(Edit: 4/18/23) This was not announced in this month’s newsletter, so I’m assuming it will be in the May one. Interesting that it’s already on BGG and a blogger is talking about it, though (not me, the blogger that GMT RT’d) Lots of GMT… Continue Reading “Twilight Struggle: South Asian Monsoon Coming From GMT in 2024”

It’s been a couple of months since my “highlights” post for the monthly GMT Update, though that is mostly because the best parts of the February update made their own posts. This month had some great stuff and other cool updates in it, so… Continue Reading “Highlights from the March 2023 GMT Update”

August turned out to be a good month for gaming after a smaller July. Not only 30 plays of 22 games, but 11 new to me ones! That means (Gulp!) the “New to Me” post is going to be a bit late this month.… Continue Reading “My August 2022 Gaming”

I was completely surprised to discover that my last post about the monthly GMT Update was from December 2021. I know I said I was taking over for the Players’ Aid while their written blog was kind of back-burnered due to real-life stuff. They’re… Continue Reading “Highlights From the August 2022 GMT Games Update”

Wow. I was not expecting to take a 2-week break from the blog. I’m learning to listen to my heart and brain and just take breaks when I need to, and this last two weeks, I just haven’t felt like blogging. Whenever I thought… Continue Reading “Top 25 Games Played of All Time – 2022 Edition (#5-1)”

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”

Can it really be? Yes, this is the last post in the BGG Top 300 series, first begun back in February.

Three weeks. Yes, that’s three weeks. Three weeks in a row where I’ve done an entry for the Top 300 games on BGG! Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? I know, right? I don’t believe it either! Anyway, this is the… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #240 – 231”

I’ve posted a few times about games on the P500 list from GMT Games, the system where once pre-orders reach 500 they will be put into the production queue. It’s almost like Kickstarter, except you’re not obligated to pay until the game actually ships,… Continue Reading “In the Shadows – GMT Games”
