Friday Night Shots – Filler Games

The Gang - Flop

Welcome back to the bar! It’s been a whole five weeks, so sorry about that. One of the kegs exploded and we had beer all over the floor. Spent a number of weeks trying to save as much as possible rather than cleaning it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Filler Games”

Evolution is Legendary! – Doomlings: Legends of Enderas review

Doomlings - Flavour Text

One of the very cool games that came out in 2022 was a neat little card game called Doomlings. This is a game where each player represents a doomling civilization on some distant planet (or is it an alternate Earth? Only Kang can know… Continue Reading “Evolution is Legendary! – Doomlings: Legends of Enderas review”

New to Me – April 2025

Bus - Map

While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”

April 2025 Gaming

BG Stats - Games Played - April 2025 Grid

As expected after last month’s post, where March had a huge number of games because of a convention, April came back down to earth with a much fewer amount of games. However, it was much better than February! Which means it was a good… Continue Reading “April 2025 Gaming”

Striking From the Dark – In the Shadows Review

In the Shadows - Map

Seldom has a game become so relevant to modern times between conception and final production as In the Shadows – Resistance in France 1943-44 has become (I’m assuming it’s been in the planning stages for numerous years, anyway). This game is a 2-player, 45-60… Continue Reading “Striking From the Dark – In the Shadows Review”

New to Me – March 2025 – Part 2

Living Forest - Fires

Wow, it has been a spell, hasn’t it? With so many new to me games in March, I broke the usual monthly post into two posts, thinking I’d get them done a few days a part. Yeah, I think I got into one of… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2025 – Part 2”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato

Combat Commander Leader of Men - 11 - Setup

Combat Commander can be a game of wild swings of luck, back and forth so much that it might make you dizzy (and make bad decisions). Sometimes, though, there is just one swing. You know how, when you were a kid, sometimes your dad… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato”

Clank! – Sunken Treasures Coming to Digital This Summer

Clank - Sunken Treasures - Screenshot

(Edit 5/15/25): The release date (on Steam at least) has been announced as May 21! I’ve asked whether that includes iOS and Android but haven’t heard back Or at least that’s what “Quarter 2 2025” means to me! Don’t quote me on the exact… Continue Reading “Clank! – Sunken Treasures Coming to Digital This Summer”

Exploring the Underworld – Faraway: People From Below review

Faraway - People From Below - Card 76

Some expansions for games make huge changes to it, maybe fixing something from the base game or giving new avenues to win the game. Maybe the Mask strategy is really weak and this expansion makes it stronger? Some expansions just add a bit more… Continue Reading “Exploring the Underworld – Faraway: People From Below review”

Friday Night Shots – A Quick & Dirty Top 50

Rock Hard 1977 - Board

Welcome back to the bar! Last month, I mentioned how this is almost becoming a monthly thing instead of a weekly thing. That was…one month ago. I guess it is! Welcome to the finest bar in the city, because it’s so clean. It certainly… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – A Quick & Dirty Top 50”
