Corny Terror – Final Girl – A Rotten Harvest Review
I grew up in a state that was full of corn fields, though I never actually experienced running through them in terror, being stalked by some creature of existential dread or anything like that. You know, like Steve King. (Editor: “Only a certain subset… Continue Reading “Corny Terror – Final Girl – A Rotten Harvest Review”
Friday Night Shots – Lifestyle Games
Lifestyle games What does that mean and are you into them?

(18XX games are train games where… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Lifestyle Games”
BGG Top Games – 3401 – 3500
Another short turnaround time for this Boardgame Geek century of games post, because I have another Friday Night Shots post ready to go, so I didn’t want this to go out on Friday too. You all are getting so lucky with these! Or at… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3401 – 3500”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 04 – Closed for Renovation
Sometimes life just hands you an impossible task and you have to do your best at it, even knowing that you’re probably screwed. Sometimes wargames are like that!

The Uprising Will Be Televised – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: Uprising
Back in the early 2020s, Dire Wolf Digital had a huge hit with Paul Dennen’s Dune Imperium, a classic blending of deckbuilding mechanics and worker placement that quickly rose into the Boardgame Geek Top 100 and currently sits in the Top 10. They came… Continue Reading “The Uprising Will Be Televised – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: Uprising”
Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – Long or Short Games at Cons?
It’s been almost a year since my last Friday Night Shots post (though yes, it is Saturday), but last weekend’s convention gave me a couple of ideas to explore. Though sadly the bar is closed, the whiskey does keep flowing! And producing boardgame thoughts… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots (Saturday Edition) – Long or Short Games at Cons?”
BGG Top Games – 3301 – 3400
One of these days, I’m going to learn that doing these Boardgame Geek century posts too early is possibly going to cause a rip in the space-time continuum, like what’s happening right about now. What, you didn’t feel that? We’ve all traded places with… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3301 – 3400”

Terror in the Abbey – Final Girl – A Demon in the Shadows Review
Don’t you hate it when you’re just minding your own business, sitting serenely in some kind of religious building, praying and all of that stuff, and then suddenly a demon comes in and possesses you, forcing you to do unspeakable things to all of… Continue Reading “Terror in the Abbey – Final Girl – A Demon in the Shadows Review”
Reptilian Waves – Surfosaurus MAX Review
In what turned out to be a total coincidence, last week’s Boardgame Geek century post mentioned Surfosaurus MAX and the fact that I wouldn’t mind playing it again and then, four days later, it came out to our Sunday game day! I asked my… Continue Reading “Reptilian Waves – Surfosaurus MAX Review”
