Friday Night Shots – Boardgame Arena
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Dave, you really shouldn’t wear green because it really makes you look hideous.” And I would agree with that! You’re also thinking “Dave, what’s this? Two Friday Night Shots posts in a row? What’s gotten into you?”… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Boardgame Arena”
Who the Heck is Ix? – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: the Rise of Ix
If you’re a boardgamer and you haven’t heard of Dune: Imperium, what rock have you been hiding under? I know that Boardgame Geek is not the end-all and be-all of board games, the game itself is currently ranked 6th and the new “version” of… Continue Reading “Who the Heck is Ix? – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: the Rise of Ix”
Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review
Tableau-building card games are becoming all the rage. Or maybe they’ve been the rage and I just never noticed? (Editor: “Doesn’t say much for your observational skills, does it?”) One thing I haven’t seen much of, however, are tableau-building games where you are combining… Continue Reading “Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review”
Friday Night Shots – Patreon
Welcome back to the bar! It’s been a month, but I’m happy to welcome you back. It’s always nice to get just a little bit of income from it, since nobody else really comes in here. Other than Bob in the back, who’s sharing… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Patreon”

(1/14/25: This issue appears to have been fixed! A while back, actually, in December. Sorry for being late to report that. Not that anybody’s looking at this review anyway…) (11/28/24: It appears that Clank is suffering from the same asynchronous multiplayer problem that Dune:… Continue Reading “Delving the Virtual Depths – Clank app review”
New Garphill Games Kickstarter – Cards! And Other Things
(Edit: It appears that the promos in the 5-Year Anniversary Pack for Shipwrights of the North Sea are direct reprints and not compatible with Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux. Still, it’s only 9 cards and the rest of the promos in that batch… Continue Reading “New Garphill Games Kickstarter – Cards! And Other Things”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 38 – Not One Step Back
It’s that time of the month again! Time for another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the best games out there that’s run by the renowned Patrick Pence, he of Patrick’s Tactics & Tutorials fame (and formerly of… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 38 – Not One Step Back”
Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective
Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”
Talisman 5th Edition – App Review
I’ve always enjoyed the Talisman app from Nomad Games. They’ve done a brilliant job not only bringing this game to computers and mobile devices, but also including all of the expansions for it, including a digital-only expansion! The game of Talisman itself is a… Continue Reading “Talisman 5th Edition – App Review”
New to Me – October 2024
As I mentioned the other day, October as a month really sucked, especially for gaming. Being sick, missing three game days, I was totally surprised that I actually managed to play any new to me games! Much less three. I even managed to placate… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2024”
