  1. Nie każdy zamek krzyżowców należał do templariuszy jak niektórzy sądzą;-) Karak w Jordanii był siedzibą świeckich lordów Królestwa Jerozolimskiego i jedną z najważniejszych twierdz kontrolujących szlak między Syrią a Egiptem.

    To stąd Renald de Châtillon napadał na karawany, prowokując Saladyna do wojny. Po zdobyciu zamku w 1188 roku twierdza nie przestała żyć – przez kolejne stulecia rozbudowywali ją Ajjubidzi i Mamelucy. Dziś jej kamienne korytarze nadal robią ogromne wrażenie.

    Jedyne czego żałuję to tego, że była to zorganizowana wycieczka a nie samodzielne szwendanie się jak zazwyczaj i nie mogłem eksplorować tego obiektu tak długo jak bym chciał. A podziemi do łażenia są tam chyba kilometry;-)

  3. #Karak II - I can't say I'm fully convinced by this #boardgame yet. Played four times so far. Material is very good. The heroes seem well balanced (unlike the first game). But I find the heroes become very powerful quite quickly, which makes the repeated and rather fiddly hunt for resources rather routine as the monsters don't provide much of a challenge anymore. Even before the second level tiles appear, it feels a bit like all are just waiting for the dark general to finally appear. Let's see.
