BGG Top Games – 4801 – 4900
Even closer to 5000 on the Boardgame Geek ranking system, the pickings of played games are getting slim! Not so slim that it would keep me from doing another in this series of posts, because it’s so goddamned fun to talk about games, both… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4801 – 4900”
Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – Games That Intimidate You
I was going to leave my Friday post to be the Tag Team review that posted yesterday. Then I was reading something tonight while eating dinner (I can’t even remember what prompted it, so it must have been stewing a bit in my subconscious)… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – Games That Intimidate You”
Back to Video Game Fighting – Tag Team Review
There have been a few “auto-battler” card games out in the last few years, most notably Challengers (which is a huge multiplayer tournament romp if you do it right). What is an auto-battler? It’s when you have a deck of cards shuffled, and you… Continue Reading “Back to Video Game Fighting – Tag Team Review”
BGG Top Games – 4701 – 4800
We’re getting close to the 5000 mark on this look at centuries of Boardgame Geek game rankings, and one thing is becoming clear: I haven’t played a lot of these as we get deeper! Last week was a bit of a return to form… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4701 – 4800”
Combat Commander Pacific – After Action Report – Scenario F – Stalemate
Sometimes when you’re playing one of the most fun games on the planet (a slight exaggeration, but not much!), things just happen in a way that doesn’t benefit you. It’s not exactly random chance, because often the luck evens out during the course of… Continue Reading “Combat Commander Pacific – After Action Report – Scenario F – Stalemate”
Elevating Card Play – Up or Down Review
Relatively quick card games are my bread and butter on work lunches, though of course we also make time for some other shorter games (like Cascadia). One game that was not on my radar at all until I saw the Boardgame Geek GameNight! crew… Continue Reading “Elevating Card Play – Up or Down Review”
BGG Top Games – 4601-4700
After a week where I literally had not played any of the games in the Boardgame Geek century I was talking about, this week is going to be huge! Well, maybe not huge, but we’re back to at least a few. That will probably… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4601-4700”
Garphill Games News – New East Empire Game! And Paladins Stuff
Double post day today, but I didn’t remember that the Garphill Games announcement Youtube was going live today. There was some really exciting news in this one, especially the new East Empire game! There are some other announcements, like a couple of card games,… Continue Reading “Garphill Games News – New East Empire Game! And Paladins Stuff”
Dinos Dinos Everywhere! – Final Girl – The Raptor Games Review
We are now down to it. The final Final Girl feature film left for me to play, though I do have three vignettes to play. Series 4 is now over with the release of The Raptor Games, a film where you are on an… Continue Reading “Dinos Dinos Everywhere! – Final Girl – The Raptor Games Review”
Friday Night Shots – The Art of the Pass
Last week, I talked about people intentionally breaking a game by doing something that doesn’t change the game state. In the post, I referenced everybody in a game of Terraforming Mars just passing as their first action, which doesn’t do anything to make the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – The Art of the Pass”
