About
My name is Michel Wermelinger and I enjoy playing German-style board and card games, which are quite different from abstract two-player games like Chess, trick-taking card games like Bridge, and luck-driven games like Monopoly. If you’d like some advice on which games to try out first, BoardGameGeek has put together a list of recommendations, with pointers to other lists of suggestions.
I’m a member of the Newport Pagnell gaming group. You can see the last games I played (not just within the gaming group) on the sidebar, which also contains random lists of games from my own collection and from my wishlist. These two lists will change every time you refresh the web page. Click on the game box images to obtain information about the games. For complete lists, click on the links under the “Games I…” heading.
The blog’s title is both a word play on the French word le dossier (meaning a file with information about some topic) and the concatenation of the Latin word ludo and dossier, indicating that this blog is a collection of notes on games and gaming. Although I prefer games requiring no batteries, I’m not immune to the allure of the odd computer game. Hence, this blog will collect my thoughts about both unplugged and plugged games I come across.
