BGG Top Games – 2301-2400
Each week when I do these BGG Top Games posts, I comment about how things are getting a little thin down here in the 2000s. It’s like you’re scuba diving and suddenly your air tank is reading as near empty and you don’t know… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2301-2400”
Cuddle Bears of Death – Final Girl – Bad Times at Buddyland Review
Many of us have been to those amusement places like Chuck E. Cheese or Showbiz Pizza (that’s what they were called when I was a kid), where you have your video games, you have your dining areas where rambunctious kids are running around, throwing… Continue Reading “Cuddle Bears of Death – Final Girl – Bad Times at Buddyland Review”
Noisy Mummies – Clank: The Mummy’s Curse App Expansion Review
One of the best things a game expansion can do is to add some cool new stuff to the game, maybe something different but still fun to explore, and then get out of the way. Don’t change the mechanics greatly. Maybe the stuff you… Continue Reading “Noisy Mummies – Clank: The Mummy’s Curse App Expansion Review”
BGG Top Games – 2201 – 2300
As we get further and further down the BGG rankings, the pickings are becoming increasingly slim. But it’s also made me think a little bit, considering some of the games that show up in each century. I know, thinking is dangerous, especially for me.… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2201 – 2300”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026
Has it been a year already since last year’s Terminal City convention? Why yes, yes it has. This year’s event was still down at the Vancouver Convention Centre on the waterfront, but it changed buildings to a much larger room. This convention-goer approves of… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2026”
Champions of Midgard Coming “Soon” to Steam
Just a quick post to tide you over until I get my Terminal City Tabletop Convention post done (there was a lot of gaming!) I didn’t have time to post this last week, but I received an email from Grey Fox Games announcing that… Continue Reading “Champions of Midgard Coming “Soon” to Steam”
BGG Top Games – 2101 – 2200
It’s been a short hiatus for these posts since I’ve had end of month stuff to do, but after a couple of weeks, we are back! Once again we are going through a century of games rated on Boardgame Geek, from 2101 to 2200.… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2101 – 2200”
New to Me – February 2026
February was a slow month for new to me games, even with two days of a three-day convention. Of course, fighting illness off and then actually not playing anything new for the February days of that convention would have something to do with that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2026”
Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario 89 – Beneath a Steel Sky
Fresh off of finally playing Combat Commander on the table last Saturday, it was still nice to play an online game with one of my friends from the Combat Commander ladder. It felt like a warm glove, familiar and practical, even though I was… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario 89 – Beneath a Steel Sky”
Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective
Rob Bottos is a great guy. Not only is he kind and really interesting to talk to, but he also looks after his fellow gamers. He’s run the regular Bottoscon in New Westminster since 2007 (with one year’s break due to COVID) and it’s… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Winter 2026 Retrospective”
