It’s a brand new year! And this time, I can actually say that while talking about 2020 games (unlike last month). January was a busy month for new-to-me games. I went to two conventions on back-to-back weekends (that was a lot of fun but… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2020 (Part 1)”

After looking at a couple of games from GMT that are getting close to reaching the magical level of the P500 track (it takes 500 orders for them to be “given the go,” so to speak), let’s get much more immediate. In this month’s… Continue Reading “Red Flag Over Paris from GMT Games”

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”

July was vacation month. I was off the entire month and was away from my normal game group for half of the month. Thus, it’s not surprising that I only played two “new to me” games in July. But tell that to the rabble… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2019”
