I love months where I play a bunch of games that I have no experience with. September gaming was great for the number of plays, but even better for the new to me games that I got to play! I especially love it when… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2025”

May was a really boring month for new to me games, so much so that I was wondering how I could correct that for June. How about seven? No, that’s no my winning lotto number, though it should be. That’s how many new games… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2024”

Another first impressions post, mainly because I doubt this game will come out to our game days again, other than maybe one more time (I prefer to review a game after 3 plays). These first impressions posts are not reviews exactly, because I’ve only… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Cascadero”

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”

July was yet another weird month for games, as I explained in last week’s “games played” post (sorry this one took so long after that). Even with that, I was able to get six new to me games to the table. Granted, three were… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2023”
