Top 25 Games Played of All Time (20-16)
As a relatively new board game blogger (less than 2 years, and just hitting 200 posts), I sometimes don’t feel right making “Top 10” lists. The number of games I’ve played, in relative terms, would probably not even fit in Tom Vasel’s pinky finger… Continue Reading “Top 25 Games Played of All Time (20-16)”

New to Me – June 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”
Review – World’s Fair 1893
(Edit – 2/1/21: Renegade Games has just announced an Amazon-exclusive new version of the game that will be more racially diverse than the original game. It will contain a new group of racially diverse playable historical figures. I’m not exactly sure what that means.… Continue Reading “Review – World’s Fair 1893”
