Highlights from the December GMT Update
Every month, GMT Games reliably send out an update on what they’re doing, which P500 orders are being charged and sent out, new P500 order opportunities, and just basically a “what’s going on at GMT Games” kind of update post. I don’t always do… Continue Reading “Highlights from the December GMT Update”
Friday Night Shots – Catch Up Mechanisms
It’s the last Friday before Christmas and all through the malls, too many creatures were stirring, so much so that I would rather carve Shem Phillips’ initials into my hand with a penknife than go shopping. I think that’s how that old Christmas poem… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Catch Up Mechanisms”
Review – Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria
Who knew being evil could be so much fun? There aren’t a whole lot of boardgames where you are playing the bad guy (unless you’re in a one vs many game). A well-respected one that I’d love to play sometime is Dungeon Lords from… Continue Reading “Review – Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria”
App Expansion Review – Wingspan: Oceania
Did you know that birds aren’t real? But for some reason, game designer Elizabeth Hargrave continues to try and convince us that they are! In 2020, Hargrave and publisher Stonemaier Games released the second expansion to the excellent Wingspan game, still one of my… Continue Reading “App Expansion Review – Wingspan: Oceania”
Review – Scholars of the South Tigris
If you’ve been following this blog for more than a fortnight, then you know that I’m a big fan of many Garphill games, especially those designed by Shem Phillips and S J MacDonald. They seem to be a fan of trilogies, with the North… Continue Reading “Review – Scholars of the South Tigris”
App Review – Early Access – Dune: Imperium
(Edit: 3/12/24) – It’s out of Early Access, and available on iOS/Android as well! One of the biggest games of 2020, hitting during the pandemic lockdowns but still going strong, was Dune: Imperium from Dire Wolf Digital. It was just phenomenally well-received, so much… Continue Reading “App Review – Early Access – Dune: Imperium”
Friday Night Shots – Playing the BGG Top 100 Games
It’s hard to believe there is only one more week (and a couple of days) to Christmas. So it really matters to me that you’ve decided to spend a little of your hard-earned time on this little old blog. Sorry the posting has been… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Playing the BGG Top 100 Games”
The Last Hundred Yards – Russian Front – Storage Solution With Rails on Board
There’s just something about the simplicity of the plastic tray solutions provided by Rails on Board/Cube4Me. Something that’s really attractive. I think it’s the ability to nest trays together so you only need one lid, as long as the counters you are storing in… Continue Reading “The Last Hundred Yards – Russian Front – Storage Solution With Rails on Board”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 55 – Graveyard of the North Shores
What is this? It’s the first half of the month and I’m already doing my monthly Combat Commander ladder report? Isn’t it usually just squeezing it in on the last day? No! Not this month. Merry Christmas. And welcome to another tale of boardgaming… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 55 – Graveyard of the North Shores”
Friday Night Shots – Drafting Games
It’s been a week since my last post. And wow, what a week. Ok, it wasn’t that bad, but I just needed a bit of a recharge and decided not to think too much about writing this week. More stuff coming next week, definitely.… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Drafting Games”
