February 2025 Gaming

BG Stats - Feb 2025 - Grid format

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

Arcs - Map During Play

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

Harmonies - Final board

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

Vale of Eternity - Claimed

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

Inventors of the South Tigris - River & Research

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

Let's Go to Japan - Box

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”

Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux

What do you do if you love ships but you’re afraid of being out on the water so you can’t actually go sailing? Especially if you’re a Viking? You get a job building them instead of sailing them! That’s the premise of Shipwrights of… Continue Reading “Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux”

Friday Night Shots – Drafting Games

It’s been a week since my last post. And wow, what a week. Ok, it wasn’t that bad, but I just needed a bit of a recharge and decided not to think too much about writing this week. More stuff coming next week, definitely.… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Drafting Games”

September 2023 Gaming

As 2023 steamrolls ahead, another month of gaming is complete! September actually was a slight step back from August, even though I didn’t miss any game days! However, there were fewer days at work where we had lunch free to play. In addition to… Continue Reading “September 2023 Gaming”
