The best ones have cards with different abilities that are squaring off against your opponent in an attempt to have the most strength in a lane.

I knew that November was going to be huge for New to Me games, but I didn’t realize just how huge! Between a convention (which, surprisingly enough, I didn’t play many new to me games at until the day Abi showed up) and multiple… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2025”

Ah, June. Halfway through the year (at the end of it anyway) and it’s good to take stock of where I am in my boardgaming. I’ve played more than half again the number of unique games as I did last year, meaning I (hopefully)… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2025”

I love game conventions. Not only do they give me even more of an opportunity to play great games, but it gives me the opportunity to game and chat with many people who I don’t see very often. That’s why Bottoscon is one of… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective”

Welcome back to the bar! It’s been a whole five weeks, so sorry about that. One of the kegs exploded and we had beer all over the floor. Spent a number of weeks trying to save as much as possible rather than cleaning it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Filler Games”

While April wasn’t a really full month of games, it was surprisingly full of new to me games! Six new to me games out of the fourteen I played is actually a really good ratio. I love it when months come together like that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2025”
