We’re all still enjoying enduring all of this self-isolation. For that reason, a lot of my blog hits have been on apps, mobile, and online gaming. Yet there are still lots of great boardgame-specific things going on, and here’s another post about one of… Continue Reading “Tekhenu – New Picture!”

As we move into April, the self-isolation continues. For some people, that was their normal behaviour anyway, but it’s still hard to be sequestered away from seeing pretty much anybody. I’ve been working from home since March 16 and it’s been quite the adjustment.… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2020”

Here’s hoping that notifications work on the mobile… Continue Reading “Sagrada App – Early Access on Steam – First Look”

Wow, two Smash Up expansion reviews in two weeks? After a months-long hiatus? What can that mean? It means that I’ve been combining new expansions while playing them for review. What, did you think I meant global annihilation or something like that? Let’s save that… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Monster Smash”

(Edit – 12/2/22) – This has now been charged which means it’s going to be shipping this month! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. We may all be stuck at home, either working from home (hopefully) or quarantined (if so, I hope… Continue Reading “Twilight Struggle: Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa – From GMT Games”

It’s been a few months since I’ve done a Smash Up expansion review. Between the Christmas holidays and work stuff getting the way, it’s taken a while to get the required three plays in to review the first of the five new expansions I… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Awesome Level 9000”

We’re a little late with the “New to Me Games” post for February, but there is definitely a good reason. Last week was the Cult of the New to Me fundraising car wash! Unfortunately, the flyers I sent out and put up had the… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2020”

Being on a game company’s mailing list is an interesting thing. It’s cool that a little blog like mine is actually on a list where they send you news and say “this is embargoed until…” a date. It makes me feel important (even though… Continue Reading “Three 2020 Games from Bezier Games”

I should have posted this yesterday, but wanted to get the Dice Tower Con post out and I don’t like to do two major posts in one day. Yesterday morning, the Kickstarter for one of my most anticipated games went live. Viscounts of the… Continue Reading “Viscounts of the West Kingdom now on Kickstarter”
