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”

Whew! I’m finally awake again after finishing last week’s Part 1 of my “New to Me Games – January” post. That really took a lot out of me. It’s been a week and I’m just now recovering! Excuse me while I hop on my… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2020 (Part 2)”

It’s a brand new year! And this time, I can actually say that while talking about 2020 games (unlike last month). January was a busy month for new-to-me games. I went to two conventions on back-to-back weekends (that was a lot of fun but… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2020 (Part 1)”

Happy New Year! As we start the new year here at the Cult of the New to Me, we want to look back at the previous month, because looking back is what we do! That’s right. We never talk about the new to me… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2019”

It’s December! The last month of the year, the Christmas (or whatever end-of-year holiday you celebrate) season is upon us, but before we look forward to all of those presents sitting under the tree (or sitting under whatever your end-of-year holiday object is), it’s… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2019”

October was SHUX month. SHUX is a 3-day boardgame convention in Vancouver that was simply phenomenal. I had so much fun, and would have had even more fun if I hadn’t felt so terrible. Maybe next year! You know what conventions mean, right? No,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2019”

It had been a quiet September at Dude Central. There was a birthday party that nobody came to (it’s not my fault I accidentally put September 9, 2018 on the invitations. How was I supposed to know that everybody would actually look at the… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2019”

It’s September, and it’s hard to believe the school year’s about to start. Where has 2019 gone? August was a good month for new to me games, even if there were only three of them (I did playtest a couple at Dragonflight, but I’m… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2019”
