New to Me – February 2021

It’s now March and the Cult of the New to Me is getting restless. We’re now close to a year since lockdowns and social distancing became a thing rather than some abstract concept. This past weekend, a year ago, I was coming home from… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2021”

new edition of Spartacus from Gale Force 9 releases on April 17

Who can resist a TV show (or game!) that has bloody arena combat between two (or more) fierce gladiators, where death may come quickly or it may come slowly in quick, debilitating cuts here and there that leave your gladiator struggling to survive? Gale… Continue Reading “new edition of Spartacus from Gale Force 9 releases on April 17”

A nice surprise in my email a couple of days ago came from Bezier Games.

Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #300-291

Wow, I’m lazy. Either that, or I’ve been in a bad mental space. You know, 2021 was supposed to be better, but so far it’s barely been marginally better and that’s only because 2020 sucked so much. I finished the Top 200 BGG games… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #300-291”

Gravwell (2nd Edition) Coming from Renegade Game Studios

One game from 2013 that slipped under my radar (probably because I just really got into gaming in 2012) was Gravwell. The game, designed by Corey Young, looks like an intriguing and quick-playing race game. Yesterday, I received an exciting email from Renegade Game… Continue Reading “Gravwell (2nd Edition) Coming from Renegade Game Studios”

In the Shadows – GMT Games

I’ve posted a few times about games on the P500 list from GMT Games, the system where once pre-orders reach 500 they will be put into the production queue. It’s almost like Kickstarter, except you’re not obligated to pay until the game actually ships,… Continue Reading “In the Shadows – GMT Games”

Circadians: Chaos Order from Garphill Games to Kickstarter in 2021

Make sure you pay attention to that, as the first expansion for it will be using the 2nd edition art and stuff.… Continue Reading “Circadians: Chaos Order from Garphill Games to Kickstarter in 2021”

New to me – January 2021

Ah, 2021. The past year has been dangerous, depressing, disappointing, in some cases despotic, and many other words that begin with “d”. Everybody was so happy to get rid of it, to see it in the rear view mirror, like stopping at a rest… Continue Reading “New to me – January 2021”

Sentinels of the Multiverse Definitive Edition – Kickstarter on March 30

(Edit – 3/30/21 – And it’s now on Kickstarter! No wonder people are coming to this post.) Double post day! Just received this in my email and thought I’d post something on the same day instead of a day later. What’s the news? (oh… Continue Reading “Sentinels of the Multiverse Definitive Edition – Kickstarter on March 30”
