’t really worth talking about. Most of us created kinda bad decks without much synergies, so obviously our Magic masters won in a landslide. This time, just like in the Fyber Aether…

Conquest of the New World Scenario Conquest of the New World Strategy games are plenty. And what a great scenario the setting makes: Dreams of Wealth and Power. Over centuries The Americas have inspired Europeans to take on the perilous journey across the ocean into the unknown. Me and my imagination first encountered the New World…

It includes the Elizabethan period and is considered a period of English expansionism and optimism. The reign of Elizabeth I. marks a Golden Age in English history…
We did it: We played an Aether Revolt Magic Draft. At Fyber there’s many special interest groups. That might sound weird now, but it’s all in your head. I’m referring to hobbies and activities. Amongst others we’ve recently started playing Magic again! Yes!!! Magic: The Gathering! The one trading card game that you spent all…
