We’ve hit the 5000 mark in our examination of the Boardgame Geek game rankings, one century of games a week, and it feels quite cool, actually. I’ve really enjoyed doing this series, and it has kept me consistently writing as well, which is another… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4901 – 5000”

My September gaming wasn’t quite as huge as August, but it was still pretty good. For a while there, I thought my “new to me” games would amount to one, but then Abi showed up for a couple of Sundays and I was then… Continue Reading “September 2026 Gaming”

Even closer to 5000 on the Boardgame Geek ranking system, the pickings of played games are getting slim! Not so slim that it would keep me from doing another in this series of posts, because it’s so goddamned fun to talk about games, both… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4801 – 4900”
