November 2025 Gaming
I knew November would be much better than October for my gaming, because there’s a really nice 4-day convention in November. I didn’t expect that it would be this much better, though! In November, I managed to play 36 games a total of 57… Continue Reading “November 2025 Gaming”
Making Everybody Hate You – The Prodigals Club Review
Anybody who has followed this blog for any length of time knows that The Prodigals Club is one of my favourite games. So this review may be a bit superfluous. However, I’ve never really talked in detail about the game, so why don’t we… Continue Reading “Making Everybody Hate You – The Prodigals Club Review”
Bottoscon 2025 Retrospective
This past weekend was the 19th annual Bottoscon convention at the Inn at the Quay in New Westminster, Canada. We’re almost at 20! The con is run by Rob Bottos, a great guy who has taken to heart what many of us Canadians have… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2025 Retrospective”
New to Me – October 2025
October was a really lean month for new to me games, with only two getting done! That will change in November with Bottoscon coming up, but October was almost a wasteland. However, the Cult of the New to Me was happy because, while one… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 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
I love playing games that are new, even more when they’re older but still new to me! You know what I love even more? Having reviewed a bunch of them already so I don’t have to try and condense a description of them for… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2025”
August 2025 Gaming
It’s nice when a month of gaming comes together in unexpected ways is better than you expected it to be. I was surprised by July’s gaming numbers, considering I was off. August came around and I was going to be missing one Sunday due… Continue Reading “August 2025 Gaming”
Trading Against the Tide – Tides of Trade Review (Wayfarers of the South Tigris Expansion)
The recent Kickstarter from Garphill Games with all of the South Tigris expansions recently showed up on my doorstep, so apologies for the fact that you’re going to be inundated with South Tigris content for a little bit! After getting through the Scholars of… Continue Reading “Trading Against the Tide – Tides of Trade Review (Wayfarers of the South Tigris Expansion)”
