April was not a good month of gaming for me. In March, I played a bunch of live games on Boardgame Arena to really pad my stats and it was a lot of fun. In April, however, I didn’t even really do that. I… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2021”

It’s another month, and it’s another month of not playing any new games on the table. All three of my new to me games this month are from Boardgame Arena. That’s not a bad thing, and it’s very cool that BGA has so many… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2021”

Ah, 2021. The past year has been dangerous, depressing, disappointing, in some cases despotic, and many other words that begin with “d”. Everybody was so happy to get rid of it, to see it in the rear view mirror, like stopping at a rest… Continue Reading “New to me – January 2021”

It’s the end of December and 2020 has been a really cruel and wicked year. However, one benefit of all of this is that I’ve played a lot more games with my wife than I had in the past. She graciously volunteered to play… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2020”

Another month and another COVID month where I actually have some new stuff to talk about! Kind of. Expansions aren’t necessarily the same as playing “new” games, but they are still cool, right? You’re not one of those that hates on all expansions just… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2020”

What is this? A “New to Me Games” post? This is the first since August! So basically skipping September. That’s what COVID has done to us. It’s not for lack of trying, but I have been so “not in the mood” to play games… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2020”
