I'm getting closer to thirty, I'm a stay-at-home father to a toddler and a husband to a wife who enjoys a good board game every now and then. I have a M.A. in information studies and hope to work in library or some other information establishment at some point. Right now I'm writing books.

I have a blog on board games (Gameblog, going strong since 2002) and write reviews in Finnish on my Lautapelaaja.net web site. I'm involved in the Finnish board game scene in many ways: I'm an active member of the Finnish Board Game Society, a translator of game rules and an (sort of) employee for Lautapelit.fi, the most important Finnish game store and publisher.

My Top 10 list is my all-time top 10 hot games, Hot 10 is the hottest games in the last year. Both are calculated using Matthew Gray's hot games metric and updated every now and then.
