BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800
Some of these “top BGG Games” posts are a little lean on games that I’ve played, though I really enjoy that because we can then spend more time talking about games that it would be cool to play! If there are any in that… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800”
Dicing Your Way Through the Galaxy – Tiny Epic Galaxies Review
There’s something cool about games that have small boxes that you can cart around fairly easily, just sticking it in the back of your pack behind huge games like Speakeasy or something. There’s also something cool about jetting through the galaxy, colonizing planets and… Continue Reading “Dicing Your Way Through the Galaxy – Tiny Epic Galaxies Review”
Friday Night Shots – If You Aren’t Playing the Game to Win, Are You Playing the Game?
I mentioned last week that this Boardgame Geek thread about unpopular opinions was going to be a gold mine for Friday Night Shots posts. Lo and behold, here’s a second post! Games are games, with winners and losers. The cogent question this time around… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – If You Aren’t Playing the Game to Win, Are You Playing the Game?”
Rock Hard: Ear Candy Update
I normally don’t do two posts in one day, but I couldn’t contain my excitement about this one and wanted to post something quick about it. It’s long been known that Rock Hard is one of my favourite games out there right now, but… Continue Reading “Rock Hard: Ear Candy Update”
Hidden Jungle Horror – Final Girl – The Green Terror Review
One of the conceits with the whole Final Girl franchise of dice-rolling, solo horror games, is that you and your character are the typical “final girl” in various horror films, the one who watches everybody die around her but she ends up defeating the… Continue Reading “Hidden Jungle Horror – Final Girl – The Green Terror Review”
BGG Top Games – 3601 – 3700
One reason I love doing these Boardgame Geek century posts about games that are ranked fairly far down is that I get to explore games that are kind of outside the mainstream. And also, most likely, games that I haven’t played in quite a… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3601 – 3700”
New to Me – June 2026
June wasn’t as big of a month for new to me games, which makes sense because even the convention I attended only had two. Bottoscons tend to have us play older games for the most part, though not always. Combine that with, as I… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2026”
Friday Night Shots – Should Solo Games Exist?
Last week, I was reading a Boardgame Geek forum post that I thought would be a goldmine for some Friday Night Shots posts. And it is! The thread is entitled “Do you have an unpopular opinion that is TRULY unpopular?” As opposed to those… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Should Solo Games Exist?”
BGG Top Games – 3501-3600
No time warps this time, hopefully. There wasn’t last week, anyway. Yes, doing these centuries (that’s 100 games for those who have been wondering) of Boardgame Geek game rankings have been really interesting and fun to do. But writing them ahead as I do,… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3501-3600”
June 2026 Gaming
Happy Canada Day! June was a weird month for gaming. It had a full convention, a 3-day weekend of wonderful gaming with friends as well new acquintances. However, that convention was full of long plays so the number of games played wasn’t as high… Continue Reading “June 2026 Gaming”
