There’s something to be said for a really good filler game, one that can be really short or longer if you have the time, but it doesn’t take much energy or too much thought. There’s also something to be said for a good dice… Continue Reading “Review – Würfel Bohnanza”
New to Me – July 2017
It was a fairly lean month for new games, which involved me missing one of my game days due to illness. But four is not a bad number! I love doing a mix of old favourites and “new to me” games. But I’m not… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2017”

New Visitors Expansion for Viticulture in 2018
Sorry I’ve been away so long. Was expecting to do some blogging on my three weeks vacation and…didn’t. But what great news to come back to! Viticulture is a game about running a vineyard for victory points (yes, those nasty victory points again). I’m… Continue Reading “New Visitors Expansion for Viticulture in 2018”
Onirim updated again – Crossroads & Dead Ends expansion
Aren’t surprises wonderful? Ok, not always. It sort of sucks to be driving along late at night and then suddenly you’re in a construction hold-up in line with other cars that you weren’t expecting and there’s no way to turn around or bail.
