Friday Night Shots – Some Assembly Required! (Shipyard)
Happy Friday! Apologies for the long lull in posting on here. It’s been a month…and in addition I’ve had a healthy dose of Imposter Syndrome which has kept me from writing much. If you have any suggestions on how to beat that, I’d love… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Some Assembly Required! (Shipyard)”
Review – Empire’s End
I would make a bad emperor, I think. I’m not the quickest of thinkers, and when disasters happen (as they always seem to), sometimes you have to be quick on your feet, dealing with the situation at a moment’s notice. The perks would be… Continue Reading “Review – Empire’s End”
Combat Commander After Action Report Supplemental No. 4 – Scenario 89 – Beneath a Steel Sky
Since my May Combat Commander ladder game isn’t until later this month, I thought I would share a previous supplemental adventure that I had back in February with a member of the ladder. The March ladder scenario is always taken from the Sea Lion… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report Supplemental No. 4 – Scenario 89 – Beneath a Steel Sky”
April 2024 Gaming
After a really full March, where it seemed like I played one game a day (ok, that’s only if you average it out, but still), April was a wasteland for gaming, sadly. Missing two Sundays, not as many games during lunch at work (if… Continue Reading “April 2024 Gaming”
New to Me – April 2024
After a March that was a literal cornucopia of new games (yes, literal, they were all about fruit and veggies!), April was a really hard month for new to me games (and games in general, but that’s tomorrow’s post). Until last Sunday, I only… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2024”
Friday Night Shots – Reviews vs First Impressions
It’s a Friday night and the rain has stopped! Until overnight, then it’s supposed to rain all weekend. Welcome to Vancouver! Thanks for coming into the bar, even with the Canucks game on. Sorry, I don’t have a TV. Just a jukebox that plays… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Reviews vs First Impressions”
Review – Villages of Valeria
There’s a certain attraction to families of games out there, though it’s funny how there aren’t as many as you would think there are. When I say “families,” I’m speaking of games that are based in the same universe, though the mechanics and style… Continue Reading “Review – Villages of Valeria”
Kickstarter Review – Like Cain and Abel
I like card games a lot. Short, punchy 2-player card games are even better, as you don’t need a lot of time and they work in almost any circumstance. Even better is when they do some innovative things with the whole genre. Like Cain… Continue Reading “Kickstarter Review – Like Cain and Abel”
Friday Night Shots – Update and Rules Mistakes
Welcome back! I know it’s been a little while since my last post, and that was after me saying how proud I was that I haven’t had more than a week in between posts in a long time. Then I go and let 10… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Update and Rules Mistakes”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #12 – Red Sector A
What’s this? Two months in a row where I actually do my Combat Commander ladder game report early? That’s unheard of! There must be something in the water. It’s time for another tale from the ladder! The ladder is a Combat Commander monthly tournament… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #12 – Red Sector A”
