Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?

Civolution - Box (new game by Stefan Feld)

It’s been a month and the bar’s been closed! More renovations needed (and I’m just lazy, actually), but I’m glad you happened by and could stop in! The jukebox renovations took up most of the month, partially because I kept forgetting to pay the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – What Attracts You to a Game?”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M5 – Blind Man’s Bluff

I have been having a horrible streak of luck and bad play in my monthly Combat Commander ladder games, with a three-month losing streak going into my October game! That is not good, and shall not stand! Or maybe it did. I guess you’ll… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M5 – Blind Man’s Bluff”

New to Me – September 2024

Inventors of the South Tigris - River & Research

This post has been a bit delayed, for reasons. Some of those reasons were me killing a whole bunch of Greek soldiers in Ancient Egypt in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which is super-addicting right now. The game, not the killing. I’m fighting for Cleopatra! Or… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2024”

September 2024 Gaming

Rock Hard 1977 - Board

September was a weird month for gaming, mainly because we didn’t play a lot at work because various people were away (or we just were so exhausted due to work stuff that we just wanted to hibernate at lunch). Thus, most (but not all)… Continue Reading “September 2024 Gaming”

Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll

Rock Hard 1977 - box

In the 70s, I wonder how many kids wanted to grow up to be rock stars. I wasn’t one of them. While I am a child of the 70s, I wasn’t really listening to much rock music when I was growing up. My parents… Continue Reading “Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario G – Bitter Creek

One of the really cool things about the monthly Combat Commander ladder is meeting new opponents and then trying to wipe the floor with them. The latter part doesn’t happen very often, unfortunately. While Combat Commander: Europe is my favourite, I do enjoy (and… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario G – Bitter Creek”

Is Evolution a Thing or is it All Imaginary? – Doomlings: Imaginary Ends Review

Doomlings - Imaginary Ends box

What do you do when you’re really trying to evolve but you’re just not sure if you’re doing it right? Maybe all of the evolution that you think is happening is all in your head? That’s where the Doomlings: Imaginary Ends expansion for the… Continue Reading “Is Evolution a Thing or is it All Imaginary? – Doomlings: Imaginary Ends Review”

Upgrading is Evolutional – Doomlings Upgrade Pack Review

There’s nothing I enjoy quite like a nice lunchtime card game with co-workers to unwind after a long morning, not to mention resting up for a stressful afternoon. Especially when there’s a bunch of Work that’s making the Day so chaotic! Doomlings was a… Continue Reading “Upgrading is Evolutional – Doomlings Upgrade Pack Review”

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

Commands & Colors - Medieval

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”
