June has been a busy month, and not seemingly conducive to getting new board games played. We missed a Sunday game day (Father’s Day) and for two of the other three Sundays, our main “new games” guy wasn’t able to come. However, we maximized… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2023”

It’s June. I’m amazed that we’re almost half-way through the year already. But it’s also time to look back at May and the gaming that I did (which I did in general already) With Mother’s Day taking up one Sunday, it was another sparse… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2023”

As mentioned in my April Gaming post, April was not a banner month for games. Too much time off and missing a regular game day really sank that. It also affected my “new to me” games because I only got two of them played!… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2023”

March was a good month for gaming, with a convention and numerous lunch time plays at work as well as some hefty Sunday game days as well. As noted in my March gaming post, I played 21 games! Seven of them were even new… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2023”

February is the shortest month of the year, though it can seem quite long (or did before a stat holiday was added to it). It can seem even longer when you don’t get as many games played as usual! As I mentioned in my… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2023”

It’s a brand new year and hopefully it will be better than last year. Though last year wasn’t too bad, compared to the two before. It’s January (or February, but we’re talking about January) and that means a new beginning where we’re not sure… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2023”

December was a curtailed month for games. The last game I played was on December 13 (or December 16 if you count my Combat Commander ladder game I played on a Friday night). Between a Sunday Funday being snowed out, Christmas falling on a… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2022”

November was an interesting month for boardgaming. I went to my second convention this year, a relatively small (compared to SHUX, anyway!) local wargaming convention where I was finally able to get a bit of wargaming done! Considering how many wargames I now have,… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2022”

October started out really kind of warm and ended really cold and rainy. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! But it was a good month for gaming. I already told you about the month in general, though, so let’s stick to the stuff that you… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2022”

September was a weird month as far as boardgaming went. Our Sundays were sparsely-attended and we ended up playing games that we were already familiar with. With one of my usual gaming co-workers away for most of the month, my other co-worker agreed to… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2022”
