Real-Time Heroes – 5 Minute Marvel Review
I’m not a huge fan of real-time games, mainly because my brain doesn’t make decisions that quickly and thus I often find myself behind everybody else. Cooperative games can be a little different, because everybody’s trying to help each other and you’re not competing… Continue Reading “Real-Time Heroes – 5 Minute Marvel Review”
Stop Stealing My Stuff! – Cover Your Assets review
Some people don’t like “take that” games, where you are actively trying to harm your opponent (not literally, of course, unless you’re playing a game in some action movie against a mad villain who has made this a kill or be killed situation).

New to Me – August 2025
I love playing games that are new, even more when they’re older but still new to me! You know what I love even more? Having reviewed a bunch of them already so I don’t have to try and condense a description of them for… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2025”
August 2025 Gaming
It’s nice when a month of gaming comes together in unexpected ways is better than you expected it to be. I was surprised by July’s gaming numbers, considering I was off. August came around and I was going to be missing one Sunday due… Continue Reading “August 2025 Gaming”

Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective
I love game conventions. Not only do they give me even more of an opportunity to play great games, but it gives me the opportunity to game and chat with many people who I don’t see very often. That’s why Bottoscon is one of… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2025 Retrospective”
The Glory of Misfortune – Schadenfreude Review
You would think with how much I talk up some games on this blog that sometimes I might want to actually submit a formal review of them, right? I mean, I don’t want them to feel bad and left out. It’s like singing the… Continue Reading “The Glory of Misfortune – Schadenfreude Review”
I Predict That I Will Not Win This Game – Seven Prophecies Review
Another day, another trick-taking card game. What are the odds? These days, trick-taking games need some kind of hook to avoid being boring trash. Yeah, I know I’m repeating myself. But it must be emphasized! We’re in the middle of a trick-taking renaissance (thanks,… Continue Reading “I Predict That I Will Not Win This Game – Seven Prophecies Review”
Friday Night Shots – Cooperative Games
No, you’re not drunk or stoned or just seeing things. Yes, this is the third week in a row for a Friday Night Shots post. The bar is now open weekly! At least for now. Maybe not next week. I’m glad you happened to… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Cooperative Games”
