Ancient Civilizations of the Middle East from GMT Games
Since I’m in full-blooded GMT Fanboy Mode (can I trademark that? I think I should trademark that) with trying to get The Barracks Emperors over the P500 line (and having successfully done so with Flashpoint: South China Sea and I will not listen to anybody… Continue Reading “Ancient Civilizations of the Middle East from GMT Games”
New to Me – September 2019
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”
Review – Welcome to Centerville
If I were ever voted to city council or the urban planning commission for Vancouver, you know what I would hope to see? All of the people in the meeting rolling dice and making decisions based on that. I think that would be hilarious… Continue Reading “Review – Welcome to Centerville”
New to Me – July 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”
Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917
World War I and the Soviet takeover of Russia have always been fascinating historical topics for me. I’m a historian by education and desire, if not by trade.

They’ve retooled the campaign along with adding the subtitle to the name to… Continue Reading “Stronghold Games Relaunches Kickstarter”
Top 25 Games Played of All Time (5-1)
Happy Valentine’s Day! What a fitting day to share the love I have for my Top 5 Games. We’ve reached the end, those of you who have been holding your breath to see what my Top 5 games played are. Hopefully you didn’t hold… Continue Reading “Top 25 Games Played of All Time (5-1)”
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 – November 2018
It’s December! And too many days into December for my New to Me Games post for November, so my apologies. I do have a good reason, though. The Cult of the New to Me was having a fundraiser, but unfortunately it didn’t go well.… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2018”
