Friday – App Review
Most of the time when boardgame apps are done on mobile, there is an announcement that it’s coming. Recently, Friday dropped onto the App Store with no warning whatsoever (and a couple of key bugs too, which have now been fixed). This Friedmann Friese classic… Continue Reading “Friday – App Review”
New to Me – June 2017
It was a pretty lean month in June for new games. There were a few that I played for a second time, but that doesn’t count (or so the mean-looking guy behind me holding the truncheon says). Only three new games in June, which… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2017”
Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October
I’m a big fan of the 2016 game Imhotep, the quick and easy game where you’re building monuments in ancient Egypt for points. It’s so good and easy that my non-gamer co-worker played it and loved it. So I was excited to see the… Continue Reading “Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October”
Planet of the Apes games coming to a table near you

Race for the Galaxy App – Coming to Steam & Massive Update
I know I’m a bit behind. Sorry about that. I’ve been too busy playing the Race for the Galaxy, from Temple Gates Games, app to actually write anything. So consider this a couple of announcements that will make any fan of this game drool.… Continue Reading “Race for the Galaxy App – Coming to Steam & Massive Update”
Smash Up – Big in Japan coming in August
I saw a post on Boardgame Geek talking about the Big in Japan expansion for the card game Smash Up, and for some reason I thought it was talking about how the game itself is quite big in Japan. I didn’t even realize that’s… Continue Reading “Smash Up – Big in Japan coming in August”
Buying Games and Canada Post – a Rant
Being an avid boardgamer, I buy a lot of my games at online stores. The prices are usually great (especially on sale) and they just show up on your doorstep one day! Without you even having to put your clothes on! How easy is… Continue Reading “Buying Games and Canada Post – a Rant”
