When I was first talking about movement on this list between 2022 and 2024, I wasn’t sure how much movement there would be in the Top 10. Those games are still great, shouldn’t they stay up there? Of course, some games might supplant them,… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#30-21)”

Two weeks and two entries into this list. Maybe I’ll be able to actually do this weekly, unlike in 2022! It was interesting doing a Top 50 rather than a Top 25. Some games have fallen enough that they wouldn’t even be listed if… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#40-31)”

January 2023 was a great month for gaming, especially with OrcaCon and everything. I’ve already told you about the new games I played, but here’s my month in review. (Many thanks to BG Stats for the ability to do stuff like this!) For me,… Continue Reading “January 2023 Gaming”

It’s a brand new year and hopefully it will be better than last year. Though last year wasn’t too bad, compared to the two before. It’s January (or February, but we’re talking about January) and that means a new beginning where we’re not sure… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2023”

(Edit – Now check out the Top 5!) It’s been a while since I’ve done a true Top 10 list. Last year’s Top 10 was rolled into my Top 25 Games Played of All Time. I didn’t play enough in 2020 to do a… Continue Reading “Top 10 Games Played in 2022 – #10-6”

November was an interesting month for boardgaming. I went to my second convention this year, a relatively small (compared to SHUX, anyway!) local wargaming convention where I was finally able to get a bit of wargaming done! Considering how many wargames I now have,… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2022”

It’s good to see the Players’ Aid back to doing some posts! They’re still just interviews right now (or they were, until they posted something non-interviewish this morning after I had written all of this last night!) so I’m going to continue doing a… Continue Reading “November 2021 Monthly Update From GMT Games”

Another week, another “wow, I haven’t played many games” post. It’s almost like I’m failing as a “gamer”. Is that possible? Should I really feel bad that I haven’t played a bunch of games? Maybe, if I’m actually writing about them. Am I not… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – #160-151”
