App Review – Viticulture
Viticulture is a great game about running a vineyard. Please note: it’s running a vineyard, not necessarily making wine (though there is plenty of that too).

(Edit: Peter has graciously corrected a couple of things. Rather than mention them here, I’ll note the edit in each spot. I apologize for the errors. Thanks, Peter!) Mike Fitzgerald knows card games. My first exposure to his work was the brilliant trick-taking game Diamonds,… Continue Reading “App Review – Football Highlights 2052”

Boardgame Geek Top 100 – Played or Play? 70-61
It’s week 4 of my weekly look at the Boardgame Geek Top 100 games to see how many I’ve played and how many I even want to play. It’s a rather blah week, for a lot of reasons, but also just because there aren’t… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 100 – Played or Play? 70-61”
