This is a Prince-Free Bash – Rebel Princess Review
I’ve been on a trick-taking tear recently, though that’s not necessarily reflected in my reviews (getting them played is another thing). I have been buying a bunch of them, though. One of them that I’ve actually played enough to review recently is a rather… Continue Reading “This is a Prince-Free Bash – Rebel Princess Review”
Top 10 New to Me Games of 2024
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”
New to Me – December 2024
It’s a new year, and coming up on my 8th blog anniversary in March! One thing I forgot to mention in yesterday’s Blog in Review post was the fact that, in those 8 years (or at least since I started, which I think was… Continue Reading “New to Me – December 2024”
Lifting the Vale – Vale of Eternity Review
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”
Let’s See What’s Out There – Faraway Review
Today’s review has its roots in a couple of recent posts by me, though I’ve been wanting to review it for a while now. Faraway is a card game designed by Johannes Goupy and Corentin Lebrat with artwork by Maxime Morin. It was published… Continue Reading “Let’s See What’s Out There – Faraway Review”
Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review
Tableau-building card games are becoming all the rage. Or maybe they’ve been the rage and I just never noticed? (Editor: “Doesn’t say much for your observational skills, does it?”) One thing I haven’t seen much of, however, are tableau-building games where you are combining… Continue Reading “Two-Steppin’ in the Woods – Forest Shuffle Review”
Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective
Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees. The convention… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2024 Retrospective”
New to Me – October 2024
As I mentioned the other day, October as a month really sucked, especially for gaming. Being sick, missing three game days, I was totally surprised that I actually managed to play any new to me games! Much less three. I even managed to placate… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2024”
New to Me – September 2024
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”
September 2024 Gaming
September was a weird month for gaming, mainly because we didn’t play a lot at work because various people were away (or we just were so exhausted due to work stuff that we just wanted to hibernate at lunch). Thus, most (but not all)… Continue Reading “September 2024 Gaming”
