In the future of playing I will be addicted to board games.
The video games got so boring to me. Always the same, always brings nothing even if I secured the whole world there from an alien invasion or whatever. Nobody cares outside of my room what I've done. Since I read the Bible and be thrown back into the time of the old testament which is thousands of years ago I came to the point that the classics are always the best.
Board games can make me addict in a positive way. Especially chess. Its one of the oldest classics in the world. So many strategies are possible. I can play it on my computer against Windows 7 but the problem is that a computer can calculate millions of possible moves in one second while a human brain can't. The computer can cheat always too and he does it. Funny, how to play chess and all it's secret tactics I learned by playing a old computer chess program. I also learned as a kid from my grandmother how to play Mill and Checkers (Draughts).
I also plan for the future to learn other board games I never learned before especially two: Backgammon and Mah Jiang.
Especially Mah Jiang is fascinating to me. I just know it in the european version from computer where you put two stones together and take them away until you have no stones on the board anymore. I never saw real Mah Jiang in my life before. Just in the movie "In the mood for love" where the neighbours of Maggie Chow and Tony Leung (the two actors) always played it. I just know it has something to do with cubes and stuff and that real chinese play it nonstop for 8 hours a day or even more. Is this crazy?
Luckily the laws of the old testament did not said already that board games are forbidden. I thought so because Backgammon seems to be from Babylon and the jews might hate that because the babylonians destroyed the first holy temple of Jerusalem. I hope such a law will not come when I continue with the Bible.
But there is another problem. All these games were never made to be singleplayer games so I cannot learn them or play them alone. I have no Mah Jiang game also. But I do not want to learn the rules etc. in internet because I do not trust the internet. I want to learn it from a real person.
It is fascinating that the technology goes on but behind big graphics the video games are all boring to me. Maybe it is because I'm getting old and I'm not a child anymore. But luckily board games are always there and you have something in your hand and not just a mouse.
If I just would have the equipment and a person who could teach me.

I do not know the card came or the book but I know that in history there was such a time. China was divided into Wei, Shu and Wu. I played a japanese game known as Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper which was set in this area but the game sucked lol. Well I do not look to play it online I would love to play it with somebody real. Unfortunately this is not possible.

Although you are not interested in card games, still would like to introduce "3 kingdoms kill" to you. Do you know "THREE KINGDOM"? It is one of China's four famous book. This game comes from it. If you have read this book, I am sure that you will like the game.

Ah I didn't knew you was in Prague. I never was but never saw a reason to go there lol. Well I guess you was just lucky but take care hehe. Yeah the german casinos are more strict because of youth protection. You cannot even play Lotto when you are under 18 years old. I think this is rediculous. They close the casinos for the youth but then they give all the money away for mobile phones and stuff like this. Well maybe if I have time I take a look there. :D But I guess it will be hard because of the time difference. Haha well I will just work on this day like always and then have my parents at home although I don't want this hehe. But thanks for remembering strangely italki already thinks now 2 days before my birthday that I'm already 23 lol. :D
