September 2025 Gaming

29 - BG Stats - Sept 2025 - Grid

September was a weird month of gaming, mainly because I had a huge number of plays compared to August, but actually fewer games! Part of that was because the final two Sunday game days were dominated by a huge game of Wonderland’s War (details… Continue Reading “September 2025 Gaming”

Real-Time Heroes – 5 Minute Marvel Review

5 Minute Marvel - Green Goblin

I’m not a huge fan of real-time games, mainly because my brain doesn’t make decisions that quickly and thus I often find myself behind everybody else. Cooperative games can be a little different, because everybody’s trying to help each other and you’re not competing… Continue Reading “Real-Time Heroes – 5 Minute Marvel Review”

Stop Stealing My Stuff! – Cover Your Assets review

Cover Your Assets - Cards

Some people don’t like “take that” games, where you are actively trying to harm your opponent (not literally, of course, unless you’re playing a game in some action movie against a mad villain who has made this a kill or be killed situation).

First Impressions – Galactic Cruise

Galactic Cruise - Cruises

This is another “first impressions” post about a new game, a game that I’m not sure I will get three plays of but yet one I want to talk about. As I said in my Friday Night Shots post about first impressions, this is… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Galactic Cruise”

New to Me – August 2025

Shackleton Base - Crater

I love playing games that are new, even more when they’re older but still new to me! You know what I love even more? Having reviewed a bunch of them already so I don’t have to try and condense a description of them for… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2025”

Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario C – Ichiki Attacks

CCP - C - Setup

Have you ever played a game where the worst mistake you made in the game was 2-3 days before you played it? Now I have!

August 2025 Gaming

28 - BG Stats - Aug 2025 - Grid

It’s nice when a month of gaming comes together in unexpected ways is better than you expected it to be. I was surprised by July’s gaming numbers, considering I was off. August came around and I was going to be missing one Sunday due… Continue Reading “August 2025 Gaming”

Witch One Will You Convict? – Witchcraft! Review

Witchcraft - Witch Cards

Solo games make a great thing to do when you’re working at home and want to take a lunch break to enjoy some games.
