BGG Top Games – 3901-4000
We’ve reached the 4000 mark in the BGG top ranked games list, and this century I have to say is one of the worst as far as my familiarity with any of the games goes. We haven’t hit the “I don’t know any of… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3901-4000”
Agency Aliens – SETI: Space Agencies Expansion Review
One of the huge hits from 2025, especially for me (hitting #12 on my Top 50 games of All Time list) was SETI. This game about scouring the solar system for various signs of alien life, all while trying to complete missions and land… Continue Reading “Agency Aliens – SETI: Space Agencies Expansion Review”
Combat Commander Europe – #21 Saint Agatha
Sometimes history repeats itself from game to game, though not always to the same effect. Sometimes you surpass that historical result instead of being pummeled by it again! What am I talking about? Combat Commander, of course. Let me explain, after welcoming you to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Europe – #21 Saint Agatha”
Friday Night Shots – Hidden Information
The title of this post is obviously about hidden information in games and not hidden information about me, because I am an open book! Just…don’t open that door over there, please. And ignore the sounds coming from behind it. Thank you. Anyway, many games… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Hidden Information”
BGG Top Games – 3801 – 3900
As we go deeper into the Boardgame Geek game rankings, it’s almost like going deep, deep underwater. Sometimes there’s something truly beautiful down here, like some full-coloured coral in bloom that is just an amazing sight. And sometimes you get a few rocks. Last… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3801 – 3900”
Keep Quiet or You’re Dead – Final Girl – Don’t Make a Sound Review
The Final Girl series of solo horror games has had a bunch of different kinds of artwork in its various feature films, but they’ve all been similar in some fashion. You can tell they’re be different artists, but you can also tell that they’re… Continue Reading “Keep Quiet or You’re Dead – Final Girl – Don’t Make a Sound Review”
Friday Night Shots – Are We All Required to Like the Same Games?
Taking a break from the Boardgame Geek thread that has been inspiring these posts the last couple of weeks, because I saw something else that sparked a desire to rant a little bit. Not that these posts should be rants, but sometimes they might… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Are We All Required to Like the Same Games?”
BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800
Some of these “top BGG Games” posts are a little lean on games that I’ve played, though I really enjoy that because we can then spend more time talking about games that it would be cool to play! If there are any in that… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800”
Dicing Your Way Through the Galaxy – Tiny Epic Galaxies Review
There’s something cool about games that have small boxes that you can cart around fairly easily, just sticking it in the back of your pack behind huge games like Speakeasy or something. There’s also something cool about jetting through the galaxy, colonizing planets and… Continue Reading “Dicing Your Way Through the Galaxy – Tiny Epic Galaxies Review”
Friday Night Shots – If You Aren’t Playing the Game to Win, Are You Playing the Game?
I mentioned last week that this Boardgame Geek thread about unpopular opinions was going to be a gold mine for Friday Night Shots posts. Lo and behold, here’s a second post! Games are games, with winners and losers. The cogent question this time around… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – If You Aren’t Playing the Game to Win, Are You Playing the Game?”
