August was a booming month for gaming, despite there not being any conventions or anything. Well, maybe not “booming,” but certainly better than last month! Lunch time games at work certainly helped matters, plus there were a few Sundays where multiple games got played.… Continue Reading “August 2026 Gaming”

July had no conventions or anything, but yet it somehow managed to almost have as many new to me games as June did. The fact that all of these were shorter games, unlike last month, made things a bit different though. I’ve now played… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2026”

We’re now starting to get into the 4000s in the Boardgame Geek game rankings, and while this century isn’t as bad as last week’s (though hopefully you think my post about it was A+, would highly recommend!), it is close. However, there are always… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4001-4100”

Some of these “top BGG Games” posts are a little lean on games that I’ve played, though I really enjoy that because we can then spend more time talking about games that it would be cool to play! If there are any in that… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3701 – 3800”

No time warps this time, hopefully. There wasn’t last week, anyway. Yes, doing these centuries (that’s 100 games for those who have been wondering) of Boardgame Geek game rankings have been really interesting and fun to do. But writing them ahead as I do,… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3501-3600”

It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, so how about a middle post about Boardgame Geek rankings? I mentioned last week that I’ll keep doing these until I hit a week where I haven’t played anything. That ain’t this week! I should remind folks… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100”

I knew this month would not be as good as last month. No conventions! But I was still able to get some solid gaming in, though maybe not as much as usual. One Sunday I wasn’t able to make it and the lunchtime games… Continue Reading “April 2026 Gaming”

Don’t you hate it when you’re having a peaceful Sunday brunch, and suddenly James’ bacon pulls out a machine gun and starts firing it at your burger, while Abi’s pesto linguini starts shooting rockets at both Vicki’s pizza and your tater tots? Meanwhile everybody’s… Continue Reading “Dinner Battlefield – Food Fight: Reheated Review”

February was a slow month for new to me games, even with two days of a three-day convention. Of course, fighting illness off and then actually not playing anything new for the February days of that convention would have something to do with that.… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2026”

We’re into a new millennium! Not year-wise, of course. We are sadly still in 2026. But in looking at the Boardgame Geek game rankings, we are now over 2000. Some might say we’re getting into the dregs, where I haven’t played, or even thought… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2001 Through 2100”
