After last month where I said that my “new to me games” list was slacking off a bit in 2026, August managed to bring six new games to the table! That still only puts me at 46 new games where last year was 84.… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2026”

June wasn’t as big of a month for new to me games, which makes sense because even the convention I attended only had two. Bottoscons tend to have us play older games for the most part, though not always. Combine that with, as I… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2026”

Happy Canada Day! June was a weird month for gaming. It had a full convention, a 3-day weekend of wonderful gaming with friends as well new acquintances. However, that convention was full of long plays so the number of games played wasn’t as high… Continue Reading “June 2026 Gaming”

One of these days, I’m going to learn that doing these Boardgame Geek century posts too early is possibly going to cause a rip in the space-time continuum, like what’s happening right about now. What, you didn’t feel that? We’ve all traded places with… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3301 – 3400”
