Last weekend, for the first time in almost three years, I actually went to a game convention. COVID really did put a damper on things. SHUX is the Shut Up & Sit Down gaming convention held at the Convention Centre in my home town… Continue Reading “SHUX 2022 Retrospective”

It had been a quiet September at Dude Central. There was a birthday party that nobody came to (it’s not my fault I accidentally put September 9, 2018 on the invitations. How was I supposed to know that everybody would actually look at the… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2019”

June was a very slow month for new to me games. Only two! And one expansion. Man, were they great ones, though. The expansion is to my favourite game of all time (at least for now) and I got another COIN game in! I… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2019”

Holy moley, true believers! October is usually a quiet month, but a gaming marathon at the beginning dumped five “new to me” games all in one day and it was only upwards from there! That was the exciting part of the month. I was… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2018”

August was the month of the Dragonflight convention (38th edition, see you there on the 39th maybe?) so it’s to be expected that I would get some new games in. But surprisingly, not as many as I expected. I did get a couple of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2017”

It was a pretty lean month in June for new games. There were a few that I played for a second time, but that doesn’t count (or so the mean-looking guy behind me holding the truncheon says). Only three new games in June, which… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2017”

There’s nothing like the Caribbean sun, I’m sure (I’ve never been down there, unfortunately). I know it gets really hot down there, especially when you’re working out in the streets or in the fields, building markets or working the indigo plants.
