Friday Night Shots – How Important is a Game’s Theme?
Hi-di-ho, neighbour! Welcome back to the bar, this time for a regular post! (anybody who can tell me what that welcome is from, I will give you…well, my undying admiration. You are official old!). Yes, it’s been less than a week since last week’s… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Important is a Game’s Theme?”
Working in the West Kingdom
This story takes place in the game Architects of the West Kingdom. The letter below was found in a church and was translated by somebody very talented yet also very vindictive. He modernized the language of the letter and, when reprimanded for that, destroyed… Continue Reading “Working in the West Kingdom”
Friday Night Shots – Boardgame Arena
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Dave, you really shouldn’t wear green because it really makes you look hideous.” And I would agree with that! You’re also thinking “Dave, what’s this? Two Friday Night Shots posts in a row? What’s gotten into you?”… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Boardgame Arena”
Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)
When I was first talking about movement on this list between 2022 and 2024, I wasn’t sure how much movement there would be in the Top 10. Those games are still great, shouldn’t they stay up there? Of course, some games might supplant them,… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)”
Friday Night Shots – Playing with Non-Gamers?
It’s another clear, and cold, Friday night, but it’s warm here in the bar, isn’t it? I think I turned up the heat. Or maybe I just have a bad fever. Either way, have a seat and let me get you your favourite libation!… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Playing with Non-Gamers?”
Friday Night Shots – Tiebreakers
Hey there! It’s another Friday, and it’s time to belly up to the bar, have a drink (whatever you like), and chat a little bit about board games. Don’t mind the music. I’ll turn it down. Steely Dan is so good that it can… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Tiebreakers”
Friday Night Shots – Who’s First Player?
Welcome back! It wouldn’t be a Friday night without seeing you here. I hope your week has gone well and, if you’re like I am, looking forward to a long weekend. Grab a seat, and let’s chat about “first player rules”! This will probably… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Who’s First Player?”
July 2023 Gaming
July was an interesting month for gaming, mainly because I had no idea what kind of gaming I would get in. I was off the entire month of July, so there wouldn’t be any lunch time work games. However, there were no Sunday holidays… Continue Reading “July 2023 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – Game Length
(This was supposed to go out last night, but instead it’s going out tonight. Pretend it’s still Friday, ok?) It’s another Friday, and it’s vacation time! Yes, I am off of work for an entire month, not returning until July 31. But since it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Length”
Friday Night Shots – Expansions: Yea or Nay?
It’s Friday. A long week is finished and it’s time to sit back, relax, have some good food and a drink of some kind (whatever kind you like). There’s plenty of soft music in the background too. This isn’t so much of an issue… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Expansions: Yea or Nay?”
