BGG Top Games – 1201 Through 1300
It’s Friday! Time for another look at 100 games on the Boardgame Geek top rankings. Ok, last week’s was Wednesday, and the week before was Thursday. It hasn’t taken its Metamucil yet. Just go with it, ok? It’s going to be weekly, but not… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1201 Through 1300”
First Impressions – Sanctuary
It’s time for another “first impressions” post about a game that I’ve just played for the first time but which I may not play enough to eventually review. Or maybe it’s just new enough that I want to get my impressions out there and… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Sanctuary”
November 2025 Gaming
I knew November would be much better than October for my gaming, because there’s a really nice 4-day convention in November. I didn’t expect that it would be this much better, though! In November, I managed to play 36 games a total of 57… Continue Reading “November 2025 Gaming”
RIP (Revenge in Peace) – Final Girl – Slaughter in the Groves Review
One of the big horror movie tropes over the last 50 years (going back to Poltergeist, which was the first horror movie I saw, even if it was only PG-13) is the “oh my god, we’re building on/visiting/desecrating some religious space/burial ground/whatever” reason for… Continue Reading “RIP (Revenge in Peace) – Final Girl – Slaughter in the Groves Review”
BGG Top Games – 1101 Through 1200 – Thoughts
Last week’s post talking about some of the games just outside of the Top 1000 on Boardgame Geek seemed to be a big hit. Maybe not in terms of visitors to this site, but with friends of mine, sparking some discussion. In the hopes… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1101 Through 1200 – Thoughts”
Book Review – When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
I’ve been a big fan of John Scalzi’s books for quite a while now, ever since I gloried through Old Man’s War and its many sequels (I’m not even sure I’ve read them all). There was also Redshirts, a book that highlighted those crewmembers… Continue Reading “Book Review – When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi”
Making Everybody Hate You – The Prodigals Club Review
Anybody who has followed this blog for any length of time knows that The Prodigals Club is one of my favourite games. So this review may be a bit superfluous. However, I’ve never really talked in detail about the game, so why don’t we… Continue Reading “Making Everybody Hate You – The Prodigals Club Review”
BGG Top Games – 1000 Through 1100 – Thoughts
Recently the “This Game is Broken” podcast did a “Higher or Lower” game based on games in the Boardgame Geek rankings from 1000 to 2000. (You should really check them out, by the way. Hilarious boardgame podcast) During the Covid lockdowns, in order to… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 1000 Through 1100 – Thoughts”
Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Doomlings-Castle Glass Bolster Pack Review
In a lot of card games where cards just keep getting issued and issued and issued and issued and… Oh, sorry. Thank you for that. Anyway, in a lot of card games that keep getting cards added to them, it’s not always that you… Continue Reading “Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Doomlings-Castle Glass Bolster Pack Review”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 42 – Rumanian Defiance
One of the main rules of Combat Commander is “Anything can happen, so don’t give up.” Obviously the caveat to that is “unless all hope is lost,” but in Combat Commander, that “lost” level is much higher than in many other games. My November… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 42 – Rumanian Defiance”
