New to Me – June 2020
It was a month of horror in the Dude Take Your Turn household in June. Not because of anything bad, and certainly nothing virus-related. It’s just that 2 of the 4 new games played this month have to do with Ancient Evils trying destroy… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2020”

During these plague-filled times of dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic and all of the life changes that it has involved, I’ve been lucky. And I know it. My wife and I both still have our jobs and while I’ve been working from home since… Continue Reading “GMT Gives Free Games for COVID Job Loss”
Boardgame Geek Top 100 – Played or Play? 50-41
It’s another week and another look at the BGG Top 100 games and which ones I’ve played (or may want to play).
