Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?
Has it been five weeks yet? No, it hasn’t! Welcome back to the bar, only a week later. You must have seen the lights on in the window, or maybe the fire that’s in the corner. We should probably put that out. Anyway, it’s… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Important is Art?”
Friday Night Shots – Drafting Games
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”
Async App Plays and Recording Boardgame Stats
Longtime readers of this blog know that I am an avid recorder of my boardgame play stats, using the wonderful Boardgame Stats app. I also love playing boardgame apps or boardgames online asynchronously.

Ascension – Skulls & Sails Coming in May
I’m a huge Ascension fan, maybe partially because it helped get me back into the whole gaming scene but also because it’s just a fun little deckbuilder. It’s hard to believe it’s been around since 2010 and there are literally tons of expansions (Editor – That could… Continue Reading “Ascension – Skulls & Sails Coming in May”
Ascension – Valley of the Ancients drops on Digital
Hi, my name is Dave. And I’m an Ascension addict. I had a sponsor who was helping me with it, but when I showed him my online profile and the number of games I’ve played, he ran away screaming. I’m not sure how to… Continue Reading “Ascension – Valley of the Ancients drops on Digital”
How I Became a Gamer
I was browsing the Geek Weekly issue on Boardgame Geek just now, and included in it was a beautiful post from Neil Bunker, of Great Britain, who just recently rediscovered his love of board games with a chance visit to a bookstore that happened… Continue Reading “How I Became a Gamer”
Boardgames That Work Better as Apps
In some of my social media postings, I have mentioned that Potion Explosion worked better for me in app form because it was too fiddly on the table. This brings to mind something that I’ve thought about quite a bit. What other board games have… Continue Reading “Boardgames That Work Better as Apps”
