April was an interesting month for the Cult of the New to Me. First, we had our new member initiation, but nobody came (oops!). (Editor: Doesn’t help that you gave them the wrong date) Then I took a look at the new to me… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2018”

I’m tired. It’s been a busy month of playing new games! So I’ve definitely enjoyed it. But I’m tired. If I hadn’t been writing this post as I played the games, I’m not sure if it would have come out. This is a long one.… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2018”

After the rather dead January for New to Me games, February really picked up. So much so that my last game session I had to try and play some previously-played games just so that I didn’t overload myself (this writing stuff is hard!). That… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2018”

It was actually a pretty light month for new to me games. Between being sick and missing two game days/nights and then actually playing a few games multiple times, the new experiences were few and far between. In fact, I only have two new… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2018”

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”

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”

Welcome to this month’s New to Me post, as discussed on an episode of the Boardgames in Bed podcast (not this month’s, but the concept of “New to Me” games) It was looking like a lean month for new to me games in October.… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2017”

September was a good month for “new to me” games. It was a good month for gaming in general, but the new ones I got to play were a nice mix of old and new. Which illustrates exactly the point of my “new to… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2017”

August was the month of the Dragonflight convention (38th edition, see you there on the 39th maybe?) so it’s to be expected that I would get some new games in. But surprisingly, not as many as I expected. I did get a couple of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 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”
