The Beauty of Northwest Tiles – Cascadia App Review
(this is going to be a review of both the game and the app, since I’ve played the tabletop game a bunch too) There’s something peaceful about a good tile-laying game where everybody is creating their own habitat for God’s natural wonders, both flora… Continue Reading “The Beauty of Northwest Tiles – Cascadia App Review”
Salty Origami – Sea Salt & Paper Review
As I spoke about on Saturday, the word “filler” for a game is often seen as derogatory, when it really shouldn’t be. Some fillers are really great! Many card games are filler games, and one really juicy one (though it does feel a bit… Continue Reading “Salty Origami – Sea Salt & Paper Review”
Friday Night Shots – Filler Games
Welcome back to the bar! It’s been a whole five weeks, so sorry about that. One of the kegs exploded and we had beer all over the floor. Spent a number of weeks trying to save as much as possible rather than cleaning it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Filler Games”
Evolution is Legendary! – Doomlings: Legends of Enderas review
One of the very cool games that came out in 2022 was a neat little card game called Doomlings. This is a game where each player represents a doomling civilization on some distant planet (or is it an alternate Earth? Only Kang can know… Continue Reading “Evolution is Legendary! – Doomlings: Legends of Enderas review”
New to Me – April 2025
While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”
April 2025 Gaming
As expected after last month’s post, where March had a huge number of games because of a convention, April came back down to earth with a much fewer amount of games. However, it was much better than February! Which means it was a good… Continue Reading “April 2025 Gaming”
Striking From the Dark – In the Shadows Review
Seldom has a game become so relevant to modern times between conception and final production as In the Shadows – Resistance in France 1943-44 has become (I’m assuming it’s been in the planning stages for numerous years, anyway). This game is a 2-player, 45-60… Continue Reading “Striking From the Dark – In the Shadows Review”
New to Me – March 2025 – Part 2
Wow, it has been a spell, hasn’t it? With so many new to me games in March, I broke the usual monthly post into two posts, thinking I’d get them done a few days a part. Yeah, I think I got into one of… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2025 – Part 2”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato
Combat Commander can be a game of wild swings of luck, back and forth so much that it might make you dizzy (and make bad decisions). Sometimes, though, there is just one swing. You know how, when you were a kid, sometimes your dad… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario LoM #11 – La Villa Strangiato”
Clank! – Sunken Treasures Coming to Digital This Summer
(Edit 5/15/25): The release date (on Steam at least) has been announced as May 21! I’ve asked whether that includes iOS and Android but haven’t heard back Or at least that’s what “Quarter 2 2025” means to me! Don’t quote me on the exact… Continue Reading “Clank! – Sunken Treasures Coming to Digital This Summer”
