Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (5-1)
Thankfully this post isn’t coming to you really late, like in mid-February. That would be a bit stale, wouldn’t it? I wanted to get this posted last week, but a bad cold did me in. Yes, Gollum, I agree. I know you’ve been waiting… Continue Reading “Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (5-1)”
New to Me – December 2017
Posting this in between the two posts for top games played in 2017 because, well, reasons that will become apparent when the 2nd post comes out later this week. It was a lean month for “new to me” games in December, but it was… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2017”
Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (10-6)
It’s the end of the year, and everybody in the boardgaming world is doing their “top picks of 2017” or some other variation of that. However, I don’t play enough brand new games to make a list like that. This year was a record-breaking… Continue Reading “Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (10-6)”
App News – Race for the Galaxy goes to the Brink of War
I’ve been seriously neglectful of writing about boardgame apps recently, and it’s time to rectify that (I think I’ve been intimidated by Stately Play). So how about a big announcement (though late, of course, since I was on vacation) about one of the best… Continue Reading “App News – Race for the Galaxy goes to the Brink of War”
New to Me – November 2017
November was not looking like a good month for “new to me” games, but the last two weeks really picked it up. I managed to end up playing four new games and two new expansions. What is the Cult of the New to Me?… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2017”
Boardgamers & Free Shipping – A Question
It’s Thanksgiving week in the United States, and we all know what that means. Yes, yes, lots of turkey and family gatherings, and maybe some board games with said family (except Uncle Joe, who always seems to cheat). But I’m not talking about the… Continue Reading “Boardgamers & Free Shipping – A Question”
First Impressions – Modern Art
I’m not a huge fan of auction games. I’m just not great at figuring out value for money and deciding when to stop bidding on something. Probably why I don’t do the family finances. For some reason, though, the first time I played Modern… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Modern Art”
Book Review – Star Trek Legacies #1 – Captain to Captain
I’m a Star Trek fan from way back and have been reading the novels based on the various series and movies since I was a kid. In 2016, Star Trek celebrated its 50th anniversary, with the series first airing in 1966. The iconic images… Continue Reading “Book Review – Star Trek Legacies #1 – Captain to Captain”
Review – Smash Up
When you’re sitting down to watch The Walking Dead or some other zombie movie, what’s the first thing that goes through your mind? No, not “ohhh, ain’t Darryl hot?” The first thing that goes through my mind is that this show could use a… Continue Reading “Review – Smash Up”
Review – New York Slice
Do you see a pizza dripping with cheese and toppings and start to salivate? Of course you do. (I believe that pizza-haters are a myth propagated by Big Diet) So what game could be more perfect for a lunch-time gaming session than New York… Continue Reading “Review – New York Slice”
