Finding the Aliens Among Us – SETI Review
Action selection games usually don’t have a lot of theme to them, at least as far as the actions you are selecting from. Usually it’s like “oh, I select this noble to do this thing, and oh, supposedly I’m building some part of this… Continue Reading “Finding the Aliens Among Us – SETI Review”
New to Me – September 2025
I love months where I play a bunch of games that I have no experience with. September gaming was great for the number of plays, but even better for the new to me games that I got to play! I especially love it when… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2025”
First Impressions – Galactic Cruise
This is another “first impressions” post about a new game, a game that I’m not sure I will get three plays of but yet one I want to talk about. As I said in my Friday Night Shots post about first impressions, this is… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Galactic Cruise”
New to Me – August 2025

After getting through the Scholars of… Continue Reading “Trading Against the Tide – Tides of Trade Review (Wayfarers of the South Tigris Expansion)”
Bury the Nose – Body of Books Review (Scholars of the South Tigris expansion)
Sometimes expansions comes out and they fix something that may have been a little off in the base game. (Wayfarers of the South Tigris expansion, I’m looking at you a little bit). Sometimes, though, an expansion just gives you more stuff to think about… Continue Reading “Bury the Nose – Body of Books Review (Scholars of the South Tigris expansion)”
How Big is Your Camel? – Resafa Review
Sometimes games with historical themes throw in as much as possible regarding that theme, even when they might be unrelated. Overcompensation? Maybe, or maybe they just want to make sure there are enough things to do to keep the game interesting, and at least… Continue Reading “How Big is Your Camel? – Resafa Review”

Long time no see, everybody! Sorry for the radio silence, but I’ve been moving computers and on vacation and just basically not in the mood to write for a while. But something cool coming up will always make me write something, and today I… Continue Reading “Civolution – Acceptance Letter expansion for Fall 2025”
New to Me – June 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”
