dropping by eSeL's cribwhat a misleading title! i didn't take any shots of his really nice apartment on Schönbrunnerstrasse. 
Lorenz Seidler aka eSeL: Vienna art theorizer.
This is Lola - ain't he a beauty?
I can't see you Lola - where are you?
Guess what eSeL brought from his recent trip to Amsterdam ... NO! He brought a game! Alas, the original name is unknown to me.
eSeL said it's something pronounced like "dshoorlarn", but he learned the name from an austrian with a strange dialect ;)
It's a fun game. You got to shove wooden jetons into those 4 slots you can see. Each player plays three rounds in a row, then points are summed up.
When i started rather forcefully, eSeL advised me to go at it more gently - but
soon he abandoned his soft-pushing strategy in favor of a more energetic style! |

he claimed that a) it came from "North" b) it might be called "Schurlan.
both claims turned out to be true as we really found the game in amsterdam.
...in ONE location at least - though it´s a pretty big game it´s obviously well hidden.. >;e)
.. you didn't give me the dutch pronounciation, yesterday - i can't imagine schurlan in vorarlbergian would make sense to a dutchperson - unless you stand in front of the game and point to it?
