Review – Furnace
There’s something about chains in games that is just so cool, even though they burn my brain sometimes. I’m not talking about actual chains, of course. That would be terrible. Unless you’re into that sort of thing, in which case who am I to… Continue Reading “Review – Furnace”
First Impressions – Harmonies
Welcome to the first in a periodic series of posts where I give my first impressions on a game that I don’t think I’m going to end up playing enough to actually write a review for it. I broached this subject in a previous… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Harmonies”
Friday Night Shots – Box Size Preference – Room for Expansions?
Yes, the bar is still open! It’s just been under renovations for the last…month, I guess. Hopefully they’ve fixed that jukebox so that it stops playing shitty music. Anyway, welcome back! I’m happy to have you stop by, have a drink, and talk a… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Box Size Preference – Room for Expansions?”
Fantastic Factories – Storage Solution from Folded Space
There’s just something about a really neat storage solution for games. Sure, baggies are fine, and you can just turn the box upside down and drop a bunch of baggies onto the table for everybody to sort out. They work…ok. And it’s not the… Continue Reading “Fantastic Factories – Storage Solution from Folded Space”

May seemed like a really dead month for gaming. Hell, we missed out on two Sunday game days (Mother’s Day and a marathon the week before) so I thought it was going to be almost as bad as April. When I looked at my… Continue Reading “May 2024 Gaming”
New to Me – May 2024
May was a weird month for gaming. Tomorrow (or Monday) I’ll be talking about the month in general, but as for new to me games, there was only one! Which is annoying and that’s why I’m going to talk about a couple of new… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2024”
Review – Claim
Two-player trick-taking games are odd ducks. I mean, not Cobra Chicken odd ducks. Nothing compares to them. But they are odd in their own way. They always have to have some kind of neat twist because otherwise it’s just two players laying down cards… Continue Reading “Review – Claim”
Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria – Storage Solution from Folded Space
It’s been a little while since I raved about the virtues of Folded Space boardgame inserts! I bought three of them at the same time back in December, but then only assembled the Guild Academies of Valeria one. However, I’ve now put together the… Continue Reading “Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 104 – Go For Broke
It’s been three years. Three years since I watched a bunch of videos about this wargmaming tournament with monthly games against different opponents each month, each featuring a scenario from various expansions and battle packs which will keep the variety going. Yes, it’s been… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 104 – Go For Broke”
