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”

What’s this? Yes, it’s a “new to me games” post! We skipped July because we didn’t play anything new (thanks, COVID!). However, in August we did actually get some games played and even one new one! The Cult is getting a little antsy, but… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2020”

It was a month of horror in the Dude Take Your Turn household in June. Not because of anything bad, and certainly nothing virus-related. It’s just that 2 of the 4 new games played this month have to do with Ancient Evils trying destroy… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2020”

We’re back! Pandemic notwithstanding, I managed to actually get a new to me game (and a new to me expansion) play in with the wife this last month. I have some new games coming so hopefully this trend will continue into June as well.… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2020”

As we move into April, the self-isolation continues. For some people, that was their normal behaviour anyway, but it’s still hard to be sequestered away from seeing pretty much anybody. I’ve been working from home since March 16 and it’s been quite the adjustment.… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2020”

We’re a little late with the “New to Me Games” post for February, but there is definitely a good reason. Last week was the Cult of the New to Me fundraising car wash! Unfortunately, the flyers I sent out and put up had the… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2020”
