We’ve hit the 5000 mark in our examination of the Boardgame Geek game rankings, one century of games a week, and it feels quite cool, actually. I’ve really enjoyed doing this series, and it has kept me consistently writing as well, which is another… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4901 – 5000”

We’ve all played those games before. The games where just sitting there playing the game, using the mechanisms (card drafting, worker placement, whatever) and you just think “this isn’t really that different than (fill in the blank) and it’s kind of boring.” But then… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Games Where the “Extras” Make the Game Better”

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”
