Dragonflight 39 – Another Successful Convention

Every August, there is a wonderful boardgaming convention in Bellevue, Washington, called Dragonflight. It’s been held at the Hilton hotel there, and I’ve been going to it since 2015. This past weekend was the 2018 version of it, and it was just as much… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 39 – Another Successful Convention”

Review: Sagrada

Stained glass windows are beautiful things to look at. No matter what you think of a church’s architecture, the stained glass is usually one of the main attractions and draws your eye to them. You know what else draws your eye? Beautiful boardgames! (Editor:… Continue Reading “Review: Sagrada”

New to Me – July 2018

I know this is very late, but it’s been a sad time in the Cult of the New to Me headquarters. There was a bit of an insurrection with our Cult member over doctrine and my leadership, and because…I know this is heresy and… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2018”

App Review – Istanbul

Rubies make the world go around. Isn’t that what Marilyn Monroe always said? (Editor – Dating yourself *and* being wrong all in one sentence. That’s quite the accomplishment!) If you’re a merchant in Istanbul in some vague time period of the past, rubies are… Continue Reading “App Review – Istanbul”

Expansion Review – Smash Up: What Were We Thinking?

Another day, another Smash Up expansion. This is becoming almost a weekly thing! Or maybe it just seems that way. Anyway, with my latest expansion acquisition (not the latest expansion period, since I am nothing if not eclectic (Editor: You mean random, right?) in… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: What Were We Thinking?”

I was just going to do one post today, but something that I saw last night made me wonder. And making me wonder is a really dangerous thing sometimes. On Boardgame Geek in the Smash Up forum, there’s a thread called “Play mat unavailable?” In… Continue Reading “The Completionist Mindset”
