There were no conventions attended in May, but there was a 14-hour games marathon where a bunch of games were played. So I knew this would be a lengthy post! This month, I actually played more new to me games than I did in… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2026”

It’s always interesting when good games are reimplemented. Will the new one keep the same quality or charm as the previous game? Will it make it better?

It’s Wednesday, the middle of the week, so how about a middle post about Boardgame Geek rankings? I mentioned last week that I’ll keep doing these until I hit a week where I haven’t played anything. That ain’t this week! I should remind folks… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 3001 – 3100”

It’s amazing how many times a company can go to the same well, bringing up a game with all of the same mechanics and some slight variations in how those mechanics are executed, and still come up with a fun game that (maybe) surpasses… Continue Reading “It’s All Greek to Me – Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends Review”

I knew this month would not be as good as last month. No conventions! But I was still able to get some solid gaming in, though maybe not as much as usual. One Sunday I wasn’t able to make it and the lunchtime games… Continue Reading “April 2026 Gaming”

I hope you’re enjoying my weekly look at games ranked on Boardgame Geek that aren’t in the Top 1000. I know I’m enjoying writing them, because I love the discussion they can cause (though sadly not last week, because I left two hooks in… Continue Reading “BGG Top Games – 2601-2700”

This is very late, and I am very sorry. Usually I have written my “New to Me Games” post by the end of the first week of the month. But March was such a cornucopia of new games that I just couldn’t do it!… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2026”

Don’t you hate it when you’re having a peaceful Sunday brunch, and suddenly James’ bacon pulls out a machine gun and starts firing it at your burger, while Abi’s pesto linguini starts shooting rockets at both Vicki’s pizza and your tater tots?
