Hey there! It’s the weekend again, and I really appreciate you stopping by every week just to chat board games. Or to chat about anything, really. Actually, that’s not totally true, but it is nice to see you! Let me pour you a drink… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Liking Low-Rated Games”

September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”

It’s hard to believe August is over and we’re in September now! August was primed to be a big gaming month but it kind of sputtered with me getting sick. Missing a Sunday probably took 2-3 games (or at least plays) away from my… Continue Reading “August 2023 Gaming”

Dragonflight was my first convention ever, back in 2015 (I think). It’s held at the same hotel in Bellevue, Washington, as OrcaCon is held (though the hotel rooms are a lot more expensive, being in the Summer instead of January like OrcaCon). Thus, it… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2023 Retrospective”

July was yet another weird month for games, as I explained in last week’s “games played” post (sorry this one took so long after that). Even with that, I was able to get six new to me games to the table. Granted, three were… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2023”

Jamey Stegmaier of Stonemaier Games announced recently that their roll & write game, Rolling Realms, is coming to Steam soon, developed by Savant Games. That’s all well and good, but I’m not really a roll & write fan, so this news didn’t excite me… Continue Reading “Underwater Cities – Digital – Coming to Steam…Sometime”

With Father’s Day coming in June (here’s a link to the Father’s Day post I made in 2019, the first Father’s Day after my dad passed away), meaning that another Sunday Game Day was cancelled (or moved, but I chose to skip it), I… Continue Reading “June 2023 Gaming”

It’s June. I’m amazed that we’re almost half-way through the year already. But it’s also time to look back at May and the gaming that I did (which I did in general already) With Mother’s Day taking up one Sunday, it was another sparse… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2023”
