Introduction

A Word from the Webmaster

: I started to compile some information from the game, some forums and some of my own experiences. It started out as a little exercise in webdesign for my own amusement, but soon grew to something bigger. You can see this compilation as a beginners guide to Pro Pilkki 2, and later it may also become a more advanced guide.

This site is still work in progress, but I published it so you can have a little taste.
