We’re halfway through the 4000s in our weekly look at games on the Boardgame Geek top games list, and things are looking up again. Slightly. Last week, I had only played two of the games in that century and I was beginning to despair… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4401 – 4500”

The last century of the BGG Top Games list was actually not too bad. Lots of nostalgic wargames for me, plus having played a few of the really cool games on the list. Still, the number of games played wasn’t the largest. Will this… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 4201 – 4300”

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”

One of my favourite auction games has to be Reiner Knizia’s classic game, Ra. I love the pieces, I love the auction mechanism where you are either starting an auction on what’s out there or you are adding to it, but the choice may… Continue Reading “Bidding Rats – Ratzia Review”

July is always going to be a bit of a slower month for gaming, mainly because I’m on vacation for a large portion of it. That means no lunchtime games! Though I was able to get a bunch of Final Girl plays in, which… Continue Reading “July 2026 Gaming”
