May 2025 Gaming
I wasn’t expecting too much out of my May gaming period, mainly because of Mother’s Day and two Vancouver marathons meaning that we didn’t have our usual Sunday gaming place for three straight weeks. Suddenly, though, the light appeared and we had an alternate… Continue Reading “May 2025 Gaming”
The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review
Sometimes game expansions add some much-needed variety to a game that enhances it, maybe fixing something that players have found wrong or missing in the base game. Other times, an expansion adds some unnecessary junk that makes a game more complicated or less enjoyable… Continue Reading “The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review”
New to Me – February 2025
Welcome to another in the continuing series (8 years and running!) of “new to me” boardgames posts. In a few days, I’ll be celebrating 8 years of blogging, and one of the things I am proud of is that I have never missed a… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2025”
February 2025 Gaming
February wasn’t a great month for me overall, in terms of posting (or mental health, really). But it was a great month for games! Missing the first Sunday of the month due to weather, and then only one game on Super Bowl Sunday, I… Continue Reading “February 2025 Gaming”
New to Me – January 2025
Another year and another month of new to me games. It’s 2025 now and things are still going strong on the new to me front, with four whole new ones this last month! No first impressions posts this time, though, so I’ll be talking… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2025”
Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024
I’ve been writing this blog for almost 8 years now, doing a monthly “new to me” post for just as long (it started in April 2017, but it was about March’s games!), and I often do “best games played” of the year if I’m… Continue Reading “Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024”
Lifting the Vale – Vale of Eternity Review
There’s something about relatively quick card games that just grabs me. I’m not sure what it is, other than getting the chance to play a bunch of games in a game day, maybe? However, card games can become a bit rote with small variations… Continue Reading “Lifting the Vale – Vale of Eternity Review”
New to Me – September 2024
This post has been a bit delayed, for reasons. Some of those reasons were me killing a whole bunch of Greek soldiers in Ancient Egypt in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, which is super-addicting right now. The game, not the killing. I’m fighting for Cleopatra! Or… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2024”
Travelling on 3 Cards a Day
I’ve never been to Japan. I hear it’s a fun place to visit, but that hasn’t been me yet. While Let’s Go to Japan will not give you the feel of travelling to Japan, it will give you the feeling of planning your trip!… Continue Reading “Travelling on 3 Cards a Day”
New to Me – July 2024
I knew July would be a bit of an off month for gaming, but it wasn’t too bad. However, it didn’t really hit the “new to me games” jackpot, with only three of them to write about. Funny how it’s still taken me longer… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2024”
