Review – Claim
Two-player trick-taking games are odd ducks. I mean, not Cobra Chicken odd ducks. Nothing compares to them. But they are odd in their own way. They always have to have some kind of neat twist because otherwise it’s just two players laying down cards… Continue Reading “Review – Claim”
Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria – Storage Solution from Folded Space
It’s been a little while since I raved about the virtues of Folded Space boardgame inserts! I bought three of them at the same time back in December, but then only assembled the Guild Academies of Valeria one. However, I’ve now put together the… Continue Reading “Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 104 – Go For Broke
It’s been three years. Three years since I watched a bunch of videos about this wargmaming tournament with monthly games against different opponents each month, each featuring a scenario from various expansions and battle packs which will keep the variety going. Yes, it’s been… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 104 – Go For Broke”

The March ladder scenario is always taken from the Sea Lion… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report Supplemental No. 4 – Scenario 89 – Beneath a Steel Sky”
April 2024 Gaming
After a really full March, where it seemed like I played one game a day (ok, that’s only if you average it out, but still), April was a wasteland for gaming, sadly. Missing two Sundays, not as many games during lunch at work (if… Continue Reading “April 2024 Gaming”
New to Me – April 2024
After a March that was a literal cornucopia of new games (yes, literal, they were all about fruit and veggies!), April was a really hard month for new to me games (and games in general, but that’s tomorrow’s post). Until last Sunday, I only… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2024”
