Thunder Alley – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts, mainly because I ran out some of the samples, so much so that I needed a tray infusion. No, not that kind of infusion. This is another Cube4Me storage tray set that I… Continue Reading “Thunder Alley – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards”

Expansion Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Discovery & Foundations

When Stronghold Games announced that one of my favourite games, Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition was getting not one, but three expansions, I was pretty excited. And judging from the hits on that post I just linked, you were too! My friend who owns that… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Discovery & Foundations”

Terraforming Mars – Prelude 2 Expansion Coming to Kickstarter Soon

(Edit: 9/4/23) – Rather than edit this post with a bunch of stuff, check out the announcement that the Kickstarter opens on September 5…and there is a lot of stuff! (Edit 8/30/23) – While the campaign is not live, it’s up on Kickstarter so… Continue Reading “Terraforming Mars – Prelude 2 Expansion Coming to Kickstarter Soon”

Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Cyber Station 11

Finally, my set is complete! Clank in Space is always near the top of my games played. I just love the deckbuilding aspects, how the board works, and how you can end the game without any points. Ok, I don’t love that last part,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Cyber Station 11”

Friday Night Shots – Asymmetry in Games

We’re back to Canadian Club after some Crown Royal over the last week or two. That’s not bad, of course. It’s a mainstay! But maybe that’s why I’m thinking about asymmetry in boardgames for this Friday Night Shot. Or maybe not. Actually, the reason… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Asymmetry in Games”

New to Me – April 2023

As mentioned in my April Gaming post, April was not a banner month for games. Too much time off and missing a regular game day really sank that. It also affected my “new to me” games because I only got two of them played!… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2023”

Space Base: Genesis Coming…Soon From Alderac Entertainment Group

Two posts in one day! But having seen this, I had to post it as soon as possible. I saw a tweet from Alderac Entertainment Group over the weekend (it was from Friday but I didn’t see it!) announcing a new Space Base expansion… Continue Reading “Space Base: Genesis Coming…Soon From Alderac Entertainment Group”

April 2023 Gaming

After a robust March of gaming, April took a bit of a downturn. The lack of a convention along with missing a Sunday game day and being off for a week so there were no lunch time games that week, all of that combined… Continue Reading “April 2023 Gaming”

Friday Night Shots – How Do You Learn a Game?

We’ve come a long way in this hobby (especially wargames, since that’s what I used to play in my youth) since the days where there were very few games coming out each year so everybody who was interested in gaming actually was playing those… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Do You Learn a Game?”

Shards of Infinity: Saga Collection Coming Soon from Stone Blade

(Edit: 7/12/23) – The campaign went live a couple of days ago and I’m unenthused. This is a great purchase for anybody who doesn’t already have the game. The game is great and you should definitely check it out! But if you’ve bought everything… Continue Reading “Shards of Infinity: Saga Collection Coming Soon from Stone Blade”
