One of my favourite games out there is Ark Nova. For some reason it just scratches a whole bunch of itches (ok, maybe that came out wrong) and I really enjoy playing it. I’m in 2-3 games of it on Boardgame Arena and I’ll… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Ark Nova: Marine Worlds”

It’s a brand new year! And as I mentioned yesterday, I plan to continue blogging at the pace that I kept up last year. Maybe even more, though I’m not sure if that would kill me or not. After the blog review yesterday, you… Continue Reading “December 2023 Gaming”

With a convention at the beginning of the month, it was a no-brainer that November would be a bigger gaming month than October had been. However, after working remotely for most of the month (so no lunch-time games, since I’m usually doing stuff around… Continue Reading “November 2023 Gaming”

This post has been a long time coming, mainly due to exhaustion on my part. A four-day con is a long con, especially when you are playing a lot of longer games. All of that would be fine, except then I started work on… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2023 Retrospective”

October was another month of decent gaming. I was worried that it was going to be a slow month, even though we did get a Sunday game day every week this month. But I shouldn’t have been concerned, as the last Sunday brought me… Continue Reading “October 2023 Gaming”

October was a great month for new to me games! That’s been a bit unusual lately, so I’m glad that this is back on the upswing. Of course, with every improvement there comes a downside. I played 5 new to me games in October,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2023”

(Edit: 10/5/23) – Finally, the last design diary! I think. Nope, there are 1-2 more coming. Paul Dennen reveals how Contracts work and it looks like a major boost to the beginning of the game, at least in trying to get money.
