It’s been a long journey getting to this top 10. Not so much in weeks, as these posts have appeared for 5 weeks just like the previous Top 25 did (or they should have, but I’d forgotten that I took a much too long… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#10 – 1)”

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”

It’s been a week since my last post. And wow, what a week. Ok, it wasn’t that bad, but I just needed a bit of a recharge and decided not to think too much about writing this week. More stuff coming next week, definitely.… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Drafting Games”

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”
