Dragonflight 2023 Retrospective

Dragonflight was my first convention ever, back in 2015 (I think). It’s held at the same hotel in Bellevue, Washington, as OrcaCon is held (though the hotel rooms are a lot more expensive, being in the Summer instead of January like OrcaCon). Thus, it… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2023 Retrospective”

Friday Night Shots – Update & Topic Ideas?

Hey there! Welcome back. It’s been a couple of weeks. Sorry about all of that. Belly up to the bar and let’s chat a bit. It’s also been a while since I posted anything at all, actually.

Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #33 – We Go!

(Edit: 8/3023) – The video is live!!! (The exclamation mark is in the scenario title, not meaning that I’m very excited about this scenario…though actually it is quite good!) Two After Action Reports in quick succession, which can happen when one is really late… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #33 – We Go!”

Friday Night Shots – Tiebreakers

Hey there! It’s another Friday, and it’s time to belly up to the bar, have a drink (whatever you like), and chat a little bit about board games. Don’t mind the music. I’ll turn it down. Steely Dan is so good that it can… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Tiebreakers”

New to Me – July 2023

July was yet another weird month for games, as I explained in last week’s “games played” post (sorry this one took so long after that). Even with that, I was able to get six new to me games to the table. Granted, three were… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2023”

Dire Wolf Digital Going App Crazy With Announcements

(Edit: 10/5/23) – Finally, the last design diary! I think. Nope, there are 1-2 more coming. Paul Dennen reveals how Contracts work and it looks like a major boost to the beginning of the game, at least in trying to get money. You can… Continue Reading “Dire Wolf Digital Going App Crazy With Announcements”

Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #20 – A March in December

Wow, this is really late. I mean, really late. Yes, this is my report for July’s ladder game. Almost a week into August! Not only that, but I am probably playing my August game next weekend. I’d better get on this! Anyway, welcome to… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #20 – A March in December”

Friday Night Shots – Who’s First Player?

Welcome back! It wouldn’t be a Friday night without seeing you here. I hope your week has gone well and, if you’re like I am, looking forward to a long weekend. Grab a seat, and let’s chat about “first player rules”! This will probably… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Who’s First Player?”

Colossal Cat in the Box From Bezier Games Coming to Kickstarter – August 29

(Edit: 8/29/23:) – It’s live! And it’s $81 CDN before shipping. Something to think about… Exciting news for trick-taking fans everywhere, especially those of the quantum trick-taking game Cat in the Box. I like to think that Bezier Games decided to release this now… Continue Reading “Colossal Cat in the Box From Bezier Games Coming to Kickstarter – August 29”

July 2023 Gaming

July was an interesting month for gaming, mainly because I had no idea what kind of gaming I would get in. I was off the entire month of July, so there wouldn’t be any lunch time work games. However, there were no Sunday holidays… Continue Reading “July 2023 Gaming”
