But this is now the fifth weekend in a row where you get… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Moments That Make You Go “Wow””
New to Me – May 2025
May was a very good month for new to me games. I got one of my new games to the table, played a couple that I’ve been dying to play for a while now, and was introduced to a few that I didn’t even… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2025”
May 2025 Gaming
I wasn’t expecting too much out of my May gaming period, mainly because of Mother’s Day and two Vancouver marathons meaning that we didn’t have our usual Sunday gaming place for three straight weeks. Suddenly, though, the light appeared and we had an alternate… Continue Reading “May 2025 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – Games & Changed Opinions
Can I really go a month combining drinking and posting? Yes, I can! It’s been a month of posts, and thankfully you’ve managed to find your way back to the bar each week, even though historically I’ve been having trouble meeting this quota.

Clank Under the Sea – Clank: Sunken Treasures app expansion review
I keep saying this, but Dire Wolf Digital is putting out some amazing boardgame apps, even though sometimes a new app has a couple of faults that were present (and fixed) in previous apps, so I’m not sure what’s going on there. They do… Continue Reading “Clank Under the Sea – Clank: Sunken Treasures app expansion review”

The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review
Sometimes game expansions add some much-needed variety to a game that enhances it, maybe fixing something that players have found wrong or missing in the base game. Other times, an expansion adds some unnecessary junk that makes a game more complicated or less enjoyable… Continue Reading “The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 118 – No. 4 Commando
Combat Commander can be a weird duck sometimes. One day, luck is swinging wildly like a drunk pool player swinging his stick around because he scratched on an easy 8-ball shot. The next day, things pretty much go in a straight line, from one… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 118 – No. 4 Commando”
Friday Night Shots – Cooperative Games
No, you’re not drunk or stoned or just seeing things. Yes, this is the third week in a row for a Friday Night Shots post. The bar is now open weekly! At least for now. Maybe not next week. I’m glad you happened to… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Cooperative Games”
Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?
Has it been five weeks yet? No, it hasn’t! Welcome back to the bar, only a week later. You must have seen the lights on in the window, or maybe the fire that’s in the corner. We should probably put that out. Anyway, it’s… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?”
