A Gaming Life

(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”

It was published back in 2018 by Garphill Games and… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Architects of the West Kingdom – Works of Wonder”
It’s no secret how much I love Architects of the West Kingdom. Even with my top 4 games being GMT Games, Architects still managed to get into the Top 5 games played of all time for 2022.

Wow. I was not expecting to take a 2-week break from the blog. I’m learning to listen to my heart and brain and just take breaks when I need to, and this last two weeks, I just haven’t felt like blogging. Whenever I thought… Continue Reading “Top 25 Games Played of All Time – 2022 Edition (#5-1)”
