Fantastic Factories: Manufactions Coming to Kickstarter
Really quick post for Friday because, well, it’s Friday.

New Ascension expansion announced
I’m a huge fan of the deck-building card game Ascension (as many of you who read this blog (hi Bob!) might remember), but I haven’t actually played it on the table in quite a while. The app is just so good that it’s hard for… Continue Reading “New Ascension expansion announced”
GMT Gives Free Games for COVID Job Loss
During these plague-filled times of dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic and all of the life changes that it has involved, I’ve been lucky. And I know it. My wife and I both still have our jobs and while I’ve been working from home since… Continue Reading “GMT Gives Free Games for COVID Job Loss”
