New to Me – August 2024
July was not a great month for new to me games, but I had a feeling that August would make up for it, with a convention going on and everything. And it did! August was great for new to me games, with seven of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2024”
August 2024 Gaming
It’s funny how sometimes month end can sneak up on you. I was going to hold off on writing this post for a bit, until the weekend. Then I realized that my next game day is actually in September! Who would’ve thunk that? Not… Continue Reading “August 2024 Gaming”
The Apocalypse Will be in Technicolor
Post-apocalyptic games are all the rage, and Radlands is yet another entry into the increasingly-crowded genre. The question becomes, is it worthy of recognition in that genre and beyond? Radlands is a 2-player battling card game designed by Daniel Piechnick with artwork by Delia… Continue Reading “The Apocalypse Will be in Technicolor”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 28 – No Ingouf Around
Pardon me if you’ve seen this before. Yes, the August scenario for our Combat Commander ladder tournament is a scenario that I’ve already played twice now. I’ve even written up one of them.

Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective

Thankfully,… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2024 Retrospective”

Evolving to the End of the World
There’s something to be said for cute, family-weight games. Sure, they aren’t always super-exciting, exercising your brain in the way that may keep it active until you’re 100 like some of the heavier games might. But they’re cute! Doomlings is definitely the cute, family-weight… Continue Reading “Evolving to the End of the World”
New to Me – July 2024
I knew July would be a bit of an off month for gaming, but it wasn’t too bad. However, it didn’t really hit the “new to me games” jackpot, with only three of them to write about. Funny how it’s still taken me longer… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2024”
July 2024 Gaming
It’s hard going back to work after a month off. It’s been a really tiring week, so much so that I will not be posting my “new to me” games post until at least the weekend. But I did want to get my July… Continue Reading “July 2024 Gaming”
Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire
Reading the description of Ezra & Nehemiah when it first hit Kickstarter, I was intrigued. If you read this blog for more than just one or two posts, you know I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and the games designed by Shem Phillips… Continue Reading “Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire”
