It’s Friday, so you know what time it is, right? The whiskey along with me looking at Boardgame Geek is making me think about Big Boxes and Collectors boxes and games, which makes for a perfect Friday Night Shots post. Are they worth it?… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Big Boxes, Are They Worth It?”
It’s weird, but I feel funny not having posted about a GMT game in almost 6 days. But here I go again! It’s time for another adventure from the Combat Commander ladder. The ladder is a monthly tournament run by the supreme Patrick Pence,… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario LoM #8 – Codes in the Sunrise”
(Edit: 4/18/23) This was not announced in this month’s newsletter, so I’m assuming it will be in the May one. Interesting that it’s already on BGG and a blogger is talking about it, though (not me, the blogger that GMT RT’d) Lots of GMT… Continue Reading “Twilight Struggle: South Asian Monsoon Coming From GMT in 2024”
Even though I haven’t been able to get it to the table for quite a long time, GMT’s Time of Crisis (designed by Brad Johnson and Wray Ferrell) is still one of my favourite games. I was just browsing Boardgame Geek this morning when… Continue Reading “Time of Crisis from GMT Getting a Deluxe Edition & Mini-Expansion”

I’m a big fan of the Firefly game from Gale Force Nine, though… Continue Reading “Firefly – 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Coming from Gale Force Nine”
If you’ve read this blog for more than five minutes, then you know that I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and especially the West Kingdom trilogy of games. I’ve reviewed two of them (Architects of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of the West… Continue Reading “Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
March was a good month for gaming, with a convention and numerous lunch time plays at work as well as some hefty Sunday game days as well. As noted in my March gaming post, I played 21 games! Seven of them were even new… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2023”
March was definitely a great month of gaming. I managed to play 21 games (32 plays) in 31 days! And 15 days worth of gaming is always good. Fifteen out of thirty-one? Woo! Many thanks to Boardgame Stats for the wonderful app that lets… Continue Reading “March 2023 Gaming”
