Terraforming Mars: The Legacy of Mars – Coming to Gamefound
Two posts in one day, but when I become aware of something (or in this case, become aware that a link is live even though I knew it was coming before), that’s news! This may be a day or two old, I’m not sure,… Continue Reading “Terraforming Mars: The Legacy of Mars – Coming to Gamefound”
Why Do We Play Games?
I enjoyed board and war games as a kid, though I obviously didn’t think a lot about them. There was, of course, Monopoly and Candyland and all of that childhood trash that we look back on and say “did we really play that?” As… Continue Reading “Why Do We Play Games?”
Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review
I want to say that the Alpine expansion for Forest Shuffle was the first one, but I’m not 100% sure. That one (as I mentioned in my review) helped by adding a few different cards that mitigated some other favoured strategies in the base… Continue Reading “Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review”
He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review
Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the few horror movies I could really stomach as a teenager (I’m not really a fan of horror movies, especially with jump scares and the like). There was just something about Freddy Krueger that was cool, plus… Continue Reading “He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review”
Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review
(100,000 bonus points for anybody who gets the (kind of) movie reference in the title) I’ve been a fan of Forest Shuffle for quite a while, as you can tell from reading my review. This wonderful tableau-building game never really gets old and plays… Continue Reading “Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M8 – Closing Outer Camp
Some months the luck gods strike you down, and some months the luck gods…well, don’t. They still needle you some, but maybe they decide to strike somebody else down instead? That’s Combat Commander in a nutshell! Yes, it’s time for another adventure from the… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario M8 – Closing Outer Camp”
Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review
One of the really common things about our Sunday game days, unless we are playing a couple of really deep games that take too much time, is to have 30-45 minutes left after the main game and then trying to decide if we should… Continue Reading “Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review”
New to Me – September 2025
I love months where I play a bunch of games that I have no experience with. September gaming was great for the number of plays, but even better for the new to me games that I got to play! I especially love it when… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2025”
September 2025 Gaming
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
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”
