Title: Arimaa reviewed on a Finnish board game site
Post by clojure on Oct 5^th, 2010, 2:56am

I reviewed Arimaa on a Finnish board games site:
http://www.lautapeliopas.fi/peliarvostelut/arimaa/

The Google translation is unfortunately horrible.

I'm not sure whether one can automatically translate it with any engine. There's some puns and I wonder why anyone would spend their time on making a good Finnish translator =)

edit: I especially liked the "Size does not matter" headline translation since the original has the opposite meaning in different words.

Thanks for the review Henrik. I used the built in translator in Chrome and right from the first sentence I was enjoying the translation :-)

"Abstract board games are often shunned the theme of deprivation and pregnancy."

The owner of the site sent me a link to it and said it was a very glowing review.

It's good to hear you enjoyed the collaborative effort of me and Google Translator. :)
