So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review
I’ve never seen the classic Hitchcock thriller, The Birds, but I’m very familiar with the trope! Some birds are just creepy. They sit and watch you. Crows can recognize you, which can be good or bad depending on whether you’re a good person or… Continue Reading “So Many Birds! – Final Girl – Terror From Above Review”
BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100
We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”
Kids’ Play Time Can Be Weird – Fort Review
Boardgames have had many themes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where the theme is the rise and fall of friendships when you were a kid. Not to mention playing around the neighbourhood, building a tree fort, and just passing the… Continue Reading “Kids’ Play Time Can Be Weird – Fort Review”
Book Review – A Death in Berlin by Simon Scarrow
Since I did a “book series you should read” post about the first two books in Simon Scarrow’s “Criminal Inspector Schenke” series, I should probably review the third book now that it’s out and I’ve read it. Right? The third book, A Death in… Continue Reading “Book Review – A Death in Berlin by Simon Scarrow”

The reason for this updated post is that I completely missed talking about two games that… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1901 Through 2000 – Supplementary Edition”
BGG Top Games – 1901 Through 2000
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve done one of these BGG centuries posts, though not because I was getting tired of them. There were just more important things to post about! I enjoy writing these BGG posts, even when the games are… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1901 Through 2000”
Grandma’s Getting a Little Hairier – Final Girl – Once Upon a Full Moon Review
You all know the story. Little girl goes to visit Grandma, who for some strange reason lives alone in the woods. Is she the Unabomber? Is she posting manifestos on Facebook? Anyway, little girl arrives at Grandma’s house and lo and behold, Grandma forgot… Continue Reading “Grandma’s Getting a Little Hairier – Final Girl – Once Upon a Full Moon Review”
New to Me – January 2026
January 2026 wasn’t a huge month for new to me games, though the ones I did play were very fun. That may change in February, though, since a friend of mine has bought a few games I’ve never played, so we’ll get some of… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2026”
Sandy Tableaus – Santa Monica Review
Being from the Midwest and now living in the rainy Pacific Northwest, one thing I haven’t really had much of a chance to do is walk the sandy ocean beaches on the Pacific Ocean. Yes, the Oregon Coast is amazing, but where we’ve gone… Continue Reading “Sandy Tableaus – Santa Monica Review”
Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario 80 – Bitter Isthmus
Sometimes when you’re playing Combat Commander, you’re locked into a 3-hour epic battle where both players are totally overcome with fatigue, but you’ve reached a satisfying conclusion so it was all worth it. And sometimes things progress so fast that you’d think the game… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario 80 – Bitter Isthmus”
